McCabe cashes in.....

 

[Tezza1889]

I remember the days when we were excited cause the game was on tv..


I also remember league one where we didn’t even exist as far as the media were concerned.

This is fine by me and it’s not as if we don’t need the money with two misers at the helm

The West Brom is still showing as a Saturday 3pm fixture so will presumably get moved.

The Derby County game is not listed on Sky's website

West Brom moved to Friday night. Our next 6 games all live on Sky Sports. Surely that’s a first.

We're fucked.

Ipswich game may still be chosen for international coverage which if so and you have an ifollow sub in territories where international agreement in place, it will only be any good for the Brentford game!

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Pleased about the West Brom game, my daught is in a dance show the Saturday night (of the WBA weekend) and was convinced it was going to be swapped to Sat teatime slot. Can now have a good drink Friday night and time to sober up by show time Saturday

 

[SB_90]

It is annoying but we can't complian about derby at least its 3pm still. Espically as that 1st 45 mins has to be 1 of most entertaining halves theyve broadcast this season

Exactly, it used to more exciting than Christmas when we were on telly. Watching us every week on ifollow takes the edge off nowadays.

3. Brentford (Red Button)
4. Leeds (SKY)

Even Sky can’t be arsed with Ipswich, relegate them now

 

[bladesrus]

Personally couldn't be happier. Away for Xmas and thought I'd have to miss the Derby game. Now I can watch it live on Sky

 

[blade too long]

its great for us exiles , get to see the boys every game

 

[derryblade]

That's the bonus of Utd being back in Championship the amount of televised games, extra revenue for the club and exiled Blades being able to see the games. Don't see a downside.

What's the problem?

 

[Tony]

That's what happens when you get to be as MASSIVE as we are, the world wants to watch us.

 

[Topplayersleave]

The only downside is the 3 or 4,000 off the normal attendance which wipes out the TV money

 

[bladesince64]

Why would anybody not want the Blades to be live on TV.

Unless.........

 

[Sothall_Blade]

I’m thinking of adding Sky Sports Football to my package for £18 a month.

Probably just for the next two months initially and then see how we go.

Does anyone know If all these matches are going to be on Sky Sports “Football”?

Or are they going to fiddle me by putting sone on Sky Sports Action or Arena or somewhere else that I would have to pay extra for?

I’m sure they used to do that sort of stuff at one time but it might have changed?

Unless they haven't got access to a TV?

We lose a lot on Sky.

All EFL games are on sky sports football and simulcast on main event. You'd also get england games and a few other internationals, Chinese football (!) and the league cup

For us exiles its great. I wonder if the money sky give for it does make up for lower crowds though? Mind you its ontop of the flat fee they give at the start of the year too.

The game on Friday isn't 3/4 thousand down doubt if the Leeds game will be either.It's not a leap of faith to say the attendances are down because of the price of match day tickets not just sky IMO

I only pay 18 quid for all the sports channels so just make sure you get that deal

They get £100,000 for a home game (£120,000 if played on a Sunday and £140,000 if played on a Thursday). Get £10,000 for an away game. Fixed fee at start of season is £2.6 million from tv fund and £4.2 million from Premier League solidarity fund.
