Date changed to allow sky TV coverage personally I don't care but how many more times will Leeds be in sky this season??,
And why are they so popular with sky??
Personally I think they like to see BIG Leeds humiliated..

Sigh. This again.

Leeds are on all the time because they are one of the biggest clubs in the country, in terms of support. In terms of affiliated supporters club membership, they are 4th or something.

I think it is part of the deal signed by Sky and the FL , Leeds are guaranteed a minimum of 9 TV games per season.

They're a big club yes but worth noting that Albion's average home attendance is bigger than dirty leeds albeit by just a few hundred. Unimaginable 3 years ago.

Leeds are on so often, I'm not sure if it's on Sky Sports or Dave.

It isn't that noteworthy though, because this is a discussion as to why Sky have chosen Leeds yet again.

Half of our fans can be found at the stadium on a match day, whereas it probably isn't an exaggeration to say that only 5% of Leeds' fan base is at Elland Road when they're at home. Sky are aware of this and tapping into that market of exiled Leeds fans.

Yes that's true but Leeds are still a much larger club in terms of fan base, outside interest and history.

The 6-0 gubbing by Sheff Wed has been repeated on a loop on the comedy channel. Funniest thing on there.

It's pedantic, and his statement wasn't pedantry.

The Feb list is very weird
QPR
SAT 1st FEB QPR v Burnley
MON 10th FEB Derby v QPR
SUN 16th FEB QPR v Reading
LEEDS
SAT 8th FEB Yeovil v Leeds
SAT 22nd FEB Middlesbrough v Leeds

Then
SAT 1st MARCH QPR v LEEDS!

Seams a bit biased to me.

Surely a more exciting, competitive match would have been QPR vs. Sheffield Wednesday?

Leeds fans are all over the world, our fans predominantly live in Brighton and attend home games, the number of people that actually sit at hom eand watch our games at home on Sky is going to be very very small when compared to Leeds ergo that are on all the time as their televised games recieve by far the highest viewers than other teams in the Championship.

1) How can anyone get stroppy over something as trivial as that?
2) How was I being pedantic?

Their away support average is far far higher, and they have further to travel than us overall I think.

Right enough, they travel in good numbers, but how can they have further to travel, they're in the middle of the country and we're on the south coast?
