Goodison derby moved for TV

Why can't they make their minds up a month earlier? Even my one and only 'home/away' game at Watford last Saturday was moved to 5:30 for TV. I just hope BT subscribers think they got their money's worth!

At least all us London-area Toffees should be home earlier from the derby, just in time for MotD probably (and I don't think we'll be last on for that one).

It's currently legislation in this country for the RS to play the 2nd leg of any cup tie at Anfield. That could well mean their 1st (away) leg against the weakest team left in the tournament being played on Tuesday 10th April.

Not enough rest you see for our media darling neighbours. We could well be looking at a derby during one of the upcoming FA Cup weekends.

Dontcha just love being a proper fan in 'the best league in world'?

I won't pay for Sky Sports. They are the reason I gave up my season ticket. That was after going from September to Xmas without a Saturday 3PM kick off about 16 years ago. I am told to live with it and get real. But this is an issue.

We used to get the fixtures in July and plan our weekends away around them. The league should make it plain that any games to be moved from the published date and time must have a minimum notice period. I suggest for pre-Xmas games this could be before the season starts. Post Xmas when the league is shaping up, one month. And whilst on the subject. Monday night has never been part of a weekend.

Whilst on the money men issue. Change kits. I know why teams wear change kits, and it isn't to avoid clashes. It is purely to encourage gullible fans to buy over priced replicas.

Fans need to stop playing their game. Watford's kit doesn't clash with any other in the league, but they change to red for most away games. We played in a change kit at Bournemouth ffs.

As long as fans buy into the gravy train, the clubs, the league, TV companies will treat those who actually go to games as mere customers to be fleeced.

The one that really pissed me off was at the end of last season where the Watford game was moved to a Friday night so they could have Chelsea on the Monday live winning the league. I only found out when phoning the box office to book the tickets for me and my three lads.

We couldn't go as a result as we're 200 miles away and inconveniences such as school and work got in the way. I'd love to see fans genuinely boycott a game so there was zero atmosphere. See how the knobheads at Sky like that!

Spot on, Martin Reppion – I'm still likely to renew my season ticket but won't have Sky in the house and I regularly get into trouble on here for bad-mouthing the fools parted every season from their hard-earned cash by the club's merchandising of yet another kit.

I don't agree or even like what they've done but I think it's a little naive to think this game wouldn't be switched for TV.

Guaranteed plenty of goals!

20,000 Dortmund fans boycotted their Monday night game.

Frankfurt bombarded the pitch with thousands of tennis balls before and during their game v Leipzig on a Monday night disrupting the coverage of the live game.

What will we do? Nothing.

Think it would be early Saturday (7th) – I don't think there's a televised game on at that time as yet. Can't be Monday night, obviously

Can anyone shed any light on this?

They're in the top 4 mix and this is a derby; so no way it wasn't going to be moved from 15:00 on Saturday which is blacked out in the UK.

Only someone deluded would believe this derby would still take place at 3pm on a Saturday. That timeslot for big games is long gone.

We've not had a 3pm Saturday derby since the 0-0 at Anfield in January 2004.

Plenty for twenty? I don't travel to away games at the minute, but I believe these Man Utd protests got the price for an away ticket down to thirty pounds. Great, until loads of clubs reduced the away capacity, because they can charge more in the home end.

Everton should be on the phone to Sky to tell them that they are not prepared to move this fixture again because they don't want to inconvenience their fans, unless Sky say that the game can be played early on the Saturday, which gives everyone time to make travel arrangements safe in the knowledge that is 100% when this fixture will definitely take place.

We don't do what the big clubs do. We do as we are told.

We rarely win it. Rarely play well. Always crap ourselves instead of playing football.

We're too weak, too slow and too boring. I hate the old thing and would rather hand over the points than suffer the continual hurt and pain.

Roll on the European Super League when the Sky Six leave for good... maybe then real footy fans will finally get the game they have always loved back.

At a guess, it could happen after the Qatar World Cup... It would be the optimum time for the Sky big boys to leave the Premier League with all the disruption that tournament will no doubt cause.

Go on the Echo website and read the comments because Newcastle fans are suggesting Liverpool should reimburse their fans who can't make it to the game tomorrow because of the weather.

There is very rarely solidarity in this country mate, and I don't need to tell you because you already know that it's just not politically correct!
