Two dates for your diaries.

Quote
Two of Bolton's Premier League fixtures in March have been moved after being selected for live television coverage by Sky Sports.

The home game against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday 10th March 2012 was originally scheduled to kick off at 15:00, but will now take place at the earlier time of 12:45.

The following weekend, Owen Coyle's side were due to visit Aston Villa on Saturday 17th March. This game will now take place on Sunday 18th March with kick-off at 16:00.

Wanderers' trip to Villa Park is subject to either team being involved in the FA Cup quarter-finals that same weekend.

About time they had an away game on telly, I think we have only had 2 away games compared to the usual shed load which are on at the Reebok.

That plus a few matches on Setanta means I have never had so many League games on the big screen at the SC, in any of the last 5 seasons - with English commentary!!!

Since I am at uni, I don't mind seeing more of our games on tv, just gives me more opportunity to watch us for once! Even though I did pick the right game to come home for last week!

Bolton away on telly = 50% less Bolton fans going. I'd rather get it at the Reebok, save the possiblity of a 12.45 kickoff somewhere down south meaning a 6am start!

Right what makes you believe that Martin? Their team really isn't that good, certainly no better than us, and in this horrific season of ours we pasted them 4-0 at their place. I know they've bought a few since then but it hasn't got them very far. Everyone's going on about how Hughes will steam in on his white horse and save them but it isn't as simple as that to turn round relegation form - we've seen first hand just how much hard work it takes.

Hughes has a tougher task keeping them up than Coyle does keeping us up and if anyone will have pulled away by the time we meet it will be us.

The Villa game will now be moved to another date due to the FA Cup game at Stevenage or Spurs.

I don't know. I'm not sure how these things work. They pay for the rights to show a certain number of games so I guess they'll have to stick with it or pick a new one for the weekend we were supposed to play.

They guarantee a payment for a set number of games for each team, think its 10 games per season per team, but they do not have show all 10 games.  If they select a game and then that gets changed (i.e. in our case Villa) then they have the rights not to show the game.

But if they do show more than 10 games for any team then they have to pay those teams the extra payments.

They must owe City a crap load of money then.

From someone who is more knowledgeable than me:

Villa game off due to us still being in cup. Also we're due to play Spurs on semi final day so [unless Stevenage beat Spurs in replay AND beat us in 6th round] that game will be off also

Whoever told you that has a good eye on the fixture list. We're due to play West Brom on cup final weekend so that will go ahead as planned.  Wink

This game cannot happen, unless Stevenage beat Tottenham and us in the FA cup as the 14th and 15th April is semi final weekend.

The Villa game will be played on the Tuesday night after our FA Cup game. This could be an interesting one with Blackburn at home the following weekend.

Quote
Bolton's Premier League game against Aston Villa will take place at Villa Park on Tuesday 20th March 2012.

The game was originally moved from Saturday 17th March to Sunday 18th March after being selected for live television coverage by Sky Sports.

However, due to Wanderers' FA Cup sixth round commitments on the same weekend, the clash with the Villans had to be postponed to a later date.

It has now been confirmed that the two sides will meet on Tuesday 20th March 2012, with kick-off at Villa Park at 19:45. Confirmation of whether the game will be televised has yet to be made.
