Unfortunately they can, they've done it hundreds of times in the past and will continue to do so, regardless of how it affects people planning to go to games.mephisto wrote:This somewhat dumps all over carefully laid monthly plans. Can they do this? Jees.

Re: 2011-12: Advance news of fixture schedule
anyone know when the March TV changes will be out?
I was hopeful it might have been this week... I know supporters who have to plan and travel to games are the last consideration when it comes to TV

Re: 2011-12: Advance news of fixture schedule
Liverpool v Arsenal will have to remain on Saturday 3rd March as Arsenal will be playing Milan on Tuesday 6th March. More than likely it'll be a sky game so will probably be a 12:45 kick off. I'm sure Arsene will be delighted with that after the internationals the previous Wednesday.

Advance news of fixtures
Looking even further ahead to league play-offs at Wembley next season:
The Football League and Football Association have reached an agreement regarding the scheduling of the 2012-13 Football League play-off finals at Wembley Stadium. The 2013 Uefa Champions League Final is already due to take place at the same venue on Saturday 25 May.
As a result, the League One and League Two play-off finals will move forward seven days to the weekend of 17-18 May with the regular season finishing a week earlier in both divisions. The Championship play-off final will remain at its original date: Bank Holiday Monday 27 May.

Re: 2011-12: Advance news of fixture schedule
Liverpool v Tottenham can now go ahead as planned on Monday 6th February, as can Wolves v Man United on Sunday March 18th. Still no word from sky or the premier league on whether they're going to bring the North London derby back by a day. Maybe it will go ahead on February 26th along with the Carling cup final.
Also Wigan v West Brom and Fulham v Swansea can both go ahead on Saturday March 17th at 3pm. All other Premier League games on March 17th, 18th and 19th remain under threat at the moment.

Re: 2011-12: Advance news of fixture schedule
If you look at the small print
The only exceptions will be if an English club is involved in the Europa League final the following Wednesday and would prefer to play on the Saturday, and if Sky choose to show a top-flight match in the Saturday lunchtime slot - the Premier League would be contractually obliged to agree to that.

Re: 2011-12: Advance news of fixture schedule
Without wanting to be too presumptious about who will be in the shake-up for the title at the end of the season, neither of the Manchester club's fixtures will be postponed that weekend because of the FA Cup. All four teams involved in the two games are already out of the Cup. I imagine Sky would want to show both fixtures on the same day so they should both be on the Sunday.
Spurs of course are still in the cup and have a decent shout of making the final; their opponents that day Villa are out. Liverpool v Chelsea is an appealing fixture that day for the Saturday early slot, although it could be the Cup final as well, echoing last season's coincidence of City v Stoke.

Monday 7th May is a bank holiday so sky could show a game or two that day if no English team makes the Europa Final.

Nothing I've seen. As they both got straight through then no reason why it couldn't be the replay midweek (6/7 March). Proabably plenty of others to pick from though.Shaggy365 wrote:I don't suppose there's any word on the Liverpool v Everton game that's not taking place this weekend?
