Couldn't agree more, Matt. Great post!

Another thing:  when I were a lad (!) I chose to play Sunday football, 'cos I didn't want to miss a Saturday match. But if I played these days I'd have to feign injury or miss an Albion match. There must be loads of lads with Season Tickets, who just can't get to The Match because of Friday/Sunday/Monday games being organised by f***ing Sky!
They won't be in any rush to renew. But that's even better for Sky, because these missing fans will subscribe to Sky instead.

On 18/12/2021 Middlesbrough play Bournemouth at the Riverside it is a 12.30 kick off Away fans based in Weymouth the coach picks them up at 1.15am and Bournemouth fans the coach departs at 3 am how is this acceptable ? Football fans again being shat on

We had similar when we had to play our play off semi down there a few years ago. Dinner time kick off. Set off about 6 in the morning.

But that was for a play off match. Pre set times and all that. This for a league game is just ridiculous. Fans are the last consideration.
