Jaytee Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Who the hell do Sky Sports think they are! Match at MKDons been switched from Friday to Saturday evening. Bank holiday Monday match been switched to Tuesday. All at short notice. Basically only one game over the holiday period. If ever there was confirmation that money in general and Sky in particular are ruining our national game this is one big example. No thought given to the needs or views of fans and corporate media companies pulling all the strings. EFL should have told them to p@@s off ! Shame on you Sky and more shame on the EFL for letting this happen. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Sky can do what they want since football sold their soul to them back in the 90's. As for EFL, they won't say boo to a ghost. They are bullies who wet themselves unless it's one of their own members they choose to go after, at the behest of one of their other members, who seems to have more influence than other supposed equal shareholders. It's rubbish and ruins a usually good footballing weekend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sky would argue that have spent hundreds and hundreds of millions on showing football and they coverage is a reason football s more popular than it was 30 years ago. They didn't hold a gun to the head of the clubs to sign the deal that made them all richer. The clubs know that fans are too loyal for they own good and be some moaning at this fixture change but still be a few thousand going to MK Dons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DoesJackHunt Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 it's infuriating. They couldn't care less about the fans who are actually attending the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a "fizz Sky" chant required through this game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not defending Sky but the real rumination of sport is money and the putting of making money quickly before what is good for the sport. Does Football need money to survive or survive to make money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I just cant see who benefits from this in any substantial way. Other than the fans of us and MK I can’t see anyone will give a crap about watching the game. Having no bank holiday game whatsoever is a really big deal. The change from Friday to Saturday is a big old fûck you to travelling fans. The change from Monday to Tuesday is a royal pain in the arse for everyone. It must be great being sky with all the money and power and no accountability to anyone. Fûck you sky! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
