Rejected petition Make Sky Sports & BT Sport give more notice when rescheduling a football match

The television media change football matches with minimal notice costing the supporters who attend the match money due to lost money (train tickets, hotels etc) when they can't make the re-arranged match. No thought is given to the supporters. Money talks.

More details

Many football matches are rescheduled by the tv companies for live broadcast. Little or no thought is given to the supporters who have already organised time off work, transport or over night stays. There needs to be a minimum notice period of 8 weeks for a rescheduling
