dylanisabaddog 6,147 Posted February 27, 2019 It is unusual but not unheard of for Sky to show Championship games on a Sunday with the exception of local derbies. If this game is moved it seems more likely to be Friday night or Saturday evening. If it does get moved to Sunday I assume the Reading game would be moved back to Wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tues to Friday is 3 sleeps! Between each game is 72 hours ( 3 days 😉 ) Sunday to Tuesday is 2 sleeps and between those games would be (approx) 55 hours Even after all that I agree with you that we won't be paying Sunday and then Tuesday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky have not released their Championship choices for April, but they have picked three other games for that Sunday - a lunchtime game in Scotland and two PL games in the afternoon. I don't know how Sky works, and whether they would fit in a Championship game as well, given that the only such games they seem to show are local derbies moved to a Sunday lunchtime by the police.

Huggy Definitely expecting some of our games to move for TV, though with Easter, we have Sheff Wed on Good Friday at 3pm, then Stoke on Easter Monday at 3pm. I suspect one of those might change to a lunchtime or teatime k.o. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 457 Posted February 28, 2019 After this weekend’s trip to Millwall, five of City’s next six league games will be live on television ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL typical of Sky's anti-City bias, not showing the Rotherham game live !! Being serious it may have something to do with our games this season having masses of goals and excitement, and us now being top of the league, which has put City higher up their radar ? Compared to pre-season when most predictions were mid-table for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted February 28, 2019 For those interested in the financial side of things We get £100,000 for each home game, and £10,000 for each away game shown So another £410,000 heading our way 🍾 and, I believe, that is £740,000 in total so far..... yippee !
