As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Insult to fans of both clubs.
Plus we do not seem to do so well as a team for early kick offs.
It is one thing to move it to a different time slot on the Saturday but to midday on a Sunday?
Fans of both clubs should turn our backs on the game for the first five minutes as a protest.

Agreed!
Arsenal are one of the worst clubs in recent times for taking a collective stand on anything so don't hold your breath (for 5 mins) lads.

Oh yeah, I don't expect anything. Arsenal and all fans are absolutely dogshit when it comes to collective action. That's why as a group we'll continue to be taken for granted and fucked when it comes to ticket prices and tv selections etc.

Why protest at The Arsenal don't both clubs have to agree to the change? Surely, they should boycott a home game if they don't like it. Also, what is the point of boycotting the first five minutes? They've still bought the ticket, like the pointless Bayern boycott over ticket prices, simply don't buy it, don't go, and don't subscribe to sky/ bt sport if you don't agree with matches moving for tv, because if the clubs and tv subscription channels receive your money, they will continue to dictate what happens with matches.

Well, you have to be there to show your anger or frustration. It's your opinion that the Bayern boycott was pointless but it got media coverage and people talking about it. We need more of this to ramp up the pressure, not less.
People staying away will just be replaced by others...or the stadium will only have 50000 in it rather than the normal 60,083

as we saw at the match v Bayern Munich this can make for quite an effective protest.
I really do think that Arsenal supporters should also join in with this protest.
To be honest most of our supporters boycott the first 5 minutes at matches anyway so it shouldnt be too hard!
makes a change from them simply not coming to the fixture which is more normal !

Did the club lower the price for away fans in grade A games? No.
Will the protest by Leicester fans change the way tv companies move fixtures? No.
Why? Because money talks. The money Leicester will get from tv next season, without European football, will be greater than their matchday revenue, unless they increase ticket prices. From next season a number of clubs in the Premier League will gain more from tv money than its own supporters. Unless the clubs stand up and support its fans, then tv will dictate when matches will be played.
so it shouldnt be too hard!
