    Stand up id you hate Sky Sport

    Wouldn't you just know it....... the away game at the Copse has been moved to Monday night, February 25th at 19:45

    I think we have to get together with the Tree Huggers and do a long anti Sky chant withour any swearing in it so they have no excuse for replacing the live sound with "generic" crowd noise. Maybe a chorus of "stand up if you hate Sky Sports"

    This particular move does mean that I might fly over to catch the match as I was unable to make the Saturday or Sunday due to, respectively, DJing and 65th birthday commitments. Despite that, I still think it sucks. Some will have flights and hotels booked which they now can't change and not everybody is in a position to extend their stay by 2 days as we did for the home game. Plus those on shift work. Not good at all.

    When was the last time this game wasn't moved for Sky? It's about time the EFL & Sky worked together to sort these particular fixtures out before release, it's hardly a mid-season surprise that it's a high demand game.

    Do it at the season start would be a great idea. Saturday 1230 or 1730 is one thing. Even a Sunday lunchtime kick off suits most. Monday or Friday at 1945 scuttles many, especially ex pats and shift workers.

    I have always hated Sky Sports for crimes against football, in terms of destroying the integrity of the game by pumping excessive money into the premier league (and some into the championship I grant). This, to be honest, changing a few game days and times around is small change compared to the bigger crime. But he who pays the piper calls the tune, and you must be used to it by now, my cloggie friend.

    This particular change actually opens up an opportunity for me to attend the game which wasn't there beforehand. Still against it though.

    I started a similar thread on a Tree Huggers forum and was supported by just about all of the red dogs who replied.

    One, however, had to ask the question....... Do I shag sheep?

    My response was..... We know what we are, we know what we a-a-are.......
