Been watching City since I was eight years old and sixteen years later, I'm finally coming to see a game at the Etihad this year. Thing is, I'm trying to book the plane tickets as soon in advance as I can. My question is: how much does Sky change the fixtures? I've never had much reason to pay attention since I haven't been able to attend. Would this be mainly switching kickoff times and switching between Saturday and Sunday? Or will they be moved by several days?
Fairly often mate. As stated they're apparantley due to release their first set of changes on 8th July, this normally covers the period up to the end of November (I think). Come November time they will release another load of chages covered up until February or so,thereafter the last load of changes will be announced.
Someone else may be able to clarify better but im sure that's right enough.
Expect a load of our fixtures to be Sunday fixtures, they normally are
If it is Everton at home you are coming too, most probably will be Sunday or Monday as have a Champions League game mid-week before.

Someone said 8th July earlier in the thread. I'd imagine ours will be moved, just hope it's a Saturday 5:30 for ale purposes.
Ours has the potential to be the Monday night fixture imo. Hope not though.

With BT having the first picks our first game against the toon could be a 12.45pm kick off on the saturday as no other games really stand out. I can live with that - don't want the Monday night slot either!
If I were a neutral scheduler I'd be moving our game and United's but the most attractive game would probably be Crystal Palace v Spurs.Troubadour said:ayrshire_blue said:Solihull Samba Boys said:Someone said 8th July earlier in the thread.

This fixture also clashes with the League Cup Final (2nd March).Matty said:Typical.
The one day, the ONE DAY, I knew I had something on (a wedding, so out all day) and they put the derby on that day (away one, 1st March). My only hope now is Sky or BT move the fixture to the Sunday or Monday. If they just put it as an early Saturday kick-off then I'm screwed!

Thanks for this will have a dig.
Shame City's webcal feed is a bit crap
Shows no events in iOS calendar (although I think this is a bug in iOS)
BST events an hour out (eg. 4pm KO)
BST events are an hour out (for Google calendar and iOS calendar) for the Sky Sports one too!

Hi. We're working on fixing the times. They should auto-correct in your calendar when the changes have been made.
