Newcastle Will Look To End Five Straight Tyne-Wear Derby Defeats Live On Sky

Newcastle United remain extremely popular when it comes to featuring on TV - with three of their fixtures in October and November, including the Wear-Tyne derby, moved for broadcast, although the TV schedulers have forgotten about the fans once more. The match with bitter rivals Sunderland at the Stadium of Light has been changed to Sunday October 25th (12pm kick-off) and will be broadcast on Sky Sports - with the Magpies hoping to end a run of five-straight derby defeats. Newcastle's home fixture against Norwich City and their first-ever Premier League trip to AFC Bournemouth have also been changed for TV purposes, with the latter being stupidly broadcast at 12.45pm on a Saturday. The Norwich game at St James' Park has been moved to Sunday October 18th (4pm kick-off) and will be broadcast as part of Sky Sports' "Super Sunday". Frustratingly the TV schedulers have not taken fans into account once more, with the Magpies' trip to Dean Court moved to a 12.45pm kick-off on Saturday November 7th so that it can be broadcast on BT Sport. Early research suggests Newcastle fans would need to get the 5.59am train from Central Station to London King Cross, wait an hour for the 10.05am to Bournemouth from Waterloo, and get in at 12pm - giving fans just 45 minutes before kick-off. So that may give Toon supporters no options but to fly, bus it or head down the day before. What a lovely Friday night/Saturday morning trip that will be...
