I was at the Eastleigh v Reading game and the draw was made before kick off so they knew they had Newport away. It’s utter bollocks and one of the many little things that combine to one big thing that football is being ruined by people who haven’t got a phucking clue. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I agree with you totally, it is all about capturing the TV audience rather than the old days when it was done on a Monday lunchtime | ![](/images/avatars/1032.gif) |

Which in itself is a f*cking pisstake. Moving a game between two second division teams to a TV kick off so some plastic on the other side of the world can watch it. Absolute bollocks, they should keep the majority of games at saturday at 3pm and if the telly clappers want to tune in they can change their schedule around instead. | ![](/images/avatars/13008.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Very well said sir - and as for the Final, it should be 3pm Saturday, no debate, no concessions, end of story. If the KO time doesn't suit the overseas couch potatoes, tough... | ![](/images/avatars/29611.gif) |

Absolutely right FT, the Cup Final must be the last game of the season without question. As you rightly say, Sky can stuff their Super Sunday where the sun has never shone… And another thing - thinking back a month to Boxing Day, the Sky bar stewards have now totally wrecked another one of our football traditions, the Boxing Day fixture where all the top flight teams and everyone else in ‘The 92’ play on the same day. Yes, they have been chipping away at it for a few years now by moving some games to the 27th for live broadcast but on Boxing Day 2023 we hit a new low with just 5/10 PL games on the day so half the Division’s fans denied seeing their team play a traditional Boxing Day game - yet again, thanks to Sky. In 2019 it was still 9/10 on Boxing Day - 5 years down the road it is a new low of 5/10. The reason will be the extra money for extra games covered - still unacceptable when they fc uk about with traditions. | ![](/images/avatars/29611.gif) |

5th round cup draw. on 20:36 - Jan 27 with 2218 views | ericofarabia | I'm sure the Cup Final is the week after the final PL game this season, but FA and EFL don't appear to have talked to each other as The Cup Final is 25th and Play Off Final is on the 26th. Could be a busy weekend for us, Leeds, or Leicester 😲 | ![](/images/avatars/1942.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That’s so weird. It’s certainly not on TV anywhere in Germany. God knows where it is being shown and why. | ![](/images/avatars/1706.gif) |
