Could Argyle v Exeter be live on Sky? Confirmed Mon 23

[PL2 3DQ]

Apparently the Grecian travel club is arranging a coach (coaches) for Monday evening.
It's looking like a 8pm kick-off Monday 23 March.

Oh ideal! :furious: Flying out on holiday at 0940 that morning. :facepalm:

Maybe the delay in an announcement is Argyle fighting back on a Monday evening game?

I guess if it’s not to be the early Saturday game it has to be the Monday night game as all the Exeter fans will be in church on Sunday.

No way will the police sanction a night time kick off after what happened in the JPT 2010. All the half wits come out to play under cover of darkness. More chance of Speedo Mick presenting the Premiership title to LFC. :crazy:

Why would we do that? It would be a cracking night under the lights with some extra income for being on Sky.

if Argyle don't want to change the K.O. who decides when the match is played if Sky want it changed ?

Clubs don't have much choice but police could get involved I guess...

But I'm sure sky will slap them down with the fact they show massive derby games in the evening all the time. What's so dangerous about this game in the evening?

It's dark in the park.
Spoons start serving at 9am.

Generally the number of idiots who are drawn to these games who think it's "cool"/"hard" to stand behind a Police partition and wave their arms around.

These idiots probably wouldn't work that day and instead spend the day in the pub fueling up for their moment of stupidity.

At least on a Saturday there's clear daylight for the police and fans to avoid those idiots, at night it's a bit harder.

I have flights booked for the family to come over and watch. Surely they can't move to a Monday at this late stage. We will be gutted.

From the EFL website:

"The minimum five week commitment remains in place for the majority of the season but the rolling basis period for matches taking place from 7 March onwards is to be shortened to four weeks’ public notice.

Selections for 21st March by 21st February."

Doesn’t matter when it’s played, idiots will be idiots. To be honest I Don’t see why people get so worked up by it, just walk past, get in your car and go home, simple. That’s what I do. Let the morons be morons, it has no bearing on my life. Most of them are all mouth anyway. Whatever day it’s on let’s fill home park and get right behind the team because they will need it, it’s going to be a very tough match.

Sky's dilemma for that weekend is that the four PL games they have scheduled (Fri night, Sat evening and two on Sunday) could yet all be postponed due to FA Cup commitments as it will be Quarter-Finals weekend.

EFL football could be Sky's only English matches that weekend and I am sure they will want to schedule their programming to the best of their advantage.

I was talking from Sky's perspective. They show derbies between bigger clubs than Argyle/Exeter in the evenings throughout the season.

If devon and cornwall police request no evening kick off then they will just think WTF it's only a 'Devon Expressway' derby not Lazio v Roma.

Club could well be worse off because of this - £30k from sky but can see it being a couple of thousand short of capacity on a Monday night when it is on the telly meaning more than that on lost ticket sales
