    The away match against Salford on 1st March has been moved to 12:30 for Sky Sports+ coverage.
    https://www.efl.com/news/2025/january/31/see-the-latest-sky-sports-tv-selections/

    Sky are now confirming the matches selected on a weekly basis so basically they are working a month behind games. If we continue to do well I can see a few more matches being moved at a later date, the last away game of the season against Doncaster looks to be an obvious one but we won't find out about that one until the end of March.

    Is it likely that the game will only be moved to 12.30 or are there other time slots we could see our games moved to, especially if we are 3rd and 4th come the last week of April?

    The most likely timeslot is Saturday 12:30 but a possibility that it could be a Thursday or Monday, this this round Sky have got a game in each slot. Realistically due to midweek games there's only 4 Saturday games that could be at risk - Tranmere (H), Colchester (H), Stanley (A)(Thursday only), Swindon (A). The 2 games over easter could be moved as well as they could both be big games.
    I make it that we've been on Sky 11 times and we are currently scheduled to be on 6 more times (excluding the 2 rearranged games). If the rearranged games and EFL Trophy/Cup games don't count towards the 20 game minimum then we will have at least 3 more games moved.

    I don't like these games being moved to 12.30 but as one off fair enough...

    Far too many already... It can get in the bin for me and it can still be on sky plus at 3pm and let the public watch if they want too.

    This is another away fixture that normally sells out quickly, especially the seats, but I’ve just seen there are still seating tickets available.
    Are people tightening their belts or is it the TV effecting attendances.

    Most of time within 1 hour of going to ST holders Salford is sold out. The fact it hasn't today is down to be on TV.

    It's always been one of the games where it's a fight for tickets.

    Early kick off is a factor too.

    It will sell out, so I don't know why it matters how quickly it does. There have been times in the past when away tickets have been put on sale very late; I'd be interested to see when tickets for previous Salford games were open to season ticket holders because I'd bet there was a lot less time before the actual game than there currently is. This game isn't until the start of March, people will be focused on buying tickets for other away games first.

    A quick search on the City website shows that you were very wrong @HaworthBantam99@HaworthBantam99

    https://www.bradfordcityafc.com/news/2024/april/pay-on-the-day-walsall-v-city1/

    The match went to general sale, so it went completely past the general window for season tickets. It hadn't even sold out 4 days before the game, and there is no reference to a sell-out on the site. So I'm not sure you are expecting it to have sold out over 3 weeks before the game, with two and potentially three away games before it.
