Also, I assume Sky will have 2 games on the 29th December as well. Looking at Championship fixtures for that day, Wigan Burnley looks like a good bet for Sky
Sky have Swansea v Man City at 12.45 on NYD, as well as two Prem games on the 29th, so I don't expect any live Football League on that day
Sky can't show midweek games from the FL.
Oh right, cheers for looking that up
Just spotted looking back up the thread, that that means both Leeds v Sheff Weds games will be live on Sky this season. Surprised they've gone for the 2nd game as well (yes, it's a local derby I know), given the first game was........well, let's just say it wasn't a good advert for Championship football as it was a terrible game to watch.
Again that means both the home and away fixtures will be shown.
It's clear that Sky must see Leeds as the Man United of the Championship, i.e. the club that draws the biggest share of Tv viewers.
just look at our uk fanbase over 1 million ok know home crowds have been poor lots of reasons for that but this Saturdays away game at Charlton is sold out for us plus Blackburn are giving us the whole of the Darwin end which holds 8,000 doubt we will have that many there but still gonna be fair few
as for being midtable championship team we are currently 8th
3 points off play offs Leicester are flying so yes its good choice
2010/11 9 games
2011/12. 8 games
2012/13. 5
2013/14 7 (up to end of January 2014 )
Don't think that's that many really ?
And besides we are not on now till boxing day v Blackpool away also the sheffield Wednesday game (h) was part of sky's free weekend so not sure that can be included
Well you could say that about a lot of games both yesterday's premier league games were dire IMHO next weekends
Looks better on paper espically with man
U arsenal and spurs/ Newcastle but who knows
Being a champions league week and Europa league on Thursday that means premier league will be split by both days
But with forest v Leicester in the championship this wekend
Could be better this than last
As for us being on tv we are the most loved/ hated team in championship which ever way you look at it by far the biggest name which is why sky put us on quite a lot
Not as much as QPR though and Leicester get fair few games
But ask most championship fans which team they want to beat most and chances are we will be most people's choices
Sky need games particually in championship for people to watch and leeds along with QPR Leicester are teams to do that
As your manager said after game (know this is a local derby btw) beating Leeds is the be all and end all for most in this league it doesn't get much bigger than that , to most Leeds
Fans round country beating likes of Huddersfield Barnsley etc
Doesn't warrant mass celebrations that's the diffeterence
Between us and why sky show us so much
Only my view of course
MOT :-)
Sorry but that's a load of trash. Beating you isn't the be all and end all for us, let alone any other team. You say beating certain teams doesn't warrant mass celebrations from your lot..........yeah, because other teams beating you warrants it. Except that doesn't happen. Only have to see the reaction of your fans when you score against us or beat us, you go beyond bonkers (as well as in the case of the game just over a week ago, being so happy/excited that you choose to throw flares and bottles from the stand). You may be a big team in your own mind, but to most teams fans, you're just another bang average middling 2nd tier league team who are nothing special.
