This is common in football. At the start, every single match is listed 3pm Saturday and a couple of midweeks etc. But it changes.

It can't be moved without Bt having to drop it. We'll see.

If I post on here that VM are launching a 4K, 8 tuner TiVo next month and it doesn't happen it's not there fault is it?

Yes but would that be
  1. A Rumour?
  2. or a CONFIRMED Rumour?

On football broadcasting I am never wrong, ever. Sorry but this is what I do and I spend my life watching football.
Do you have extra large door entrances in your house?

Yes it can, and will. They've won the rights to the match not the just the timeslot. Providing a timeslot is free which isn't clashing with a Sky game they can show it on saturday, sunday or monday night. end of.

Any fan of a Premier League team knows that matches are constantly shifted about. I guess you wouldn't know much about this stuff. but hey ho, welcome to the bigtime.

They can't show any on Friday night or Sunday, they have a certain number of Saturday 12.45 kick offs and a certain number of Monday/midweek matches. The Premier League rights are split in to various packs, and these dictate the weekday and kick off times that broadcasters are allowed to move matches to. If Spurs can't play at 1245 on Saturday 30th November then BT can't show the Spurs game that weekend, at all.

And yes, I am well aware that Premier League matches are regularly shifted - it's one of the many reasons I wish Palace weren't in it! Mod Edit: fans of so called big clubs is another ;)

In case anyone is confused by the editing. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35...-post2862.html

To be honest I couldn't care less about watching a bunch of over paid prima donna's dancing around a field looking ready to burst into tears if the get there hair messed up or their boots dirty.

So not fussed if it's not on xl make it a premium add on the same as the rest of the sports channel, it will give everyone the flexability to watch what ever spot they want to, rather watch some real sport where the player can set a good example for kids.

Never said they could play on a friday, did I.

Spurs will not play on the saturday, after playing Thursday in the europa. with 36 hours rest. It will not happen. I can think of one instance something like this happened and it was Chelsea playing the FA Cup semi final vs spurs 2 days before a CL game. And this was a one off situation due to us not being able to play on a specific date.

There is no precedence to the situation you are suggesting will happen, you will wind up seeing that i am right.

Mod Edit: fans of so called big teams eh. Yes my so called big team which has won the European Cup 5 times, the league 18 times, packs 95,000 into a stadium in Indonesia for a friendly, and is on telly 9 times in the first 13 games. :p:

so called :D LOL.
