    Really pissed off by this, ruined a day out in Sheffield for four of us. Five out of six successive games moved for Sky’s fat lard arses who don’t actually go to matches. It would be good if there was a movement that sabotaged the Sky TV broadcasts, that would be so satisfying, I would join it!

    It's not the fault of the TV Companies. Their job is to sell subscriptions and advertising and live football does a great job for them.

    Next season you can add Amazon to the list showing live Prem games. 200 will be shown which is over half the matches. Where will it end?

    I may be in the minority - don't mind Friday games as it goes well with a few pints and more time at weekends with the kids. Saturday at 5.30 is a pain in the ass as it takes up the complete day and restricts what you can do in the evening!

    I hope this Friday is a MASSIVE improvement on the last time we were in this city!

    Morning 9, that reads as something of a contradiction on my end of the internet. Whilst acknowledging the mutually beneficial commercial aspects for clubs and TV companies, I'm a little nonplussed as to your logic. It's their job but it's not their fault those wishing to attend games in person are grossly inconvenienced?

    Hi. Don't understand what you don't understand.

    Football doesn't have to sell an ever increasing number of games it chooses to. It is only of benefit to the Premier League if the Premier League needs more money. Anyone care to argue that one?

    Football is actually devaluing its product. I think the actual price per match they are paying has actually decreased as the number shown has increased.

    Football should use take up the following negotiating stance. Greatly reduce the number of matches available to 2 a week and only have 1 package. Sky in particular would have to ensure they outbid everyone. Result good money for football and more Saturday football for the true fans.
