chrisf Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Not sure if it's been widely reported, but the new Sky deal means less 3pm Saturday games. So at least League One has one silver lining! Under the new TV deal accepted by clubs and the EFL, 5 games each weekend (Friday - Monday) in the Championship will not be played at 3:00pm Saturday. The remaining 7 games will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Won't be much different if we go down either. Loads of L1 and L2 games also being shown live but they have to move from 3pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtownowl Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Afraid that's correct. 5 games picked from League 1 & 2 every weekend for live Sky. Considering we'd be the biggest club there, I reckon that means loads of our what-would-be 3pm Saturday kickoffs moved to Friday nights/ Sunday lunchtimes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidstoneowl Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) I can't face another month in the third tier, let alone a year. We really are treated like the shiyte of English football. I can only think of Portsmouth and Charlton fans, who would have any clue how we feel and may feel similarly. We must have some fans who are now 30 or so years old and who cannot remember seeing us play Premier League football?

Yep we will have spent a whole generation, a quarter of a century flitting between the 2nd and 3rd divisions. So depressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The constant move from the Saturday 3pm kickoffs is going to totally decimate the idea of season tickets if it continues 7 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde2005 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 how many bloody games on tv do you need? i might watch 1 over the wkd . dont think many of us would still be married if we had games on twice a day from friday till monday then more in the week. its called over kill , there is enough games on tv as it is actually far too many. friday nights for away supporters is a nightmare , saturday nights even worse ,1230 on a saturday can mean having to leave the house at 5am . without paying fans this game is nothing , look at 2020/21 watching those games in empty stadiums was a huge put off . we will start having half empty grounds at many clubs before too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Owl Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Sounds like it will be 5 Championship games, 3 League One and 2 League Two every week. Each season, Sky Sports will broadcast a minimum of: 328 Sky Bet Championship matches 248 Sky Bet League One matches 248 Sky Bet League Two matches All 15 Play-Off matches All 93 Carabao Cup matches All 127 EFL Trophy matches Each League weekend fixture round will see 10 live EFL fixtures shown. Five matches will be shown from the Sky Bet Championship and supporters of Sky Bet League One and League Two teams will now benefit from greater coverage than ever before with five of their games being broadcast live. For the first time ever, fans will be also able to watch every match from the Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/21564/12873679/sky-sports-agrees-new-five-year-efl-deal-over-1000-matches-per-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Even this season teams at the top have rarely played Saturday at 3pm. Sign of things to come…. Maybe not for us though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In previous spells down there when Sky used to have the Mickey Mouse Cup and the League Cup I remember we'd be on a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
