And Sky are still insisting on showing Leeds games. Thought they would have learned a lesson after last season when it seemed like every other game they played was on tv.

We may well be on S4C though for the Crappy Old Cup game game against Newport?... Which can only be a good thing if the match tickets are gonna be over £15.

Learned what lesson? Leeds ARE traditionally a very big club, with a larger support base than most teams in the Champ. Therefore, they get more Sky games. It's not rocket science, it's logic.

Not too upset, the only time I like us to be on SKY is if I can't make the game or am on holiday, also I'd much rather we were on SKY away from home.

If we had the history, tradition and fanbase spread across the country that Leeds have then we'd be on television far more.

They are the biggest club in the Championship so get the most television games - see Manchester United in the Premier League.

It's more about the love-in with Leicester - they were ALWAYS on TV last season it seemed, except when playing us of course.

Accrington vs Portsmouth - mmmm what a game :facepalm:

I wonder if they will show Yeovil Vs QPR, they always love a game where an ex-premier league club are 'forced' to go to a minnow in the championship to show how far they have fallen.

In terms of nationally affliated supporters club membership, Leeds are something like the 4th biggest club in the country. That's why they fill the away end down here for a Friday night game on television.

The pubs want their beer sold, and they do this by showing live sport. Leeds on telly will bring punters into pubs all over the country. For that reason, Sky will show the games that the pubs want shown because they pay a lot of money for Sky Sports.

It's because they're a BIG club innit! :dunce:
