MH I don't want it both ways. I want to be able to support my team at the Stadium of Light, an experience we have been all eagerly anticipating since the start of the season.
Let's take your argument to it's logical conclusion. Suppose every away game Stanley played was re-arranged to a Friday night to suit Sky TV, making it almost impossible for fans to attend. Would that be acceptable?
Should we expect ordinary fans to sacrifice their loyalty in return for 30 pieces of silver?
Of course there will be some who will always attend. Unfortunately, I won't be one of them & I'm certain I won't be the only one who will find it impossible to make this game.
This is an away game we may only ever get one chance to experience.
Thanks Sky for ruining that experience for the majority of our fans.
