So much for January's TV fixtures being announced today

Does this mean that all December is done ABJ ? and the Leicester fixture is locked in now ? Thanks very much Pat.

BT have announced their fixtures for that weekend but Sky haven't.

I wouldn't count on it yet Pat, as Alf has said, Sky still haven't announced their picks. Will be Monday at the earliest now

Thanks pal have a sneaking suspicion they might try and move us to Friday evening even though we are playing at half five on boxing day.

I'd be happy with just Dec 30th for now! Been waiting to book something that wknd for months

redgriffin73 · « **Reply #165 on:** October 27, 2017, 08:47:40 pm »

Yep, can't be arsed with NYE again, hope it's left on the 30th.

Nothing yet still!!!

MKB · « **Reply #167 on:** October 30, 2017, 04:24:23 pm »

Yep, and they're already 18 days late compared to the originally promised date. If ever you needed proof that Sky, BT Sport and the PL care not one jot for fans, then ...

Alf · « **Reply #168 on:** October 31, 2017, 03:23:50 pm »

Apparently the Championship clubs have now been told January's fixtures and they are announced after the Premier League's. So rumour has it either the Police or one of the sides have kicked off about NYE, most likely Spurs & West Ham.

Danthemanaussiered · « **Reply #169 on:** October 31, 2017, 03:59:09 pm »

A friend of mine rang up the Premier league and they said the announcement won't be till tomorrow or Thursday now. So not only are they pushing back their own deadlines by a ridiculous amount, they can't even inform the fans that are waiting for the news.

Tommypig · « **Reply #170 on:** October 31, 2017, 08:49:30 pm »

Apparently Wembley staff refusing to work NYE hence problems Spurs v West Ham

ABJ · « **Reply #171 on:** November 2, 2017, 02:45:31 pm »

So a full 21 days since the January TV picks were due be announced, still nothing. Meanwhile, the cheap train trains to various matches continue to rise

AMF

Disgraceful!

Still no NYE confirmation either is there? That could easily have been done with the rest of December.

I've just e-mailed Richard Scudamore to express my disappointment regarding January, will let you know if I get any response.

I've spoken to the Premier League on 020 7864 9000 last Friday afternoon. If anybody else wants to ring and ask when the January tv games will be announced feel free.

They told me that the fixtures would be announced last Friday or an announcement would be made as to when they would be announced. I've contacted them repeatedly on Twitter and been ignored. So if I can't response from the CEO, I'm not getting a response from anybody there.

I know people have contacted both them and Sky, who the PL have ignored while Sky have responded saying they'll be announced ASAP. The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust have been told the same thing and the FSF are chasing the Premier League for further information.

Even if they said that it will be next Friday 10th Nov, at least we'd have a date. Its the fact that it could be anytime now that is the pain in the arse. A date would also stop me constantly checking their website for any news.

Agreed and that's what I've called on Scudamore to do either announce them today or the date they will be announced. I don't think that's too much to ask for when you consider they missed 12 October, then the 27 October and it's nearly a week since they said they'd be announced ASAP.

It's worth keeping an eye on the link below just to see if the date changes online and they don't say anything.

Three of Liverpool's Premier League fixtures in January have tonight been rescheduled for television coverage.

The Anfield meeting with Manchester City has been moved to a 4pm GMT kick-off on Sunday January 14, and will be shown by Sky Sports.

The Reds’ trip to Swansea City has been re-arranged for 8pm on Monday January 22, with Sky Sports also broadcasting this match.

BT Sport will televise the away game against Huddersfield Town, which will now kick off at 8pm on Tuesday January 30.

Shanklygates · « **Reply #181 on:** November 3, 2017, 08:43:20 pm »

Swansea a bloody Mon night again???

So 2 days' leave in 8 days....

And FA4 game Fri/Sat then.....if we are in it

SuperStevieNicol · « **Reply #182 on:** November 3, 2017, 09:26:27 pm »

So Leicester is definitely the 30th at 3pm?

I'd been on e-mail to somebody at BT Sport earlier who at 4:30 said they were close to being done and they were confident they'd be announced at least 6 weeks beforehand. I then got another one at 7 saying they'd be released tonight.

exCite · « **Reply #184 on:** November 16, 2017, 09:12:03 am »

Tickets for Watford sorted, just noticed that there's a possible CL Round of 16 leg near it and if we or Watford get to the Quarter Final of the FA Cup, it's played the 17th of March.

All this and a possible TV showing, could move this game, I'm having my fingers crossed.

J_Kopite · « **Reply #185 on:** November 16, 2017, 09:55:11 am »

Our game with Spurs is definitely going to move isn't it?

Nailed on I reckon, no chance that it will be @ 1500 on the Saturday, it will definitely be a TV pick.

I had forgotten we didn't know them already! $:-\$

Just hope our weekend games are at the weekend and not Fri/Mon!

campioni · « **Reply #190 on:** December 12, 2017, 09:54:43 am »

Shouldn't be that hard for them to sort, considering there's only three rounds of league fixtures in February.

royabs · « **Reply #191 on:** December 12, 2017, 11:45:34 am »

Won't be today according to Huddersfield Town's twitter apparently.

weebroalan · « **Reply #192 on:** December 13, 2017, 12:27:38 pm »

What's the point in putting up announcement dates if they don't stick to them. Hopefully today as I need to book a room for the Spurs match.

Total joke though. 3rd time this season they've missed their own deadlines!

It's the fact they've missed it by 10 days. A few days you can understand but this long is a joke. The Spurs match is 3rd Feb so not that long away now! Do I need a hotel for Fri/Sat/Sun???!!! Joke
