Sunderland game - ko time changed as well

This has also been changed, ko time is now 5.15 and is being televised by Setanta

Sat Feb 2nd 2008 Liverpool v Sunderland   -  ko 5.15 pm (was 3pm)

The thing i dont get is , why do they have to change the time of kick-off just because its on TV?

Surely they can just televise it at 3 O Clock ?

I hate early / 5.15 kick-offs ........should be 3 or a night game , end off

Setanta Sport is a shocking channel, have you seen Setanta Sports News? Its possibly the worst piece of programming on Sky television. Given that there are over 800 channels including E! Entertainment, Hallmark and Horse and Country, its quite a feat.

They pay to the club to get to film the match, so They have the right to change the game's time.somehow, Ithink they think everyone want to see LiverpoolFC's match so they change the time so LivrpoolFC's match will not be at same time as Arsenal's or Manchester United's match, so all football fans in the world can see all the matchs that are most wanted, that's obvious! It's good for some people but It's bad for some people, better not complain!

 I assume the clubs must agree to these time changes, or it would not happen.One other thing do they take the supporters into consideration when making these changes.

I will complain because sky/setanta's monopoly on football is slowly chipping away at our footballing traditions and morals and its not right !

And I pay the club to watch the game , just like setanta pay to televise it .......why do they get priority ?

If they wish to televise it then do it when it was scheduled to kick-off in the first place
