joeyt Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 We were never off the TV last time we were down there. I don't think we'll be as good to watch this time, in fairness. Second half of the season only like. That first half of the season was horrible to watch. Beating Ipswich 0-4 away was class. Agree the wins against Sheff Utd and Preston were very nervy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yeah, second half when Smith and Shola were fucked off/injured and Routledge was signed was much better on the eye. We had our TV moments early on, though. The Reading and Ipswich games come to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ah yeah, Reading at home was decent. 52,000 lightbulbs above heads, all thinking 'things might be alright actually' when Shola scored a hattrick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sky are a bunch of clowns, if they just featured us more they'd get better ratings and more viewership Nothing personal, Kanj, but I hate this attitude. It's why ESPN loves the Yankees and Red Sox, why we had a Big Four, why Barca and Real rake in spectacular TV deals etc etc. I'd much rather have the money spread out, and see each team shown an equal amount of times, even if it means having to endure Stoke v West Brom every once in a while. Sure, if they just featured Newcastle more, or had Man U on every week in the Premier League, then they'd get better ratings and more viewership. If you want that, then fine. Just don't complain when Man U then have an absolute shitpile of money, and spunk 100M a time on players. I hope that Sky have a similar deal to the old Premiership one, where every team gets shown a reasonable amount of times. More 3pm kick offs for the win.

I don't think we'll be as good to watch this time, in fairness. saw more matches via ESPN3 (online site) than ever in 1 season, was amazing.

Well, as a guy who lives all the way in Orlando FL, I'm speaking purely on a level of I don't get to see us play often in 2016 and I have to pay to listen to us play in 2016. So I really don't give a s*** about the other teams in the division and playing nice to them. The NBC TV Deal gets us every single match for the PL (and therefore access globally to anyone...) but this shit Sky deal doesn't really work globally, for anyone, so only those nearby and able to head to matches get to see us play. Even those in England who may not have the money to attend matches or travel up are made to suffer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I do agree with Leffe but surely we can be shown more than once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Haven't they got to show every league team across the course of the season? Once in 2 months is more than reasonable. Away fans not getting shat on week-in week-out makes a pleasant change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'll just continue my point that I want to see us play on TV, and I think most of the people out there who want to see us play on TV too near and far would prefer that and I really don't care about the argument leffe is making so I guess I'm just massively selfish. Anyway, Leffe, hope you enjoy watching Spurs week in and week out whenever you want, in full HD and on Demand on NBC and NBC Live Extra oh and Champions League on Fox, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports Go, Fox Sports Soccer On Demand website... I'll just hoy on a few pounds a month for NUFC TV online radio and listen to Mick Lowes and see us here and there and quietly accept that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 As a ST who needs to travel to SJP, I'm delighted none of our games have been moved. It's a pain in the arse trying to get there and back otherwise. Same with away games. However, I do have sympathy with our supporters who are unable to go to matches (for whatever reason) as I was previously in this position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Think Sky are saving our quota for the back end of the season. And if you look at our December games, I'm sure one,two or even three games to be chosen for Tv. Expect either or even both of the Forest games, likely to be the away one, the Burton away game will definitely be one and the Sheffield Wednesday Boxing Day games to be shown in December.

It's a pain in the arse trying to get there and back otherwise. Same with away games. However, I do have sympathy with our supporters who are unable to go to matches (for whatever reason) as I was previously in this position. I think in general. 3pm kicks offs are much better for the majority and for getting a good crowd in. When we were in the prem, a lot of people would regularly complain about Sky shifting games to awful times, Monday nights, etc. However, I was hoping we got a couple of Sunday games before Christmas. As I'm back playing now, I can't do Saturday games. So bar the next three that are on Sky, I'm going to have to make do with the 30 second highlight reels, SSN and the awful show on channel 5, as a way of following. First time in a long time, that I have been interested in the club. But we're in a shitty league, so it's hard to even watch us play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Marcelino's contract with Villarreal has been terminated, just a mere week before Villarreal's CL qualifier debut. Apparently it follows a row with key players and several disagreements with the board. He's a fantastic manager, but he seems to run into man management issues wherever he goes. I wish we hadn't appointed Lopetegui for Spain already... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Quite pissed off atm. Like to get to as many away games as I can with my dad (Doug) and my brother (Nikos34) but with them in the midlands and me in the smoke - the membership fee just isn't justifiable and home games aren't exactly easy. The idea of paying money to be allowed to pay money is bizarre and it's partly on principle, but it's really hard for me to see any games - especially this season. Drag.

About 35 pound. Not a lot I suppose but with saving for house/kids I can't justify it plus travel costs and the ticket prices themselves. Used to get to a lot in in the Midlands and the mid north when it was just general sale. Plus the idea of paying to be able to pay doesn't sit right. Might be just me.

Your prayers have been answered it seems... The club confirmed during the meeting that it will be making away tickets available on general sale for selected fixtures during this season following supporter requests. Season ticket holders and members will continue to enjoy priority access to all away match tickets as normal throughout the 2016/17 campaign, with demand expected to be extremely high for most fixtures. However, should away tickets not completely sell out during designated priority sale periods, the club will make them available to all fans where possible.
