First fixture change, away at Fleetwood, moved from a Saturday afternoon to a Monday night game.

Wonder how many Home games get changed....

I was hoping for Wimbledon away. Blackpool pubs will lose thousands

First 8 weeks of games here

The club will get some money for been on sky though

[vvm]

Do both clubs get any additional money for this or did Sky pay a flat rate to all clubs when the deal was made to take their pick of games whenever they like?

At least it's an away game and not a home game. With it being moved to a Monday that will definitely mean a reduced crowd and less gate money for Fleetwood. Wonder if they're compensated in any way for that?

It’s a flat rate and the only compensation is from the annual payment which is, iirc, about £300k higher than last year for L2 clubs.

I feel sorry for your travelling fans for that switch. Fleetwood on a Monday night is a different prospect to a Saturday awayday.

Thanks, you got away lightly with your away game at Carlsle having a Saturday lunchtime kick off

Aye, that would probably have been brought forward anyway. Let’s see what happens with the next round of meddling.

So in the past it cost us £10 to buy a video match pass for iFollow to watch an away match.

Under the new arrangementys with Sky+, it looks like a non-Sky subscriber like myself will have to pay £14.99 for a NOW TV Day Pass to watch a match.

The price of "progress" I suppose
