We'll find out soon enough how accurate this is.

What are we thinking is likely to get moved at the minute in the first few months? Arsenal and City pretty much nailed on

redman1974 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 14, 2017, 01:04:24 pm »

Think Watford will stay Saturday and if not a 3pm kick off then the early kick off. Don't think it will be moved to Sunday as we have our qualifier the following week.

Everton at home will be moved if they get in the EL group stages as they will then play the Thursday before. Everton away will also be moved for the same reasons if they progress.

Bournemouth at home is Hillsborough anniversary weekend so it can't be moved from Saturday the 14th to Sunday the 15th. Doubt we will play the Saturday as that is grand national day so most likely move to either Friday or Monday.

2 midweek games before Xmas to definitely Stoke away and WBA at home and then Huddersfield away is also definitely midweek to in January

Bournemouth at home won't be moved to the Friday if we are still in the Europa League having dropped down into it from the Champions League. This is not impossible (it happened in 2009-10). The second leg of the 2017-18 Europa League quarter-final will be played on Thursday 12th April 2018. I suppose we could have an early or late kick-off on Grand National Saturday.

They won't even know yet I wouldn't think.

Also, they can show live 3pm away games as Arsenal have done it for years

Tommypig · « **Reply #7 on:** June 29, 2017, 12:38:36 pm »

Intresting I thought it wasnt allowed - you would think it would contravene competition rules that clubs have a closed shop on it.

They're not allowed to be broadcast to the general public. Somehow screening it to a small audience of Arsenal Members contravenes this though. They do it for every not televsied away game.

I suspect that the FA would also get a cut of ticket sales

Man Utd will surely be on the Saturday? European fixtures in the midweek after it. The draw for the Champions League group stages isn't until 24th August. The TV scheduling is out 11th August. Teams wont be made to play Sunday/Tuesday would they?

You'd expect so. Unless they put a clause in it like they sometimes do "If Liverpool / Man U are on Tesday the game will be Saturday, if Liverpool v Man U are on Wednesday the game will be Sunday.

DangerScouse · « **Reply #12 on:** July 1, 2017, 09:11:16 pm »

From memory, Liverpool and Utd always play on alternate CL nights. I could be wrong though.

Presume Sky still have the early Saturday fixture?

One would expect that to be the case. Can't see it being any other way.

United will be alternated with City for policing. Don't think all 3 of us have been in CL at the same time.

City/United on different nights. Likewise Chelsea/Spurs. So Liverpool could go either way...although I suspect the police wouldn't want the headache of Liverpool and United at home in night games causing issues at certain transportation pinch-points.

Anyone reckon there's any chance the Liverpool-United game could be on the Friday night? I doubt police would like that but in terms of scheduling...

They don't have to be on different nights if one is home and the other away

Shanklygates · « **Reply #17 on:** July 4, 2017, 11:51:30 pm »

Don't we usually have a "partner" where one is home and the other away on the same night? Though not sure how it would work with 5 of us!

For television purposes they would, as the two clubs have the biggest draw in England.

Exactly the reason I've not booked my travel yet.

Yes, if we go out of the CL Qualifier then we'll be in the EL (Heaven forbid!)

Shit already booked tickets from London for the Burnley game, still able to get direct return for £45 for the palace game which was surprising since its a London team

Is it safe to assume that Everton home will be on Sunday 10th December?

Bound to be on TV anyway, but the issue is the final European group stage games the midweek previous (with Everton playing theirs on the Thursday), and then West Brom in the league in the midweek that follows...Sunday seems to be the only day it could be.

Looking to book a holiday so I want to be sure I've not missed something!

Given Wagner was Klopp's best man, I wouldn't rule out sky picking a game where the two German pals meet one another for one of their televised games. Any games of note on that weekend?

Good point. On the same weekend Man U vs spurs is on so I assume that will be on tv.

It'll almost certainly be on the Saturday. It's a league cup week so it won't be on the Friday and it's CL the week after so none of the 5 teams will get moved to the Sunday which means you'll get United v Spurs at either 12.30 or 5.30 and then probably either Chelsea or City in whichever time slot they don't play in.
