And yet another one. The Leeds United fans will be up in arms about this as well, remember them barracking Sky live on air a few weeks back?
(Warning for the younger or more delicate, the video contains strong language)
Now Villa v Leeds United, that had been fixed for a rare 3pm Saturday kick off on 22nd December has now been moved to 1.30pm on Sunday 23rd.
Usually this doesn’t impact me massively, I prefer 3pm but I’m a slave to Villa and go whenever. But at Christmas? Yes, I know, 6 weeks notice and all that has been kept to, but people do have families and Christmas arrangements.
Doesn’t matter to $ky though, it’s just about the money, it’s £ootball.
Next Saturday 3pm is Dec 15th!

I now can’t make this. I realise that’s tough luck, some who work Saturday now can, but it is so tiresome all these changes.
Makes no sense to me that, but I'm a different generation, we've £ pandered to the armchair and lost £ootball. 3pm Saturday was the time. #oldfashioned #miserablegit #modernfootballsucks ????

or just the different time slot on the Saturday.

I’m not the only one, our friends at avillafan.com also answered:
Loved this division at first but the kick off times and days are becoming a royal pain in the backside

As did Stefan who also can’t get to the games when they keep getting moved.
Prevents me getting to games.

I love Villa, but I really do hate modern football.
I’m not letting my family down just to keep $ky happy, so I now have a rare won’t attend (usually only miss when I have my operations!) which is a shame because this should be a great match.
TV Games coming up:
Villa v Birmingham City, – 12pm Sunday November 25 – on Sky Sports
Villa v Nottingham Forest, – 7:45pm Wednesday November 28 – Sky Sports (Red Button)
And then a couple of away games, the first one being miles away so no thought to the travelling fans:
Middlesbrough v Villa – 5:30pm Saturday, December 1 – Sky Sports
And the second being a recipe for disaster with the fans being able to drink all day, Blues is done at noon to save the drinking, but WBA are just as much rivals
West Brom v Villa – 8pm Friday December 7 – Sky Sports
Then the Villa v Leeds United as above on Sky Sports.
Hey ho, the game sold it’s soul a while back, I should be used to it really.
