Bradwell canary 109 Posted January 25, 2018 That’s the amount of live games shown on Sky latest batch of games to be announced In recent games more Leeds games than anyone else, clearly this means them earning far more from Sky than any other clubs in the Champs!This looks to be extremely unfair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,455 Posted January 25, 2018 We''d be on more if we were more interesting.A low scoring Mid-table team isn''t exactly a huge draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 768 Posted January 25, 2018 Leeds are on far too often though. I''m sure their former owner moaned about it last season.Presumably it''s to boost Sky''s viewing figures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted January 25, 2018 [quote user="king canary"]We''d be on more if we were more interesting.A low scoring Mid-table team isn''t exactly a huge draw.[/quote]Agreed, and this was one of the reasons I put forward to keep our strongest squad by holding on to Pritchard, as more success and more TV games means more income and potential play-offs, which surely was what we needed at this time. Still, the board know best..... hmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stone 0 Posted January 25, 2018 I''d be a bit annoyed of we had that many Sky games to be honest. If you attend the matches changes in kick off times to suit TV can be infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 435 Posted January 25, 2018 From memory I think Leeds are the most watched team (on Sky) after Man Utd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincsy88 93 Posted January 25, 2018 I imagine they do it by fan base along with how well you are doing, Aston Villa and Leeds always seem to be on no matter how bad they are doing. Its all about viewing figures for them isn''t it and £s in their back pocket. I remember last season one of either the geordies/villa or Leeds were on every weekend.

Making Plans 929 Posted January 25, 2018 Far bigger fan base, and sadly a far bigger nationwide attraction, than us.It''s all about viewing figures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock The Boat 1,290 Posted January 25, 2018 Sky have a big office in Leeds. Maybe just laziness on their part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,315 Posted January 25, 2018 [quote user="lincsy88"]Sheffield United away, Bristol City at home, Derby County away, Middlesbrough away, Wolverhampton Wanderers home.[/quote]Not that shocking really, a team with a large fan base playing top end teams, seems reasonable considering Sky are a business, in it to make money.
