Swapping this game twice is a disgrace on Fans. Most home fans should be ok, although my plans have been messed around twice now this day, but I should just about make the game still, although I’ll miss the kick-off now. But the main issue is for QPR fans! Some will have paid for a train, then swapped it / paid more for another one, some might also be in hotels now, I can’t believe it’s been swapped back. Fans are treated bad enough as it is by sky, but this is a joke!
Is it 3pm or 8pm??? This Newsbot thread says changed to 3pm kickoff - but... Today BFC fixtures list says 8pm kickoff. Today Sky Sports still says showing live at 8pm. You would have thought it was enough time to alter BFC and Sky listings, so has it gone back to 8?
QPR CEO Lee Hoos said: “We fully appreciate the change in kick-off time from 3pm to 8pm and now back to 3pm has caused issues for a number of supporters. “I would like to apologise to fans for the inconvenience caused and clarify the reasons for the change back to 3pm. “Due to our postponed away fixture with Millwall being rescheduled for Tuesday 15th February, we as a club were concerned by the very limited recovery time available for the squad. “Travelling back from Barnsley after an 8pm fixture to arrive home in the early hours of Sunday morning before visiting Millwall on Tuesday presented a significant issue. “We raised this matter with the EFL who understood our concerns and worked with Sky to resolve the issue. “I would like to thank both the EFL and Sky for their assistance in changing the Barnsley kick-off time back to 3pm at the request of QPR.
So we had no choice in the matter even though we would be losing the TV revenue. Our opponents can just decide with the EFL what happens away from their own ground.
So they couldn't have rearranged the Millwall game for the Wednesday? Does losing a Sky game (again) cost us money?
