TV Games 2016/17

[Walkley_Owl]

Hull v Wednesday too

 

[KevinMcallister]

Brighton vs Leeds too, another finger upto all those who had plans and travel costs

fuck off Sky

 

[Mansfield_Ram]

Leeds again!

 

[Rammy]

Derby v Forest picked for coverage of course.

Same day in March, but an early kickoff.

 

[tiltontrev]

Blues at Wolves has been moved to a Sunday 1.15 KO, I think the reason is probably mostly to do with Wolves' bad hooligan problem, coincidently Sky have chosen to show it too.

Worked out great for me, I couldn't have made the Saturday due to work but I'm around on the Sunday

Everyone looking forward to the mid table clash of QPR and Wolves this weekend on Sky?!

Wolves must of been on 5 or 6 times since mid december there on more than man u

 

[QPR_Matt]

Their 10th time on Sky I believe, which is a really high amount. They must really draw in the viewing figures.

11th i think sure someone said there 10th was the other week. All makes sense though leeds,derby,forest and wolves have been on more than anyone they are 4 of the 5 biggest clubs in the league so naturally will get the most viewers.

 

[M Dogg]

Took Sky 11 times to realise that all our games end in draws and don't have more than 2 goals, so we are now only on once until end of March.

Do they though? I guess they must do or sky wouldn't have this obsession with Leeds in particular. I wouldn't have thought the type of person who will watch a non BPL game really gives a toss who the two sides are personally, but I'm probably not their intended customer base.

Youve just proved my point if no neutral fans watch it at all they still get more viewers as they have more of there own fans watching than the other 20 clubs can get.

 

[M Dogg]

Yes, you'd assume ourselves, Leeds, Derby, Wolves, Wednesday will have larger fanbases the the majority of the league. So even if there ground is half empty, there will be twice as many people watching than usual.

I don't think it's a coincidence that matches showing those 5 teams against each other are often on telly.

Maybe the Alzheimer's is kicking in......You drew with us on Sky? Gonna fone the Football fucking league about this M Dogg....not happy!!!

I've eradicated that from my mind. Left work early, spent about 50 quid on a train, it was freezing bloody cold and probably our worst performance of the season by a long, long way.

Leeds get the most views outside the premier league, it's not just leeds fans, it's anti-leeds scum hoping something happens they can wank to on facebook and twitter

Leeds vs Middlesbrough on sky moved to Monday from Saturday with less than 4 weeks notice, 14th time this season

but it doesn't matter to the 34 Norwegian whites that booked flights and tickets for the Saturday and now have wasted all that money

again congrats Sky TV, we average 27k vs Boro at home on Saturday kick-offs we will get 18k on a Monday Night , thanks for the short fall in tv income though Sky

Its fucking wrong there should have to be at least 4 or 5 months notice. It will cost youre club a lot of money how can that be right too. They moved our game at southend on easter monday to the fucking wednesday night. Id deliberately booked flights back to london on the sunday from berlin,we have our hotel booked in southend on the sunday night and also got tickets to watch paul heaton on the sunday night in southend too but oh well fuck what the fans have planned or how it might affect them. FUCKING TOSSERS

 

[Walkley_Owl]

It's fucking shit.

Not entirely true. Sky picked it early December, but Cellino being a twat went down a legal route. It's Cellino's fault it's been announced so late, and caused issues for fans.

Youre the twat sticking up for sky at least cellino is trying to do something about it fair play to him. Maybe you dont go to games i have no idea but for people that do especially ones that follow yourselves and leeds etc its a fucking joke and an absolute ballache. Tv games should be announced 4 months before at least.

 

[Rammy]

It is annoying when games get moved, and this season is worse than ever thanks to Sky losing their Champions League coverage but...

It's a contract agreed to by all football league clubs. Cellino never had a leg to stand on, and it's entirely on him as to why these people have lost money. Had it been announced when it should have been, these people would have known not to book flights.

Cellino could even have released a statement to say this was happening, but no they kept it quiet.

Yes but teams signed up they didnt expect to be on for over a 1/3rd of theyre games, thats the point hes making its a business so thats why leeds and the other bigger clubs are on more but something needs to be done so its more evenly spread out between the whole league. Im not saying everyone should be on the same amount of times but 4 or 5 times will of been on 15/16 times come may and others 2/3

If Leeds, Derby, Forest, Wolves, and Wednesday didn't expect that then they're idiots.

The stats before our game at Elland Road proved that it had no effect on their attendances either. It shouldn't be Leeds complaining, it should be the likes of MK Dons or Rotherham who haven't been getting all this money from Sky. Them I feel sorry for.

But with all due respect, who the fuck wants to watch them, apart from their own fans?

By the way wednesday have been on no where near as much as the rest. The point is it fucks people up who go and watch theyre team home and away and guessing by youre point of view you are not one of those fans so its all works well for you the more you are on tv the better.

 

[Rammy]

I don't tend to go to away games, no. But it doesn't change the facts. Cellino didn't have to take a legal route he had no hope of winning, and he didn't have to keep it quiet.

No flights would have been booked had Cellino had some sense with either of those.

 

[blademan89]

Just seen boros game scheduled for the 12th march has now been moved to sunday 13th march for tv, jesus christ its only 17 fucking days away. As a good will gesture boro will pay up to £50 to people who have already booked train tickets providing they attend on the sunday.

All because Sky haven't got Cup ties to show, pricks
