Play off semis - and Sky Sports good/bad

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Sky Sports ignore League 2 all season then dictate our play off matches are 7.45pm kick offs on a Saturday, Sunday and Thursday night. **** Sky, **** the TV cameras - no one watches it anyway so we are likely to be stuck in a northern town on a Sunday night for some token gesture TV coverage.

May 9th, 10th, 14th

It don't matter if it's 2am on a Monday night. We will still be there.

Hopefully we won't have to.

I'm actually quite pleased as it hopefully won't interfere too much with work for me - I'm due to work on the 10th till 2 p.m.!

Sure but if you are leaving Plymouth at 10pm on a Sunday night you will be wishing they hadn't taken your loyalty for granted.

[SUFCFANS]

personally, I love the idea of an evening match on a Saturday or Sunday.. Bring it on!

Knowing our luck we'll end up playing against Plymouth away in the second leg on a Thursday night!

I'm shackled by the trains - that is my issue. Was bad enough with the early start at Burton meaning the 1st train from London would get you to the ground 15 mins before KO if it ran smoothly

I'm in the same situation, just had a quick look, the last train leaving Plymouth to go to London (as a worst case scenario) is at 19:42. For Bury it's 20:22, meaning 2 out of the 3 other teams in the play-offs currently would be impossible by train to get back the same night if away in the second leg.

Sunday game is a 6.35 KO, not that it makes a huge amount of difference

[SHRIMPERPETER]

What are you all worrying about, we'll be up automatically wont we? :whistling:

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

At least we would be at home on the Thursday...

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

At least we would be at home on the Thursday...

Only if we finish 4th or 5th

I am away from the 13th until the weekend of the 23rd, so I will be missing the 2nd leg no matter what, and maybe even the final :angry:

Phew, just checked flights and we get back the early hours of Saturday. :thumbsup:

Just as well Sky are putting it on the tellybox then.

Praise be for Sky! :smile:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I'm very surprised both second legs are being played at the same time.

 

[Beefy]

I'm at Butlins that weekend. Stupid Butlins :(

 

[SUFC_Ross]

14th is my son's 3rd birthday, atleast if its the home leg I can swing that one!

 

[wakes123]

I'm very surprised both second legs are being played at the same time.

I don't get that. They're not doing that for League 1 or Championship , so what's different about league 2?

 

[wally4pm]

Beano weekend it is then. Agree that supporters are being shat on from a great height again. When will the League stand up for us? Still, if we win can you imagine the pub afterwards? What can possibly go wrong? Er. I'll get my coat........

It seems to be a common misconception that Sly have any interest in sport.

They (Sly) are interested in money and use the money from (gullible?) subscribers to dictate when matches should be played. Blame must also go to the Football League (and partly to S.U.F.C.) for putting the wishes of the subscribers ahead of the real fans who attend matches.

It seems that sitting in front of the telly is valued whilst paying money at the gate is taken for granted.

I would suggest cancelling the subscription for any Sly paying customers reading this. The sooner this odious organisation stops interfering in our game, the better in my view.
