BOF Posted November 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2018 Fans not happy Quote 'Disgusting' - Aston Villa and Leeds United fans rage over Sky Sports Christmas debacle Aston Villa and Leeds United supporters are furious after their clash on the eve of Christmas was rearranged for TV viewing. As they have done in each of the last two seasons, Sky Sports selected Villa’s home match against Leeds. In fact, all four of Villa’s clashes against Leeds in the past two seasons have been on TV with Sky keen to cash in on the two biggest fanbases in the Championship. This season’s Villa Park bout will now be played on Sunday, December 23 at 1:30pm - and supporters are raging at having to rearrange their Christmas schedules. Adam Clinton: “Sky TV is f***ing s***.” Guy Bradley: “F***. I have a 220 mile round trip, so not inconvenient at all…” Ben Gough: “Sky Sports Villa.” Patrick Fitzgerald: “The lack of 3pm kick offs on Saturday this season is annoying.” Alex Liddell: “Disgusting. Change it back!! Have already made Xmas plans and coming home from the US to watch this game. Cheers and thanks for ruining my trip.” Paul Craythorne: “Don't worry guys, if we ever make it back to the PL SKY won't be in the slightest bit interested in us.” Liz Britton: “Do none of you realise that people make plans in advance? Especially for the weekend before Christmas?! So inconsiderate to fans who are actually attending the match.” Leeds fans Helen Walker: “Now you know how we feel - can't remember the last time we had a Saturday 3pm KO.” Dan Corrigan: “Another weekend’s plans ruined, no consideration for the fans whatsoever, let’s hope the whole stadium sings the song. MOT.” Manraj Hayre: “They are ruining matchdays by changing KO times. People have work and they seem to just chop and change to whenever!” This is how much Villa and Leeds will make (hint £130k each) Colin Edwards: “Had already planned my entire Saturday on this game and then pick my eldest up for Christmas on the Sunday night on a six hour round trip....” George Cook: “So Sky has moved three more Leeds Utd matches over Christmas! Brilliant! What happens to mates coming in from overseas and can't change flights. Compensation?” Ryan Dobie: “Villa away moved to a Sunday, f***ing Sky Sports ruining football.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I’m pissed off about this. Knew it would be on Sky, but thought it would be a Friday night, or early/late Saturday KO. Was going to have it as our works piss up. Going around brum all day. Hate Sunday games, but at least there won’t be any work the following day.

PieFacE Posted November 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 16, 2018 Can imagine there's going to be a lot of "Sky TV, you're **** shit" chants during this game, from both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
