2015/16 Premier League Fixtures

[chef]

Were there? I didn't think they'd done Friday nights in the PL? The championship definitely do.

Yeah, I don't remember any. Championship and maybe a FA Cup here and there.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

The match will be played on 14 August because of "unique circumstances" and televised live on Sky Sports.

West Midlands Police rejected a Saturday match because of an English Defence League march, and United are in Champions League action the following week, ruling out Sunday, 16 August.

Friday night football is part of the new TV deal for the 2016-17 season.

Dozens of Premier League games have been played on a Friday - the majority on Good Friday or Boxing Day, although a handful have been played at other times of the year.

Before that, the BBC televised top-flight matches live on a Friday night between 1983 and 1985.

The Premier League said the Friday night match was a "one-off" for this season.

Up to 10 Friday night Premier League matches will be broadcast live from 2016-17 as a result of the latest rights deal, agreed in February, which runs until the end of the 2018-19 season.

That has more to do with English viewers than us. Friday night, monday night, saturday arvo, doesnt really matter. Every game. Live on Foxtel.

 

[Sozabarus]

We played Newcastle on a friday night a few years ago but it's pretty rare.

It will become a regular thing starting next season though as part of the new broadcast rights. I reckon it'd be pretty good, works great for footy so don't see how it'd be any different over there.

 

[SM]

Yeah outside of Public Holidays don't think it's happened much lately if at all.

Clubs gets more money the more often they're on British TV

Friday night footy in England comes with greater risk of drunkenness/violence. Surprised the police have allowed it to be honest.

 

[BlueBen]

Surprised that our game at Old Trafford is a 5.30pm KO in the UK. Usually those games are much earlier in the day.

Yeah im aware of that, I just meant it doesnt matter for viewing purposes in Australia.

Tipping no Tyne-Wear derbies in this timeslot, that's for certain.

[jd2010]

Not sure how that affects us.

Will affect what time & day it's on in Australia still

 

[SM]

Not sure how that affects us.

It's so when it gets to that week you aren't surprised when Arsenal are the Monday night game.

 

[Cruyff14]

After the Liverpool match we are the early Saturday game

 

[Zidane98]

We've got far foo many Mon night games for my liking.

 

[Jatz]

We've got far foo many Mon night games for my liking.

Don't make the Europa spots. It's designed to help you but it sucks as a timeslot.

 

[jd2010]

There wasn't a single one on the list for Oct & Nov? Or did you mean Sunday (local KO time)?

 

[Zidane98]

Don't make the Europa spots. It's designed to help you but it sucks as a timeslot.

We tried our best not to make Europa league against Stoke last round of the season

Villa didn't help us out either
