Yeah I noticed that after I had posted mate. All good though, playing on a Friday always felt wrong.
 



To add to all other suggestions im looking forward to us playing forest . We usually have quite exciting games against them so would definately welcome that fixture on tele
 
KO time for 1st Sheffield derby will be moved as Sky plan to televise it apparently.

Do your speech in classic Deadbat report style.

-General summary including crowd singing performance and the vicar
-Marks out of ten for groom, bride, bridesmaids, father of bride, page boys, ushers, vicar, bell ringers, church gardener, the old lady who does the flowers, verger, the sunday morning coffee ladies etc etc etc.

They'll luv it. They really will.

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

It could catch on. In this age of austerity, United might decide to save a few bob on printing and signage and rename us as 'The Blade', dropping one of the swords off the badge in the process.

As times get increasingly harder we lose the Yorkshire rose (cut flowers are too expensive) and the sword is downgraded to a table knife.
Then a plastic kid's knife.
Then a chip shop fork.

Tough times ahead, I warn you!

Oh aye 'six for the Vicar, that's harsh, he's pivotal'.
 
Even if wendy away isnt on sky, bein sports mena (arabic) will def be showing it so plenty of streams will be available. Also the club will probably show it at the lane.Nobody will miss it.
 
"With the release of the EFL fixture lists on Wednesday morning, Sky Sports have released their outline giving fans an idea of when television selections will be made this season.

The EFL and Sky Sports have come to an agreement to produce the television windows for tv selections in an effort to aide fans when it comes to making plans and finding themselves out of pocket when games subsequently change.

Like last season in the Premier League, fans should be more than aware that these windows are effectively advisory and whilst in most instances games will not be altered following these dates - there is a caveat that they could still be.

In fact the EFL promise is that there will be a public announcement within three working days for fans to make alterations, so for example September's games being announced mid July does not mean September fixtures will not alter.

Selections - remainder of August: Decision - by 28th June
Selections - September: Decision - by 14th July
Selections - 7th October to 11th November: Decision - by 25th August
Selections - 18th November to 9th December: Decision - by 29th September
Selections - 16th December to 13th January: Decision - by 3rd November
Selections - for 20th January to 3rd February: Decision - by 8th December
Selections - for 10th February to 3rd March: Decision - by 29th December
Selections - for 10th March to 31st March: Decision - by 19th January"

Given that two relegated sides and one promoted side feature in week 1's TV picks, Boro v Blades in week 2 would make sense
 
I'll be amazed if Sky don't show Sheffield United vs Derby ,live ...it'll be the best attended game of the round , and United's first televised Home game
In other August 26 fixtures , only F***** vs L**** comes close as the biggest match of that week.

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

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

Bloody better not be.

I fly out to Venice that day!

The 27th that is, no problem if they want to play on the 26th or earlier.
