Whether it is technically legal or not is secondary or not. The reality is that you cannot watch a 3pm game in the UK without a VPN/pirating which was the point of discussionAirman Brown said:

“It is unlikely that the football authorities would pursue cases against individuals who watch games in this manner, with the more desirable avenue to bring claims directly against the file sharing sites through the ISPs. Indeed, in 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that internet users who watch copyrighted material online aren’t breaking the law by doing so.”
This is about pirate streams, but in this case the copyright holder is knowingly colluding in making the material available in the UK. So good luck to anyone prosecuting that!3 -
F*** the environment!Showmetheway2gohome said:Think sky will do this all season to attract more tv viewers championship matches 12.30 away fans got to get up early league one late to get home Saturday night.So more might choose just to watch it on sky. Good for the environment I suppose less football fans travelling3 -
Understood but I do know people who won’t do it because they are concerned about breaking the law. They wouldn’t be.fenaddick said:

And it's not as if people who pay the £10 are cheating the club out of money either.Airman Brown said:

Indeed I can honestly say that last season the club and "the EFL in general" made money from me as a result of using a VPN and buying £10 passes, as I still had an expensive Zone A season ticket, and only watched away games on streaming that I wouldn't have gone to anyway.4 -

Showing both the 26th and the 29th, clearly Sky are just setting up the rig in the car park over Christmas and can't be arsed to go anywhere else. Will probably hit the attendance on those days too as there will be no excuse to leave the MILs for the football as you can "watch it in the spare room"2

This is so shit2

Yes, it's a small amount when compared with what people were expecting e.g. every other week.clb74 said:

I'm assuming the games with asterisks next to them are on International weekends.Callumcafc said:Confirmed fixture schedule up until the January fixtures released by the club.

Yes - if you look closely it says that near the top. Odd - usually asterisk info is at the bottom?golfaddick said:

So 7 out of 13 home games are 3pm on a Saturday (if international weekends matches are cancelled for us )0

I have Virgin TV with a subscription to Sky sports HD ( for the football and F1) I have gone through the sky programmes and seem not to have Sky sports+.( at least it is not listed) only had this since last September, I assume I will have to do a system update?..... or will this be done automatically?.
Appreciate any links or advice
I hope to attend some home games, and take the grandkids down to the Valley (who have shown an interest). I have not attended evening games, due to the nonsense of the M20, amongst other considerations as I live on the coast and being north of 70 years of age, not confident to drive on narrow country roads late at night.

I have Sky & I believe they said it starts in August. When exactly I have no idea but I would expect by next Friday when I think there are some Championship games kicking off the season.ken from bexley said:I have Virgin TV with a subscription to Sky sports HD ( for the football and F1) I have gone through the sky programmes and seem not to have Sky sports+.( at least it is not listed) only had this since last September, I assume I will have to do a system update?..... or will this be done automatically?.

Mind you the upgrade didn’t work & an engineer came today and replaced my V6 boxes.
