What'll be on Sky then?

[DifferentClass]

I think it's pretty much a given we'll get the derbies on Sky.

But apart from those, what else?

Sunlund sounds like summat Sky'd be oer. Probably the away match though, can't see them televising the Boxing Day one. Especially given Villa away on the 23rd is also summat they'd like.

Think we'll get one L**ds match, probably the home one and perhaps Boro at home in April.

Aside from those, I don't really see any fixtures Sky would be reyt keen on.

 

[S64 Blade]

They do seem to pick some odd (boring) ones out too, so I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up on Sky at home to Burton or something. They'd loosely sell it as the return of Clough (assuming he is still there).

I was thinking that too. They'd also give Burton/Forest and Burton/Derby airings no doubt!

 

[BigBed]

If they don't televise us v Wendy it would be a crime!

 

[Robby Blade]

If they don't televise us v Wendy it would be a crime!

So long as it isn't a massacre.

 

[BigBed]

So long as it isn't a massacre.

Will be, 5-1 Blades!

 

[Hodgesleftpeg]

It's guaranteed Leeds will be on a minimum of 10 times, probably do that before the end of November n all

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Sty Sky.

 

[ForgeBlade]

On sky at the sty on Friday night please? I have to go to Newcastle on 23rd September for a (non-Blade) wedding that I'm best man at. The only slim chance I have of going to the macth is if it's a Friday night Sky pick.

Unlikely I know

Ah well, you'll just have to tell him all about it when you get back to the reception.

 

[Ricky]

Sky love Derby. One of the games against them will be televised. Probably the home game on 26th August.

 

[Blade82]

We should know what changes a made to the first set of games by the 28th June

Below is cut and paste from Boro's website.

------

EFL and Sky Sports in pledge to supporters...



The EFL and broadcast partner Sky Sports have again committed to give clubs and supporters at least five weeks’ notice ahead of any EFL League matches being selected for live television coverage.

As part of the agreement, the EFL will publicly announce any fixture changes within three working days of their selection (following club consideration) in order to give EFL supporters as much time as is possible to allow for any alterations to travel plans that may be required.

If both the EFL and Sky Sports are unable to meet this timeframe then the clubs involved have the ability to choose not to be broadcast live on television. However, if both clubs mutually agree to the rescheduling of the fixture within this five-week period then the game will be televised on the new date.

The only televised games to have so far been announced are those on the league's opening weekend - Boro's trip to Wolves has not been selected for live coverage.

TV Selection Dates 2017/18 (Illustrative but subject to a five-week minimum notice commitment):

• Clubs notified of selections for remainder of August by 28 June, 2017
• Clubs notified of selections for September by 14 July
• Clubs notified of selections for 7 October to 11 November by 25 August
• Clubs notified of selections for 18 November to 9 December by 29 September
• Clubs notified of selections for 16 December to 13 January by 3 November
• Clubs notified of selections for 20 January to 3 February by 8 December
• Clubs notified of selections for 10 February to 3 March by 29 December
• Clubs notified of selections for 10 March to 31 March by 19 January

From 23 February, a minimum five-week rolling selection commences for matches up to and including the penultimate weekend:

• Clubs notified of selections for the final day made following the completion of the penultimate round of matches

Remember there's the new ifollow thing this year. International subscribers will get to watch all live games that aren't being shown live in their territory. Sooooooooo, a bit of tech savy and a VPN and there's a good chance that EVERY game could be televised.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Bound to be a Leeds match Sky along with all broadcasters cream over them!!!

 

[shorehamview]

Most of the second half of the season will see us on Sky, when we are pissing this tin pot league.

 

[Russ]

If we can win four Fa Cup games our semi should be on live..

[Harry's Game]

If the Boxing Day game gets moved to the Wednesday evening at 7.45pm I will be pissed off!

 

[Bladesman]

What will be on Sky? any other team than us. We will be lucky to be shown more than 4 times.

Expect L**ds to be shown every week if they end up within the top 8 in the league.

Also unavailable that day as best man at a wedding. He is concerned that I wont be concise in my speech. Not sure what he is on about. Current version lasts 42 minutes.

 

[Stretch]

One game V:
Pigs
Leeds
Villa
Sunderland
Derby
Hull

Will be televised I reckon. Forest perhaps and maybe Cardiff for the Warnock v Wilder factor
Don't be surprised if they bump our opening game to Friday night as well. They've done it before and due to our extended absence it provides a good narrative, especially as they can dwell on our title win and the celebrations.

 

[Gavlar]

always nice to see a semi )

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Hope all those crap Tuesday night away games are on sky.

SYP will have us playing the pigs at 3 am on a Thursday morning.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I see brentford have changed their club crest to a single bee. This will be a bad omen for them, Mark my words!...

In Sheffield? ,Not same wedding is it ?

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

The pigs are due a very rude awakening. They will be shocked as to our ability and underwhelmed by their shower of cunts.
Whilst another perfect Sheffield Double is probably way too improbable to hope for. I believe we will finish the season closer to the top if the table than that sack of incestuous jizz.

 

[Pinchy]

So, let me work this out. We had to wait for the fixtures to come out before asking this question? We are playing every team in our league home and away. We knew who they were fucking weeks ago! They're still the same. No surprises.

Only in S2...

But who will we get in the FA Cup?

They already announced the opening weekend Sky games for Friday, Saturday and Sunday and we're not involved!
