What's the thinking of the Blackburn game? Pandering to Christmas shoppers?

No Steve Clarke says he wants an extra day for preparation after playing away on the Wednesday.

Bloody typical! We organise a big family get together for 20 Dec so that everyone who wants to can see the game on 19 Dec. Thank you you Sky for messing up my weekend.

I don't normally care about games getting changed for TV but Sky jumping on the bandwagon in such a big way is a bit much isn't it? 4 fixture changes in 3 weeks is crazy!

Having said that, nice to have a couple of away games on the telly, it normally feels like they enjoy showing us at home because it's convenient

Just another excuse to sing "We're not famous anymore" without realising the irony of how often they're picked for TV despite being shit.

I thought these games were for the convenience and entertainment of the fans...............

I am obviously wrong.

They are never not on the telly!

I put on Eastenders last night, Grant & Sharon were working the bar as usual and in strolls Jonathan Woodg8 and Alan Smith asking for a pint.

Switched over to Grand Designs and El-Hadji Diouf is showing Kevin McCloud around his new plot of land explaining where he will be installing his cinema room

Thought Norman Hunter was excellent on Bake Off, just let down by his puff pastry.

Leeds are a really big club though, probably almost as big as Brighton in fact

Box at the races, free alcohol and 3 course meal then a coach/taxi to a hired out pub for a free bar all night with rooms or taxis laid on for people who need or do I go to Hull? :evil:
