Why we are having so few televised matches?Yes, Palace and Sheff Utd both Sat 3pm
Why we are having so few televised matches?
We always do ... TV companies keep more of our games for later half of season ... they have a quota they can show a team for max certain percentage of their coverage. They try and get the bottom half of the table early on so later they have the title races all live. If does seem more than usual, but that's every year. The way fixtures came out also dictates that ... we have had an easier run so all games were Sat 3pm, now next few are all big games so all on TV ...

Seems much more than ever this season, maybe as we’ve played more of the teams at bottom of league we’d be expected to beatWe always do ...

No, 26th January. The TV picks dates are on the calendar, P1 of this thread. Although they’re only a guide, not 100%.Any idea when March fixture dates are released? This side of Christmas?

Best time for football is 3pm Saturday.
Fuck tv audience
We'll only know end of December, after the CL R16 draw and when Feb TV picks get announced. That will certainly be on TV, so will move ... and CL R16 ties around it will decide if we play Sat or Sun (or Fri/Mon).Any idea when the Chelsea game 17 February gets a kick off time?

No news on Brentford being rearranged?
I'd have thought it suited everyone to do it before Christmas - maybe they are waiting for Toney to come back.
Won’t be this year now.
The only free midweek we’ve had was between United and Bournemouth and it would have had to have been on the Wednesday, when United were at home. Which is presumably why they didn’t consider it then.

Could have payed it midweek after the Sheffield game, only Carabao cup matches that midweek and FA Cup weekend after, would have been ideal.Won’t be this year now.

Yes the midweek after the Sheff game no problem,by the way Carabao cup games after the FA Cup weekend not before.Could have payed it midweek after the Sheffield game, only Carabao cup matches that midweek and FA Cup weekend after, would have been ideal.
I didn’t realise the Carabao games were not the midweek after the Xmas breaks howeverYes the midweek after the Sheff game no problem,by the way Carabao cup games after the FA Cup weekend not before.
I don’t think the mid week after the FA Cup would suit Brentford as that’s the week leading up to their mid winter break IE they don't play the weekend of the 13th/14th. Would have been ideal 2nd or 3rd January as we both play Saturday the 30th January.
Are there no replays for the FA Cup third round this season? If so that could really complicate the calendar.

FA cup 3rd round draw at 12.55 today.
Hoping for a home draw against an unfashionable side so that tickets are cheap and easy to get. :-D
