It'll be a full house and likely 6-pointer for automatic promotion. That's a poor excuse if the atmosphere's not red hot. We managed that with similar kick-off times against Exeter, Huddersfield and Norwich earlier this season. |  | |  |

It would, but this is the sharp end of the season, and we're strongly in contention for promotion. If we can't generate an atmosphere under those circumstances, then we don't deserve a good result. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

8 of our 23 home games this season at 3pm on a Saturday. Stinks. It'll only be 3 in 2026 until August at the earliest when we might be treated to the 4th. |  | |  |

Guess that means the match is live on TV so why else change date and time? |  | |  |

It is what it is though, until full boycotts happen then nothing will change. |  |

I watched the Ladies Euros final (when England beat Germany) on a gigantic screen above the open-deck swimming pool on our first cruise. There was probably a couple of thousand watching it. Quite an atmosphere. You'll be very lucky if they repeat that for the Boro game! |  | |  |

Unless I have misunderstood the Greater Anglia information. I'm sure someone will check this and report here. Does Mark Ashton know about this ? https://www.greateranglia.co.u [Post edited 19 Mar 19:03]

Unfortunately, they don’t give a flying fig about fans who actually attend games. It’s all about the TV audiences (I assume this has been moved for Sky and not the plod, which would make no sense). I hate Sky with a passion. They’re killing the game for real fans. Be that people having to travel the length of the country on a work night or at 5 am on a Sunday morning, or the obscene financial and therefore competitive inequality their model has delivered. Bunch of ****s (imvho ) |  |

Of course it's all about Sky's tv audiences, that's why they pay what they do for TV rights as offered by the EFL and voted for buy the EFL clubs. Why should Sky give a #### for the fans who attend? We're just the equivalent of a studio audience at a tv talent show. Only people to blame are the club owners/management who voted for the sky deal so they can pay the players etc more than they could without it. |  |
| Never forget that in April 2021, for ITFC, the Game Changed. |
