£60K for a Thurs/ Fri/ Sat night game is not enough.
We took 1400 to Reading and normally take 3000. Reading must have lost £50K in receipts plus their own walk up.
I think the away team gets paid a lot lot less

Does anyone know how much you get a season from from Sky /Skybet - based on say a 10th place finish?

Disappointing. Understand the extra revenue for the club is important (although Evans unlikely to reinvest it), but yet another night game on a work day isn't great for a season ticket holder like me who has to travel miles for a home game. Easy to plan for when fixtures released but not when they change dates part way through the season. Probably won't be able to make this one now.

.......... and another typical Sky performance from ITFC - no doubt.

But - there's always a hope of a 'first' decent performance in front of the cameras........ don't hold the breath on that one though.

........ essex57 - reality check, shows how much consideration 'dedicated to the point of distortion' people like you are actually dealt.

You won't like this - but - you're there when it suits them, for you to be so.

You'll see the light - eventually.

Well that's cost the club around 10 tickets at least as my mates and I had this down as our Xmas jolly.. Few town fans and a few boro.. Unfortunately sky do not care about the fans! Boro would ave taken 1500+ on the Saturday.. Now I reckon the number will be half that! Cr@p atmosphere.. Limited public transport.. Rush for fans after work/half day off.. Cheers sky NOT!!

I've also already committed to something on that day now, so another game I'll have to miss. Perhaps Sky could refund season tickets holders for games they have to miss when they're changed.

These fri night games are now starting to get on my nerves.no holiday left so won't be able to go.getting to the point that it's not worth having a season ticket as I'm gone end up paying money for something I can't see.wake up itfc and sky and start giving a dam about the fans that go to football before we all end up watching on TV because paying to go will not be a viable option.

I feel for the Boro fans and those Town fans that have to travela long way to get to PR.

Blueboy81 i don't know what I find more obnoxious your comments or sky sports attitude to supporters perhaps I shall call it a dead heat.

Agree with scooby i work late shifts i had planned all my holiday out this year.If sky are calling games from Saturdays no point having a season ticket just as well get a silver card and pick the games you want to see, a complete sell out for the fans sky have ruined football for the genuine fans.

A game I cannot attend either. I was furious when I read it had been changed. Why are we now getting Friday night games? Why can't the game be moved to a 12.30 fixture on the Saturday? Yes it would mean an earlier start for travellers but at least it would not interfere too badly with plans you have made and are committed to. Why can't 3pm Saturday games be shown on Sky? Mind you, my other half's team have just had one of their fixtures moved to a Thursday night. It's getting ridiculous and I agree with other comments how Sky is ruining it for the normal fan.

And we are only on TV 6 days before (at Charlton). See that one has been moved to a 12.30 Sat kickoff - why could this one not be?

Sky = Evil, killed a lot of quality television in my view and made a lot of people particularly in football unnecessarily rich.

I must be the only one who prefers Friday night - in fact I would like all home games to be Friday night. The atmosphere is always better under lights and it leaves the whole weekend to do family things - or even take a local game somewhere.....

This is all my fault. I wrote a couple of sarcy letters to SKY a year ago questioning why we were never on TV whereas Leicester (remember them?) were never off it. Now they won't stop showing us!

Only way to stop this sort of thing is a mass supporter stay-away from the game. That would be rather embarrassing for Sky. So why dont we grow some and do it?
