  • What's it say? My work Nazis have blocked all sport sites except Charlton Life.
  • It warns Hudds fans that Sky are looking for a fixture that weekend and may pick us and move the time / day.
  • htafc.com
    has information for fans who are planning to travel to Town's npower
    League 1 fixture at Charlton Athletic on Saturday 26 November.

    The
    Football League has notified the Club that Sky intend to select a live
    fixture from the npower League 1 or 2 that weekend to be broadcast on
    the evening of Monday 28 November. However, this selection will not be
    made until the Carling Cup Round 4 fixtures have been completed on 26
    October.

  • Thanks for clarifying. Not seen the other fixtures for that weekend but you'd have to think ours would be the most appealing game. Pity for the Hudds fans planning to travel down, should think that would cut their numbers in half. Still, when has Sky ever given a monkeys about inconveniencing those of us who actually attend games.
  • To put infomation up almost 3 weeks before a decision has been made on there OS they must know somthing.

    I highly expect that it will be a Monday night game.

  • Back off Sky

    Not just the travelling udders fans, those of us living a few miles away were looking forward to this one.
  • @Southamptonaddick
    Hadn't really considered that, but you're right. Plus a few kids now not allowed to attend on a school night. A crowd that could potentially have been up around the 18k mark potentially dropping to 14k - 15k, as with Sheff Weds.  

  • You are a Sky producer.  You have to pick a game that doesn't feature a Sky 4 Club.  You have never heard of most of the teams in these leagues.

    Who do you pick?

    Bury v Preston, 15:00



    Exeter v Tranmere, 15:00


    MK Dons v Wycombe, 15:00

    Hartlepool v Preston

    Saturday, 26 November 2011




    Crewe v Hereford, 15:00








  • Barnet v Macclesfield sounds tasty.

  • Chesterfield vs Sheff Utd is a local derby of sorts, features a former Premier League club, and features a relegated and a promoted club. That's the only contender to our game as far as I can see. They'll favour our game cos it's in London - less far to send their staff.
  • Yes, they could definitely go with that one - think they will stick with what could be th etop 2 though.
  • oh balls. There goes 3 points!
  • @MrLargo
    I'm with Soton on this one - evening games are a pain in general getting out of work early to travel up and definitely too late for CatJnr so 2 definites has turned into 1 maybe.
    Hope they might be tempted by Sheff W, but I fear you're right that they will plump for a London tie..
  • Bound to be on the Monday night, we have planned our first trip back to the UK in three years around Brentford away and Huddersfield at home, and we are flying back on the 28th. If the flight is not delayed at least we will be back just in time to watch it on the telly. :-(

    Who do you pick?

    MK Dons v Wycombe.  El Superclassico.  The Beds/Bucks derby as two sporting 'nations' go head to head. 
  • They can't do that, we have arranged a trip down south centred around going to the Valley to watch this game, and anyway "we always loose on Sky" - is this a Huddersfield plot to extend their unbeaten run??????
  • Sky run football & what they say goes but their really should be some kind of time limit on this. e.g.  Naming games 3 months in advance so supporters don't book train tickets etc but then when have supporters ever mattered to sky ?
  • Should be Bury v Preston, Sky cum in their pants when there is a local derby in the Premiershit, it is advertised weeks before as "D Day" or "Showdown Day" so let the trend continue in the lower leagues.

     

    Will be gutted if this is moved as will deffo effect the crowd

  • Hartlepool are already playing Preston on the Tuesday night so why not just switch that to the Monday. Simples.

  • Hartlepool v Yeovil is a titanic clash
  • edited October 2011
    More than happy if this one gets switched to the Monday night as evening games are a lot easier for me to get to.

  • You would have to be a pretty hardcore Yeovil fan to go all that way to watch a game already on sky.

    But sky won't see it like that...

  • Sky will go for thegame they think will attract the biggest audience - as simple as that.

    You can go off people you know... ;-)  
  • I was under the impression that Sky could only show three matches from the same team in league one.

    Due to the fact that the Sheffield Wednesday, Orient (31st Dec) and now potentially Huddersfield match will be shown, this means that they wont televise any or our "six pointers" at the end of the season, this surprises me somewhat.
  • Won't show us then if that's correct.

    Maybe they have to televise a minimum 3 games for each team, but I'm sure there is no maximum.

    I know it's Prem, but Man U are on most weeks.

  • We have the same information as Huddersfield and reached similar conclusions to some of you. But if they want CAFC v Huddersfield, why wait? We're both out of the Carling Cup already.
