Was 3rd July 2015 last season, for August and September games.

Might be asking a stupid question, but is there a possibility of any further changes after the TV fixtures are released?

stoz · « **Reply #3 on:** June 20, 2016, 05:51:41 am »

With the fixture list becoming ever more complicated, then yes, there is always the possibility of further changes. The first half of the season is usually OK though. It's only generally after Christmas that there may be further amendments, when games may be 'subject to either team not being in an FA Cup replay or European tie' for example.

Friday night games as well. Sky might be tempted by the opening game at Arsenal as the first night game.

So I suppose any fixture in September should be relatively safe for now. Cheers fellas.

If by safe you mean it'll be anywhere from Friday - Monday then yes!

Should be announced next week for August & September according to the PL.

Just be aware our ticket allocation at WHL this season is 500/600 less than we usually get due to work beginning on their new stadium. Tickets might be that bit harder to come by, for an already popular away.

Plus it'll be only £30, plus it's very early on in the season.

The away football gods have cursed me this season

Burried deep on Sky Sports website

When will Sky's first live fixtures be announced?

That’s still to be confirmed but we expect to bring you details of the first batch of Premier League fixtures - those to be shown live on Sky Sports in August and September - at the beginning of July.

From the Mirror

Quote

A Sky Sports spokesman confirmed to The Gazette that the first batch of televised matches will be released “in early July, around three or four weeks after the Premier League fixtures have been released”.

The Premier League confirmed that clubs should learn which of their early Premier League fixtures will be televised “in the first week of July”, with a second batch of TV games to be announced “a couple of weeks after that”.

Nothing like being vague.....

Its a nightmare waiting for the TV dates to be announced, so few cheap tickets on the trains and such a wide spread of time now 10 Friday and 18 Monday games.

Worse because of the way they have split the TV packages it's is almost impossible to predict how the games will be picked, our game against Leicester will be on Sky either 1.30 on the Sunday or 12.30 on the Sat

wackojackouk · « **Reply #18 on:** July 6, 2016, 12:40:59 pm »

I think that sales is only on for travel up to 4th Sept.

If the Burnley game is switched (as per rumours) then no good for our games anyway.

PITA though as I need to organise the Leicester/Hull games.

A Saturday pm would suit me nicely

lfc79 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 6, 2016, 01:54:56 pm »

Sat pm is the BT sport game, they way the packages work if Sky use their 1st pick to get the Manc derby for 4pm on Sunday they get the second pick as well which will most likely be our game.

I more worried about the 15 3rd choice picks sky get for Friday / Monday night.

According to prem lg Twitter feed the first TV games are released at 9am this morn

Aggers-Elbow · « **Reply #22 on:** July 7, 2016, 08:12:53 am »

About time. Bit of info for anyone getting the train down to any of the first few aways, virgin have got train tickets on sale to London for the next couple of days.

Alf · « **Reply #23 on:** July 7, 2016, 08:47:38 am »

Am wondering if they'd be better off not announcing the fixtures until the TV games are boxed for the 1st few months.

Made up Arsenal isn't on the Monday. Chelsea should be a laugh

wackojackouk · « **Reply #30 on:** July 7, 2016, 10:36:30 am »

Glad Hull hasn't changed. If you're in London get on Virgin Trains sharpish before all the cheap tickets go.

Got Adult/Child on a Railcard for £27 return

lfc79 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 7, 2016, 11:19:56 am »

Managed to get a £32 return this morning which was good, hope we don't have to many Sunday games as looks like the evening returns start at £36.

Pretty poor prediction in the end, not sure why all the big games are on Sat with only one game on the Sunday

Thanks for this, just got an adult return for £21 (w/railcard). Let’s hope the members sale goes to plan

About half the allocation from two years ago - they've split that stand behind the goal half and half with home and away fans.
