It's is annoying, but ultimately far more people will tune in to watch Leeds, than Yeovil or Bournemouth. All about ratings.

Why does a top championship game have to involve Leeds though?
Every week there are attractive Championship fixtures to show other than putting them on the tv. The Leeds coverage is disproportionate

They are the best team in the championship, everyone should be treating a game against them as a big cup final.

Currently 1 down at Hillsborough. I can see McDermott getting his marching orders in the not too distant future.

Funny things - expectations. Leeds are currently ONE point behind us, on a fairly modest budget. I reckon he's doing a reasonable job.

Is it though ? I would have thought the TV contract with the league should distribute the games evenly betwen the clubs, so the money is shared out. I wonder how much leeway they have to pick and choose their fixtures.

I think they are obliged to show every club at least ONCE. So they just show everyone's home game v Leeds!

2-0 Wednesday now. Would be a great result for us, that.

Its all about the ratings , the distribution is fair because 8 or 9 clubs will be on the TV playing against Leeds United :lolol: during the course of a season.

I'd think there's more people who want to see Leeds lose than any other result in the Championship.

The same is true with Man United in the Premier League.
