TV Games 2016/17

[Rammy]

Another away game for us in MK Dons. Good, as I get to watch it, but means we only get money from one of our four games on Sky.

 

[hodge]

Given I'm only expecting us to be on Sky for away games only 2 stuck out as potential games before the end of September really, Boro away and Ipswich away. Still expecting our Cardiff game to make it on TV though but that's in October.

Again!? Equalled last season by mid-September

Sky could do with moving the Rotherham, Huddersfield and Bristol City home games too

 

[KevinMcallister]

only 1 more Leeds game

ffs what a disgrace!

 

[markwwfc1992]

It's nice to give this league a bit of exposure rather than televising something like Crystal Palace vs Stoke on MNF

 

[WhiteRussian]

I'm sure it's been said somewhere but how much is a televised match worth to the clubs in this division?

£80,000 for the home side.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Not sure whether to be happy about no TV games yet, or sad.

2 more takes up to 6, by the start of November.

Derby v Wolves is now a 1.15pm Sunday kickoff on 18th October.
Forest v Derby has somehow been allowed by the police to move to a 7.30pm kickoff on Friday 6th November.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Hasn't the Derby vs Wolves fixture been on TV for the last 3 games in a row now? It's the new El Classico

 

[JJH]

Florist at Home on TV. Friday 16th October, 19:45.

 

[SF_]

Our home game against Bolton is now televised too, 6pm on Halloween.

 

[Madejski]

Our U21s are live on Sky more often than our first team this season..

Though at least it means they feel we're not going to be in the relegation mix.

 

[Ciderhead]

£80,000 for the home side.

We're getting £100,000 for ours. Maybe they get a discount from Derby for buying in bulk.

 

[JP_LUFC]

Our away game at Huddersfield is now on Sky on Saturday Nov 7th (12:30 k/o)

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Wednesday v Hull 17/10
Rotherham v Wednesday 23/10
Bet SYP are loving the latter, all day round Toytown boozing it is.

 

[Mr Elmo]

Who was the genius that thought Forest vs Derby on Friday night would be a good idea

We've had Leeds and Sheffield United on a Friday night.... Stupid.

Or maybe it's gone up this season?

 

[Bobbin']

Overlooked again

 

[roversfan2001]

Dingles at home on TV too, 24th Oct at 12.30. Three times on TV already

 

[TomPNE94]

Bolton at home on Sky. 31st October (Saturday) at 6pm. Seems a weird time.

 

[Super_horns]

Bolton at home on Sky. 31st October (Saturday) at 6pm. Seems a weird time.

Due to the Rugby World Cup starting at 4 apparently..

 

[hodge]

Surprised its our game against Forest tbh, means they're not putting us vs Cardiff on tv as there's another game now scheduled at that time.

 

[M Dogg]

5 for us, stopped me going to Brighton this week and i would still go to Derby, QPR and Bristol tbh

 

[Rammy]

Derby v Burnley has just been moved to a Monday night ffs. September 21st, meaning we now have 4 of our next 7 games live on Sky Sports.

Starting to wish they'd fuck off and leave us alone!

 

[markwwfc1992]

They should put Rovrum on TV

 

[Rammy]

They should put Rovrum on TV

They probably will when we play them!

 

[big mean bunny]

annoying, I cancelled Sky sports and I haven't been watching streams, usually what happens when I cancel is I try to replace it with streams and get pissed off with the quality as I am a visual snob and resub, however there has actually been some good Champ coverage, if you ignore the wanky games of ours they keep showing.

NORWEGIAN Derby County fan Finn Steen paid £5,000 for him and his family to go to a Saturday game – only to see it moved to another day.

The Rams’ home fixture against Burnley was scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, September 19, but has now been moved two days later to the Monday evening so that the match can be aired live on Sky Sports.

Finn, who turned 60 this year, wanted to celebrate his birthday by bringing his family to Derby to see the city and to enjoy a Derby County game at the iPro Stadium.

Mr Steen treated himself, along with 11 family members – his two brothers, their wives, his nephews and their wives to the trip.

He said: “Airplane tickets and the hotel in Derby have been paid for, we have paid for hire cars and child-care and time off from work has been arranged – the whole thing has cost almost £5,000.

“I’ve been to Derby many times, but my desire was to show my relatives around the city, and not least experience a football match with Derby County.

“We have decided that we will travel as planned but we cannot watch the game.”

Mr Steen, who will be returning to Derby to see the Rams in action against Wolverhampton on Sunday October 18 alone, found out when he was watching television last week.

“I’m a Sky Sports subscriber and I watch it every day. This year, I waited until they had picked their matches for television before I decided which match to go to.

“Me and my family arranged our trip around the Derby County and Burnley match on Saturday, September 19.

“Then, last Monday, I saw that it had been changed – I was shocked, because Sky had changed the Wolves match for TV over a month ago.”

The change in date has left the family disappointed. Mr Steen said: “When I saw it was changed, I didn’t feel very good, I want to show my family the city and take them to a Derby County match.”

The family will travel from Norway to Stanstead on Thursday September 17, hiring cars to drive up to Derby, where they have rooms booked at Jurys Inn, Derby city centre for two nights.

Derby County has refunded the full cost of the tickets.

Mr Steen said: “It’s not Derby County’s fault that the match has changed, and they have given me my money back, which was helpful.

“We’re very disappointed about the match, but I still get to show my family the city.”

Mr Steen has been a Rams fan since he saw a match on television back in 1969. He said: “In 1977, I became treasurer of Derby County Supporters Club Norway branch, there are 400 members now.”A Football League spokesman said: “The vast majority of the TV selections are made as a block months in advance.

“In regard to the advance notice, there is no contracted minimum time limit but the aim is to give at least 28 days notice. Thankfully these occasions are the exception to the rule and not the norm so will therefore be kept to a minimum.”

Derby County said it did not want to comment and Sky referred the Derby Telegraph to the Football League comment."
