I assume the Leeds fans do realise if Cellino gets his way Leeds will NEVER play another 3pm Saturday game.

Those 11am or 10pm kick offs are going to be quality.

Are the viewing figures for Leeds on Sky that much higher than everyone else? I doubt it.

Sorry, by bigger contract I meant a bigger deal. The Prem (18 clubs) gets what? Some 3 billion or more? I don't know the intricates. The FL (72 clubs) gets 100 mill? That is a huge, huge difference.

Negotiate with whom though?

Neither Sky or BT Sport are particularly bothered about FL72 football. Viewing figures are in the region of 2-300,000, compared to up to 2 million for the Premier League.

Sky's own research shows that the biggest driver for subscriptions is Premier League rights from sports fans.

Thanks! I knew we were up there but forgot we had the highest average. Just confirms that Cellino is bonkers.

That was my thought in that chasing the money the highest bidder would get to show the game and if that means Asia or wherever watch out for ko times of 3am to maximise income.

Games played in front of an almost empty stadium become the norm due to silly start times and last minute moves of the game to fit tv schedules.

Thanks for hiding the URL, making me click on the link without realising where it went. I have no desire to give them a fraction of a penny in advertising revenue.
