The way they're being treated is appalling, and they are very far from being alone in that.
Our union negotiations got us a pay rise roughly in line with inflation in April and it's funny how lucky we feel, and other tell us we are, when it's really just what everyone should be getting. After years of cut backs and pay rises that weren't up to standard, it's probably only a calculation from the org that us going on strike would undermine its editorial line (and maybe shrivel up some of those donations that have finally made it profit-making). We're lucky to have that kind of leverage and I hope these strikes make all these orgs realise they have something to lose as well.
Just had a quick look at the fixtures am I right in thinking we aren't going to play on a Saturday @ 3pm until November 12 v Leicester City and that still might be moved for tv?
PLF, I believe that number is only going to increase as our next four are all on Sunday including this week. Our next Premier League match not on a Sunday is against Wolves but that is @ 5.30 on October 1 for Sky.
We have currently played 13 consecutive Sundays. Villa will make it 14. Then we play Spurs in a midweek round of matches followed by a further 3 Sundays.
It's was scheduled to be on Sky on the Sunday so it will be interesting to see how they get around this. The evening match on Saturday involves Manchester City who are due to play the following Tuesday night like Chelsea.
Chelsea away to Dinamo Zagreb 5:45pm on Tuesday 6th.
Spurs v Fulham, Brentford v Leeds, Millwall v Cardiff and Orient v Tranmere all 3pm kick offs so the Met is going to have a busy afternoon next Saturday
Everton v Liverpool 12:30pm BT Sport and Villa v City 5:30pm Sky
What's the betting we're going to be pushed to 8pm so Sky can still show it live?
Has anybody received their email for the spurs game? I haven't received mine yet and the brighton game is still showing in my apple wallet. Last thing i want to do is phone the club.
