Four games in a row on TV: Is this a 1st for CPFC?

CPFC - Man U on Wed 14th Dec (BT)
CPFC - Chelsea on Sat 17th Dec (Sky)
Watford - CPFC on Boxing Day (Sky)
Arsenal - CPFC on NYE (Sky)

As much as I like actually going to games (was at Leicester last week and got tickets for Man City, Swansea ( a ) and Southampton coming up), it'll be good to get some real value from my Sky and BT Sports subscriptions for once.

I don't ever remember Palace having four games in a row on TV ever before. I'm not sure many teams have achieved that actually.

Or maybe I just didn't notice?

Anyway, it's a sign that we're moving in the right direction methinks.

Last season, out here in canada, all 38 games were on TV, even the later stages of our cup run too. 40 matches on TV

 


This was once a quality forum....

Yes, of course. And in USA. Forgive me for overlooking our increasingly growing intercontinental appeal.

But I was talking about domestic TV here in the UK, where live games are relatively scarce and Palace are not exactly flavour of the month. Any month.

It just seemed worthy of comment to me.

It probably has something to do with the opposition as three of the four opponents are TV favourites

it think it's pretty poxy that four games in a row have been rescheduled for tv over Xmas. It certainly hasn't been done in the interest of season ticket holders or other attending fans.

Never is. In fairness it must be a nightmare being a proper Home and Away fan of one of the big clubs, pretty rare that they play Saturday 3pm.

 


The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Lets face it though at a time when all games will sell our regardless of it being on TV it will also mean those that cannot afford to go to the games because of xmas can still watch the games. I will be spending boxing day with family so glad i can watch the Watford game

Its worth remembering that some supporters, and I am ome of them greatly appreciate weeing he whole game.

I am registered blind and I have a season ticket and come whwn I can because of the atmosphere.

I listen to an " in house commentary" which is far superior to listening to a BBC Radio 5 commentary which Palace Player provide.

I find the fans are first class and always provide me with a helping or guiding hand if I have a difficult moment.

So I am looking forward to the TV coverage''

I don't think the toilets at Selhurst Park can take that kind of intensive use, can they?

Coventry away (last day of the season)
Sunderland home play off
Sunderland away play off (went to pens)
PO Final v West Ham at Cardiff Millennium stadium

I know what you were saying and it is great for you to be able to watch 4 in a row if so.
What i am saying is that no other club in north america had every game shown - not even man u. For some fluke reason we were live for every match. There was also a documentary on us and the over seas tour... plus new american owners... conspiracy?? maybe.. maybe not.

But let's be honest, look who we are against, we could be thumped by 3 and that's what they want - the watford game looks like a B match in comparison to other bigger clubs.
