    They do hate us, they want nothing more than for this to be a televised humiliation for us.

    Why should we be the only ones to suffer.
    Let the rest of the football watching population see what our disinterested owner and 4 litre Audi driving CEO have reduced us to.

    The game itself has only been moved by an extra 30 mins, it was scheduled originally for a 1pm kick off

    That 30 minutes makes a lot of difference if you are working or have to be somewhere else in the morning.

    I truly hate these early kick offs

    City team won't turn up... Just give Grimsby the 3 points now... Save everyone the embarrassment.

    Between 20-25% of our fixtures next season will be a 12:30 kick off.

    10 matches on 'standard' weekends, 5 from the Championship and 5 from Leagues 1 and 2 in total.

    On a 'standard' weekend 5 out of 24 League 1 and 2 matches, 5 will be shown, so approximately 1 in 5 matches will be switched. Whilst that will be around 20% of the matches on 'standard' weekends, the 14 or so midweek, international weekend and bank holiday matches will not be affected, so the impact will be to have around 15% of the 46 matches (6 or 7 matches in total) affected by the Sky deal.

    Eisa and Vernam attacking a system that goes backwards and don't know it's arse from it's elbow. What could possibly go wrong on national TV.

    Ukraine play England so with the earlier kick off we can watch both, rather than be sat waiting for the referee to blow his whistle after Grimsby score deep into injury time.
