That is ITK.

I reckon we will have a good chance of being the Friday night game if we get one of the big boys at home first.

To be fair Joey is ITK.

I'm still surprised that nobody seemed to spot him literally spelling out Kioso's name in the transfer rumours thread about 2 weeks ago, before he had been mentioned anywhere else.
 
Bit of a weird post but I was looking at what day's holiday I need to book for the season ahead, And it struck me just how many of the first games of the season are against teams that have been in League 1 and 2 with us over the last 14 years, whereas after Christmas kind of time it is mostly teams we havent played in the league in recent times

I make it 11 of the last 14 away games being teams we havent played in the league since our return to the football league

Whereas just 2 of our first 9 away are at teams we haven't been in the same league as in the last 14 years

Pretty pointless observation but a pretty weird coincidence I thought

Means a lot of us won't be visiting many new grounds for the first few months

The games from 8 March onwards are where you only 4 weeks notice of Sky moving them for tv. So could make Hull, Norwich etc more expensive if wanting to pre-book a train. Or if they get moved as well.

Why is there a 5 day gap between saving your seat and being able to move your seat? Very annoying if true.

So will Sky announce exact dates/times for the first half season tomorrow? They said within 7 days of fixture release, so unless they do it first thing Wednesday, it has to be tomorrow.

It's to the end of September that should be released within 7 days.

Then before the start of the season, they'll announce those up to FA Cup 3rd Round weekend (11th Jan)

Sky are getting very close to missing their own deadline. The plenty of notice thing was all a load of waffle to placate fans.

Within 7 days typically means at some point during the 7-day period, counting the first day as the 1st day and the last day as the 7th day. In this context, there are 7 days in total, and the counting starts from the first day.

Fixtures released last Wednesday is Day 1, so Day 7 is today (Tuesday) - they said "within" 7 days, so if they stick to the terms of the deal the exact dates/times for fixtures until Burnley on 28th September should be announced by 11:59pm tonight.
 
I saw another club possibly Derby made a post that all midweek games and first and last games would be televised. Which meant something like 10 of the 20, so only 10 left to get moved around.

Correct - our 9 x League Fixtures scheduled midweek on Tuesday/Weekend are already confirmed to be televised, along with the 4 x Bank Holiday fixtures and 2 x 1st and last games.

So 15 games already confirmed to be televised (kick-offs times could still change though), with up to 9 x Weekend League games currently scheduled on Saturday's to be televised on Sky Sports as well.

Pompey have had their TV games confirmed:

The paper has just listed them based on midweek and bank hol known games. It's not the full Sky confirmation.

"While Pompey wait to see which games could be moved, 16 of their upcoming games can already be determined due to the automatic live coverage for midweek and bank holiday games."

Derby newspaper done the same piece - https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-fixtures-tv-games-9372662

Ah, I see. Didn't know all midweek games are on sky. Not great for stadium attendances.

Championship midweek games have always been available by Sky Red Button (ifollow style single camera etc) any way even prior to this new TV deal.
I think the new deal will bring more midweek games that have proper coverage i.e. with studio pundits etc.

They have missed it. You'd think they'd at least stick to the first deadline to reassure people.

We'll be given less than four weeks notice in Spring, they've got plenty of form for missing deadlines and messing match going supporters about. I usually watch plenty of iFollow games but Sky aren't getting a penny from me.

They're definitely out today - just asked someone who works at the EFL.

Fine, but why phrase it as "within" 7 days. They should've either said "around one week" or given today's date.

Their next deadline is just as vague:
  • Before the start of the season, selections shall be made in respect of all matches scheduled to be played prior to the end of the third round of the FA Cup (January 2024).
They should give a date and a time, just like fixture releases, cup draws, etc.
