No one is holding a gun to your head and demanding you go to all the midweek aways.


I do want to go but because of the horrendous fixture list they have given us this season to make things difficult, I won't be able to go to some of them. For a normal fan, some Tuesday away games do not require needing to book the day off. For us this season however, every Tuesday away game requires the day being booked off and Sky have already switched Blackburn to a Friday on top of that. It isn't fair and we are being mistreated. You might be fine allowing the FA and Sky to cock up our season making it impossible for some of us to go on trips we were looking forward to such as visiting Rotherham's new ground, but I'm not.

Mate, a computer spits out those midweek fixtures. It's all pretty much random, and likely a by-product of us having to start the season away from home due to the super cup final

Thank you for your mature response. :sleepy2:

I hope you struggle to make one of these Tuesday away games. I'm sure you won't just be thinking "tough titties" then. :roll:

Pretty much random? This "random" computer has given us Brighton away on a Tuesday evening ever since they joined us in the Championship! Pretty much random, that's comedy gold that! :lol:

No I would be thinking "It's a shame I can't make this Tuesday night away games, however we have all these Saturday away games I could go to so I will attend them.

Tough f*cking titties that you can't get to every away game, I would love to be in Brazil watching the World Cup live, tough tits that I can't afford it.

It's not about what you can afford and what you can't afford. It's about having a fair, balanced selection of mid week away games to be able to choose from without having to travel ridiculous distances and use up extra annual leave, which the FA and Sky haven't given us.

Re: Blackburn Away on Sky, Make a big statement ?

We compete in an English league, which means travelling all sorts of distances across England. Deal with it.

Re: Blackburn Away on Sky, Make a big statement ?

I wish the World Cup was in Cardiff I really wanted to go, it's also so ignorant of them to have the games midweek, I want to go to every game without taking annual leave.

I think they should move Blackburn and all the Northern teams to the valleys, I wouldn't have to take annual leave then.

No I will not deal with it. I was lucky enough to be able to do every Premiership away game last season because the majority were on Saturday's. I will travel anywhere and if we had a few Tuesday away games a fair distance away this season, which I would have expected, that wouldn't be an issue. But having EVERY Tuesday away game a minimum of 3 hours away followed by Blackburn moving to a Friday is really taking the piss. For you to not be able to understand this point I'm making is baffling so on that note, this will be my final post in this thread.

If you pack your job in you won't have to use any of your annual leave. Problem solved
