midday on a Sunday, WTF !!! Sodding Sky !
 

Fixture Changes

Carlisle home game switch

Even if England are playing on the Saturday,crowd will still be bigger than will attend on the Friday evening.
 

Fixture Changes

I know we need the money but I reckon the crowd for the Wednesday game will be reduced from about 8,000+ to 6,000 if we're lucky.

Back of a fag packet figures....we will lose 3,000 off the crowd, paying an average of £25 (optimistically - inc in-ground spend)

- £75,000

What do we get from Sky ?

Around the same I would have thought...

I am sure someone can correct my coarse approximation of the figures...:sorted:

sunday at 12 suits me as unlikely to be able to make the sat game

The life of Rileylol

Moving the Sheffield Wednesday game to the Sunday is an absolute disaster for me. :( I deliberately book my holidays to run from Sunday to Friday and having checked for mid-week games to make sure I don't miss any Bees games whilst I'm away.

I didn't stop to think that some fixtures are often juggled around before the season starts and now I'm faced with two choices.

So fellow GPGers, what should I do ?

a) Fly out with my dearly beloved on the Sunday, hope I can find somewhere to watch the game on Sky and miss being at a home game for the first time in 20 years.

or

b) Rearrange my flight for the Sunday evening / Monday morning, persuade my dearly beloved to do the same or to fly out to Spain on the original flight on her own thus allowing me to go to the game but most likely incurring her incredible rage.

I wonder if this needs a poll..........

No question - option B! You can't ruin a record like every home game for 20 years when you've got this much time to re-arrange things :wave:

We're staying at my parents' timeshare so there are no accommodation costs. Unfortunately without this saving we wouldn't be going at all. :(

I would do option c) first: Check how many players Sheffield Wednesday, and indeed Brentford depending on transfers, are likely to have called up for internationals taking place on the same weekend before discussing it with said partner - wrath is coming one way or another with a) and b)

I like this option a lot. :sorted: :fingersandtoesfirmlycrossedsmilie:

Option (c) as outlined by WEB.

Otherwise option (b) no doubt at all.

Such a fantastic record of home attendance cannot be ruined by a little old trip to Espana.

I wonder if the club noticed that the switch of the Sheff Wed game, to Sun 5th Sept, sets up a clash with the Brentford Festival Event, in and around Boston Manor Park.

Did we get a choice, or do Sky / Football league issue us with an ultimatum ?

The Brentford Festival was another chance for the club to reach out and be involved in the local community. Not sure whether they had any plans to take part, but, I don't suppose they can now....

why not surely it will be a better time with it being a match day and with the cameras there its the full experience! and can advertise the festival at the game, if anyone interested they can still go there from 1.45pm its hardly late!

also i think you will find 90% of those going to the game wouldnt have been going to the fesival anyway, not as if the festival gets many there as it is, dont worry smiffy bees game wont effect it at all!

why dont you organise a footie thing in the morning for kids and give some free tickets to those who compete as an incentive?!

a fair point, but after 90 minutes of football, will match go-ers really want to struggle over to Boston Manor Park ?
...maybe they will, but who will tell them ?

Do you mean "me" or do you mean "BIAS", and anyway, shouldn't the club be interested in fostering community links, rather than me or BIAS...

mate i dont know what you do for bias and what bias does within the community with the club but thought it would be a good idea, that way some families will go to the festival in the morning see what its like and may want to go back after the game if any good, to make a day out of it, especially if the weather is nice.

but like i said i dont think anyone really going to game would effect the numbers. but with 6000 + at the game 1500 of those away fans so you got 4500+ extra people to tray and attract to the event.

you ask who will tell them, the club should adertise in match programmes from now untill the day! Could get the festival organisers to make a banner to put up at the ground! loads of options!!!

good luck


omg smiffy we didnt bicker on something lol

Is it worth the 30K sky money ?
We don't usually win and the gate receipts drop.
