Fixtures Moved For Tv

[Ancipital]

Dundee United and Hearts both moved to the Friday night. Suits me, much prefer that to a Sunday.

SPL Website

 

Is the SPFL setting up a website or will they continue to run as if the SPL and SFL are separate? If that is the case, are we in the SPFL SPL?

[twinny]

Aw whit, and the Hearts one is on ALBA, not ESPN, so I'll have a harder time convincing a Scouse Barman to put the game on.

[potty trained]

Can we stay in the first, this is turning out to be a right pile of pish.

[uberteeb]

Awesome

[Lambies Lost Doo]

That's pish. I can't do Friday. I also had arranged a day out with at least 8 people (6 non Jags fans) for the Saturday too to get them along and interested. My first tv scheduling moan. We are in the big time now.

[German Jag]

Shouldn't complain, being on TV means that there'll be a stream available, even if it is 1 o'clock on a Saturday morning China time!

 

Also see that two games switched to 5:15 / 5:30 on a Saturday, as well as the Airdrie / Sevco game switched to a Friday night!

[Guy Incognito]

I don't mind, to be honest. At least it leaves the Saturday free.

[The Sunnylaw Jag]

I seem to remember as a lad going to see Thistle play Dundee United in a friendly on a Friday night and we won 2 nil in the early 70's. Did I make this up??

[glenncraig]

I've booked both they days off to go. And now they've both been changed to the Friday I can't make either.

[peagreenboy]

THANK GOD we'll all get to enjoy the Titanic Tussle between those two giants - Airdrie and Rangers!

 

When Ugly meets Fugly.

[Norgethistle]

10 live games in August, 10 games where the times are being changed, 14 sets of fans having their plans messed about.

 

No wonder the games on its arse in terms of attendances

[jif]

why am i not surprised. I changed my shifts for that week so i could get the weekend off. Time to beg borrow and steal if i want to make this one.

[German Jag]

Also once we beat United on the Friday night, we'll be in pole-position! Champions league here we come...

[Stewarty]

Baws. I can still make it but I was looking forward to the usual Saturday build up. Hope the attendance isn't hit too hard.

[One t in Scotland]

Too right. I really fancied Cowdenbeath at home as the season opener.

[Norgethistle]

So that's Augusts fixtures are they going to decide the changes on a month by month basis?

[Ancipital]

More or less, aye. Will depend on postponements, European fixtures (probably in Celtic's case only) and what other games might be seen as key as the season goes on.

 

This isn't just a Scottish thing, the Bundesliga have only announced weeks 1-5 TV fixtures at the moment.

[stillresigned]

I know it's sounding a bit like old Canute, but I think all this is once again at the expense of supporters who actually attend matches.

[Garscube Road End]

Utter pish! I work every Friday night! Effin joke!

[BowenBoys]

My two young boys plus two of their friends (who have also been persuaded to get season tickets) were looking forward to the first game of the season. Now I have to break it to them that they can't go.

 

Very disappointed that our flag day is now a flag evening.

This is nonsense for anyone traveling from any distance (ie Norway) we try to get the flights as early as possible to save on cost, usually non refundable too. Plus folk who arrange shift changes at work find out the Saturday they've arranged as free from work is also free from Thistle

I am in the same boat. Scared to break it to my son he can't go.

 

Total pish, flag day is ruined for him.
