Are We On Sky Soon?

[grecIAN Harris]

I was just looking through our fixtures for the next month, I notice our game at Carlisle is a 1pm kick off hence the question in the title. It seems a very odd time for us to kick off at Carlisle at the end of January. Does anybody know anything?

I think with no crowds. Many games have been switched to 1pm. This doesn't require floodlights and, in theory, be less likely to have a frozen pitch.

With teams travelling the night before, 1pm shouldn't be a problem. It also allows teams to get home at a more social hour.

In answer to the question, no we are not on Sky soon...but we are on BT Sport +72!

Is BT Sport 72 a joke? or an actual thing?

It just seemed odd that every game in the division was a 3pm ko but ours. As for your frozen pitch theory, you've got that wrong. The longer the sun is on it the less chance you'll have of a frozen pitch, an early KO counteracts that.

Hmm.. we may need to leave this to our very own meteorologist on the ground, Dave T. As the second half, up in the arctic circle of Carlisle, will be in the dark!

But anyway, I think with no crowds, the teams have more freedom to move kick off times.

Given we have to go the night before, a 1pm means the team might make it back before midnight on Saturday!

Talking of which I don't have BT Sport so guessing I won't be able to watch the cup tie?
