Can I ask why anyone would have booked a train ticket a month in advance? Especially in the winter when we have games cancelled for bad weather anyway.
Generally because if you book a fixed ticket well in advance it costs a reasonable sum that an average human can just about afford but if you buy close to the day of travel it costs £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££s.
Lord I hope its not a Monday night fixture on Sky. Live coverage brings the worse out in the team and the support on a Monday night is dire. I have a 135 mile round trip after work and can't always make it on a Monday night. Would Sky like to refund part of my season ticket if they switch it at this late stage.
I don't think sky would change it as thhey'd make it unable to show uus on tv next year at all. As their is a 3 match maximum they can show league 1 and 2 teams. So with sheff wed game leyton orient and this. Our 3 would have been shown and we wouldn't be on sky till next season unless we go in the playoff's. Can understand the draw of the game but hope sky don't choose it.
It's not 3 game max, it's three games minimum and I believe it only applies in the Premier League, hence Man Utd are on telly pretty much every weekend.
Sympathies to those who have been inconvenienced by the Huddersfield change, reckon we could have topped 20,000 for this on the Saturday, will be more like 15000 now.

This, Huddersfield would have sold out a Sat and we would have had a lot of extra home fans in....gutted
doubt Huddersfield would have sold out the Jimmy Seed, they had about 1,250 last season on a saturday
Sorry Mike but i disagree, if we both go into this game in the top two positions and they are still holding on to their unbeaten run I reckon there was every chance of a huge Hudds turn out for a Sat game.
Can we reject the offer if it means that we will lose money by changing it to a Monday ?
Surely Sky don't make the rules .. the Football League do (even though they are heavily funded by Sky !!!)
No we can't. The Football League have a contract with Sky, the terms of which include that Sky can do pretty much what they want when they want. As a Football League member club we are automatically bound by the contractual terms agreed by the Football League.
I took a train to London on Tuesday, but that was the first time I'd been on a train for as long as I can remember - months, at least.
Why do the train companies charge less if you book early. Is it cheaper again if you book even earlier, > a month?
If they do charge much less I can only assume it's because they expect to sell a number of tickets that will not be needed on the date in question so wouldn't be purchased if they were bought on the day?
Thus, presumably, you, over a long period, pay for the odd ticket that you don't use. This game change s very inconvenient for some, but there are lots of other reasons as to why one might not travel after booking a ticket. I guess that's the risk you take with pre-booking.
Personally, I'm pleased as I have something on the Saturday that I have to attend so I would have missed the game, but I do have sympathy for those that now can't go.

Sorry but this made me laugh. "Sky don't make the rules"
Sky say jump and the FL say "how high?"
Glad that put a smile on your face but simple things please simple minds I guess )
What I meant was has anyone every rejected this type of switch or do all clubs just have to lump it .. it's only £30K from what someone said and we'll lose more than that I'd imagine

I always thought the rule was a 3 game MINIMUM?
And I guess KHA doesnt buy many train tickets?!
I'm sure there's not a 3 game max limit on the number of live games
Gutted for you P.
Any chance you can alter you plans?

has it officially changed yet ?
Get rid of your sky subscription then youll be in a position to complain.
Dance with the devil and you do it to his tune.
