If Humphrey Ker makes Wrexham a circus, what does Carolyn Radford make Mansfield? An Escort wasn't she?

She just happens to prefer the company of older, richer gentlemen

Not sure if it’s from the EFL or Sky website .

Here is the answer from the Q& A's

Sky Sports Selections Notification
Within seven days of the EFL Fixture Release Day, all matches selected for broadcast for the period to the end of September will be announced, and before a ball is kicked of the 2024/25 season, all TV selections will be confirmed for the period up to the FA Cup third round in early January.

By November 1, selections shall be made in respect of all matches to be played between the end of the third round proper of the FA Cup and the first weekend of March, with the announcement of these picks to be made later in the month.

Just been released by Crawley. Video with our groundsman (who decided to spend a year as kitman) speaking about pitch care and so on. It's more interesting than I've made it sound but it is Crawley's groundsman talking about pitches in general with a few memories of the season thrown in.

If they've selected them already, why not announce them now?

Table doesn't read well for the possession loving merchants amongst us. Us and Lincoln the 2 lowest in the league yet we are both top 5.

It'll be like the Chuckle Brothers - to me, to you.

Dreading facing Lincoln after reading this.

Matt Rhead still up top for them?

Shall we agree to get a couple of ringers in? We'll have Rhead and Richard Pacquette, you can have Dele Adebola and J'Lo.

Interestingly Matt Rhead now plays for Kidsgrove and has been joined up front by Tom Pope! Even in non league circles thats one physical old fashioned pairing

Rhead's done well to get back playing after a serious neck operation.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I didn’t think when we moved upto the L1 forum we’d still be taking about Matt Rhead!

Hallelujah.

That should’ve came in ages ago.

Say £25 for championship £20 league 1 and £15 league 2 (appreciate clearly that won’t happen but would be lovely) - given it’s still £30 away to a prem game.

That is the absolute dream. No more ripping off fans. Football should be accessible for all.

Last season Wimbledon wanted £27 for a game in league 2.

I just decided not to go.

More please cloughie! and EFL manager of the year in league 2 last season….

Keep it going! honour to have you.

 

[Casey]

Strange one that Adam. Bolton fans seem to think their manager should be changed because he is not good enough.

Still, ten loses on the bounce and the goodwill for Clough will be toast. We all say they should be given some leeway because of their previous record but they seldom are.

It is a great record though.

Shrewsbury Away and Birmingham Home moved to Thursday nights. We're on 5 times in January and February.

Clearly Sky can't get enough of Wrexham playing Mansfield.

Birmingham at home on a thursday too. Absolutely honking set of fixtures.

 

[Luke Imp]

Our game against Mansfield has been moved to 12.30pm on the 11th January but that's also FA Cup 3rd Round weekend so we'll see how both of us get on in the Second Round.

Wycombe on just once too. Astounding

Well given we’ve the glamourous trip to stevenage we might well be free to play.

They've scheduled our game with Reading to then too and they have one of the easiest ties...

 

[thewwfc]

I have no issue with the Sky/Wxm love-in - it’s all about viewing figures and presumably Wxm would appeal to a relatively large audience of casuals who live too far away to go, but have seen the documentary or whatever and are interested enough to watch a game.

 

[Master D]

They just can't get enough of Parky's champagne football.

 

[AdamStag]

Actually i’ve conveniently realised im on a stag du as is Richard Cranium in york the weekend we’re playing wrexham, so the game getting moved to the sunday is most convenient

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Its ST holders I feel sorry for. Pay the money up front and then potentially miss games with all the fixture date and time changes. Then more with the international calls up

For something like Brum to Wrexham, its a real shitter. A direct train from Birmingham to Chester, stop off at Wxm, then now its been moved, you have no chance of getting back.. last train is 9:30 ish but that will be like 70 minutes on the clock. Awful decision all round.
