Union FS Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 UNION FS STATEMENT ON LATE ARSENAL FIXTURE CHANGE Once again, Sky Sports have gone above and beyond in their efforts to put out matchgoing fans. No doubt they will point to the millions of fortunate souls now able to sit at home and watch this unlikely top of the table clash. Of course, the Arsenal game was not the only Leicester City fixture announced for the upcoming games. March's fixtures release includes changes to the game at Watford and at home to Newcastle too. Annoying, particularly for the Geordies who now have to travel to the East Midlands on a Monday night, but at least there are 53 days before that trip and tickets are not yet on sale for 'Pies fans. A clue above: the March TV fixtures release. Not the first-fortnight-of-February release. Following the initial February release in December, 3,000 Leicester fans had thought it safe to make non-refundable travel and accommodation plans, schedule time off work, stay up to midnight to fight for tickets that were sold out in minutes, book holidays starting on the Sunday, plan Leicester Sunday League fixtures etc (the list of quite frankly ridiculously unnecessary inconveniences goes on and on and on) before Sky decided to shoe-horn a third 'Super Sunday' fixture of the day in just TWENTY-THREE days before the game. Such is life that there are winners and losers from this move, but all of those losing out have been unfairly done over by Sky Sports and, by proxy, the lack of protection afforded to fans by the Premier League and its constituent clubs. It is absolutely imperative that football fans show solidarity in these cases, and as such, Union FS are calling for a show of strength against the aforementioned parties. We are proposing the following action to be taken by all Leicester City fans on the day: - 5 minute boycott at the start of the game where City fans remain in the concourse, watching the game on the TV monitors installed. Why? To make a point that without fans, there is no saleable product. Just 22 blokes kicking a ball around on some nicely cut grass. We would encourage Arsenal fans to join us with this, as they graciously did with Bayern Munich fans recently. We appreciate that fans want to watch the game they have paid for, and rightly so, but this is an extraordinary issue and we would ask you to join us and make a one-off stand for all football fans. - Banners of protest. We encourage all City fans to make their own feelings known in banner form ahead of the fixture, and smuggle these into the stadium. Clearly visuals are a good way of getting your point across but we recognise that these are not easy to get into stadiums. All efforts are appreciated, however. We close by saying all football fans are inconvenienced at times and it has sadly become part of our game. But in our opinion the actions of Sky Sports on this occasion have gone too far for us not to take action. Some may argue that a boycott will achieve nothing. You might be right, maybe it won't. But it will certainly notch another visual display of dissent in a country which is starting to turn on the Premier League's ever growing greed. Help us make a difference.

Izzy Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 I genuinely feel for you poor sods who now have to change your plans and pay for extra train tickets etc. - it's a fvckin disgrace really. And even if you do bite the bullett and still go, your day is ruined anyway by such a shite kick off time. These early kick off matches are always crap - I can't recall a decent one since Sky started doing this. No time to get pissed and get into the swing of it. Sky will bill it as some sort of 'top of the table super Sunday judgement day' bollux, and it will end up as a damp squib 0-0 draw cos no one can be arsed. Everyone loses for me. There's no winners here. Terrible decision and another example of the real fans getting shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Boos Up Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 My boss tagged me in on a VIP box ticket through a company supplier. Pre lunch an all. Now it's on valentines day, just heard I've been booted out and replaced by wags. I've been looking forward to that for months. I've only got to see Palace at home this season. They have offered me a seat in the Arsenal support as compensation but I don't fancy that on my own. Don't know what to do? Why can't we be shite like we used to? Sorry, I didn't mean that! But I've only got I don't know how to feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Sky will crash and burn and the prem will go up in flames if kodi boxes continue to enter people's homes the way they are and nothing can be done to stop it.

ianormondroyd Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Just spoke to Radio Leicester ... They sent me a tweet and I rang them in response. They will be running an article (and a feature on RL tomorrow) and they have contacted the Premier League for their opinion of it all. Apparently I'll be on the feature tomorrow Should be fun. They shafted me similarly with the replay, the BBC that is, I hope they don't get on the moral high horse about it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes1 Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Statement on the Arsenal website. Arsenal v Leicester CitySunday, February 14 (originally Saturday, February 13)Kick-off: 12.00pmLive on: SKY SPORTSThe Premier League usually seeks to give at least six weeks’ notice of changes to dates due to TV selections, however this is not always possible. We appreciate that this late fixture change will cause inconvenience to supporters but this decision is out of our control. Why didn't they stand up to Sky but I suppose like most clubs they haven't got the guts to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soar Fox Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Decision is out of their control. It's a shame both Leicester & Arsenal didn't agree to ignoring sky & leaving it on the Saturday as planned. What would they do deduct both teams points?
