Been moved to a Thursday night for SKY

What a load of rubbish that is for our travelling fans and the away supporters

Absolutely stinks changing from a Saturday game. Sky go away

Maybe they think it's going to be a relegation 6-pointer!

I said it was an awful Sky deal when it was announced this just confirms it IMO. Not only will this have a detrimental effect on the attendance. On a Saturday this game would comfortably attract a crowd of between 4800 to 5200 with Carlisle easily selling their allocation. We will be lucky to pull in 4,000 now. Add to that the effect it will have on the local economy. The pubs wont do half the trade on the Thursday night that would have done on the Saturday. Its an utter and complete shambles whatever way you look at it.

take the money from Sky you have to take game changes also.

Absolute garbage I'll have to take holidays now !

For EFL 2 clubs it was just £79k a season more than the previous deal. League 2 clubs and the fans were royally screwed over imo

Oh, ffs! I'd just put the time aside and made arrangements to get down for that.

The worst TV deal in the history of TV deals

Very poor this!

Would have been a cracking day at the ground and also so many local establishments loosing out!

Shame on you sky!

It's no fault of Sky. Its the fault of the EFL and all those that voted to accept such a deal.

A rendition from both sides on the night of "sky TV, is [SwearFilter] sh ite, sky TV is [SwearFilter] sh ite"

Could have moved to a 12pm kick off or a 5 pm kick off on a Saturday. Total [SwearFilter] take

I guess the corporate bookings will take a hammering as well….
Don’t be surprised at how many Barrovians will now sit at home or in a pub watching it.

Shocking - but SKY won’t give a toss.
