09.04. 150 Blackburn - Birmingham
09.04. 150 Bolton - West Ham
09.04. 150 Chelsea - Wigan
09.04. 150 Manchester Utd - Fulham
09.04. 150 Sunderland - West Brom
09.04. 150 Tottenham - Stoke

So all off these games are on today yet none off them are on sky sports?

From a neutrals perspective why am i paying all this money not to watch the top teams play?

Because the fans who actually want to see their team KO at 3pm come first.

EVERY football match should be on a Saturday @ 3pm. Moving fixtures so they fit on TV FTL!

Yes but my point is that there is no match on at 3pm on sky...Surely they can put one on?

sky 1 and 2 is rugby but 3 is just full off crap

I dunno about you but Sky Sports for me isnt just about the football. I watch a lot of cricket, golf and NHL. Plus they sometimes have Indy Car racing too so I have never considered it to be a waste of money.

Broaden your horizons and enjoy some more sports other than football

Nope, they aren't allowed to air 3pm matches.

why is it illegal to show the 3pm games? Surely thats a kick in the face to the fans who perhaps cant afford to go to the games?

Because 3pm Prem games would impact lower league attendances. Alot of floating Prem fans go and watch their local team, so if the Prem game was at 3pm that fan probably would stay at home.

Those matches are selected at the start of the season and the teams are informed which games are televised. I think FM for this knowledge.

Better than no definition if you have Sky and can't watch the 3pm games at all...
