Given that they only gave you a month's notice in the first place there will be people potentially who had original trains that then needed to change, and now have a second set of trains that need to change as well. And EMR into Sheffield are one of those that don't do refunds, despite Covid. LNER on the adjacent line refund you no questions asked atm. |
I managed to convince my Mrs and inlaws to drive up from Wycombe Friday with my son who is not even a month old for a two night stay in York.
Hotels crazy prices being valentines weekend, have Train, Viking and Air museums all planned with me and the father in law leaving at 5pm and getting last back to York arriving midnight.
Now I have to replan and rejig everything because of Sky and Barnsley but more importantly my own club letting me down! |  | | |

FFS I shall be formally complaining to the club as this will cost me another 50 quid on the train journey and cost of a hotel room unused | | | |

Not sure if I've missed something but surely the club are powerless here, so also blameless? | |

Maybe so but they can at least explain why its been changed again and that they sympathise with the fans being mucked around | | | |

I've Tweeted them. Is it because they now want to show Middlesbrough Derby instead? Or some other match that's now more interesting... |  | | |

Just because Sky no longer want to show the game doesn't mean it automatically has to return to a 3pm kick off does it so they have to share some of the blame Shirley? | | | |

Yes be interesting to see the reasoning. Time change announcement same time as new date for Millwall game. Could the club have complained about wall game being so close? Or is it sky being dicks | | | |

Fair points RangersW12 and Denham. I hadn't considered either point.
Guess we'll find out more in time. | |

This is scandalous, people have booked trains, hotels and various other things planned around this original fa*k up |
Maybe somebody at Sky had a rethink and thought Barnsley vs QPR @ 8pm on a Saturday night wasn't a big draw. You wouldn't have had to take your socks off to count the audience. |  |

Have sky ever done this before? If not then it needs to be protested vehemently by the affected parties and all the clubs. It mustn't set a precedent.
I can't believe they have the power to change their mind after moving a game. | | | |

It's the Millwall thing as I understand it. QPR refused to wear a Tuesday game if they weren't getting back until the early hours of Sunday morning. |  | | |

Thanks had a feeling this might be the case MW been vocal about scheduling. But you got to ask why Sky moved the game to a 8pm Saturday night in the first place. Feel for anyone with train tickets hotels booked etc. | | | |

What was wrong with moving the Millwall game to the Wednesday? | | | |

Well they're away at Blackburn on the Saturday so they maybe wouldn't wear that the other way.
Or the police didn't want it on Wednesday for some reason. | | | |

The second point is possible but for the first, it isn't unusual to be at home on a Wednesday night and away on a Saturday. It would still leave two clear days in between and the Saturday match is a three o'clock. | | | |

I'm very much behind the club in taking this stance. Anything that may be of help to us on the pitch has my backing.
I appreciate that I might have a different view if I'd purchased train tickets or booked a hotel for the night, but I'm sure we will now have far more support for this game than if it had stayed as 8.00pm kick off.
Of course, ideally, it wouldn't have been moved in the first place. | | | |
