BOF Posted July 10, 2007 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2007 by BOF Today was the day that both Sky & Setanta let the paying customer know just how inconvenienced they will be, by announcing their televised schedule of the pre-December fixture list. Sky have announced 4 games involving the Villa and Setanta have announced a further 4 games. That's 8 of our first 15 games of the season available through the 2 satellite channels. A decent haul of over 50% for the foreign or TV fan.But no doubt a lot of logistical headaches to work around for the fan planning on actually going to the matches. So in that sense it would seem that we are a more attractive proposition than we have been for a while. Whether or not the irregular kickoff times will adversely affect attendance figures during the course of the season will no doubt be discussed in detail over on the forum. Somehow I think we'll still have a much higher average attendance next season than the one just gone. Here are the new kickoff times of the televised games Aug Sat 11th @ 17:15 Home to Liverpool on Setanta Aug Sat 18th @ 17:15 Away to Newcastle on Setanta Sep Sun 02nd @ 16:00 Home to Chelsea on Sky Sep Sun 16th @ 16:00 Away to ManCiteh on Sky Oct Mon 01st @ 20:00 Away to Spurs on Setanta Oct Sat 20th @ 17:15 Home to ManUre on Setanta Oct Sun 28th @ 13:30 Away to Bolton on Sky Nov Sun 11th @ 13:00 Away to Noses on Sky[/code] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam100 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 delighted with them i have a season ticket, but I can't afford to go to every away game so having 5 out of the first 6 on the TV is great news for me good to see Newcastle is on the TV as thats too far to go anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSufferingVilla Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Works nicely for me thanks to the ime difference I won't have to get up too early to catch the games at the pub with the exception of the last two Sunday games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 10, 2007 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2007 Only three homes games affected thankfully, and those against Liverpool, Chelsea and Man utd so I'd hope this shouldn't put much of a dent in attendances ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
