Wondered if anyone knew when the TV games for December would be announced? I'm looking at going to West Ham away and stopping over for the night. Sods law, Sky will pick it for a Monday night kick off! I'm off work that week anyway so would still make the game if it was on the Monday. However, being a week before Christmas, I'm keen to sort out a hotel with a bit of advance. Thanks!
Yeah I'm thinking of this one too. It's my work Christmas party in London on the Thursday so might stay over on Friday too then go to the match. Or... I might go down a day earlier, go to Spuds away for our last game at WHL, then the party the day after. I'm torn here, what would everyone else do? And both is sadly unrealistic.
I'd expect it to be announced mid-late October. Looking at that round of fixtures, Everton Vs Liverpool and Man City Vs Arsenal are certain to be picked. West Brom Vs Man Utd and Crystal Palace Vs Chelsea look likely too. However, up to five games can be televised.
There's some good picks for games that weekend which may well see us overlooked. We're more likely to be televised against Man City on Boxing Day or Everton on New Year's Eve. Still, Sky do have a knack of kicking fans in the bollocks when it comes to distances to travel for a Friday or Monday night game so I shan't hold my breath! Just hope they don't pick it for the Friday night as I have no chance of leaving work and making it down in good time for the game. Predicament of the modern day fan being at the mercy of the TV companies!
Just checked fixtures. Given that we play Spuds on the Wednesday night and West Ham play Tuesday, I think we my have avoided a Friday night game at the very least.
I'm not playing until you ask me if there are any letters in my French Full Back 6 letters question...
I'm looking forward to watching the love amongst Hammers supporters the Stone Island and Forest Hill boys versus I love London and the Presecco ruffians
