    Bloody Sky.

    I will be shocked if the game vs Cardiff isn't on TV as well.

    Very real possibility that this will happen, if not next Saturday then the following Friday when Watford travel to Leicester.

    It would be nice to do it whilst we are playing, but I would take it any way it comes at the moment :p

    It wont be 5.40 . We scored today and 5.40 and there were 7 minutes left.

    We could possibly be promoted Friday night , if we beat Wolves and Brissle and Watford slip up at Millwall. Party on friday night<cracker>

    If Watford somehow slip up at millwall if say we're all but promoted on Tuesday.

    Doesn't bother me what they do anyway, win or draw we don't give a ****, we're super hull city and were going up!

    If the table stays as it is then why would it be shown? Forest vs Leicester (can't remember which ground) as a local derby where both teams need to win to go for the playoffs would be far more appealing for last day television.

    Will any last day games be shown? I doubt it, all have to KO at same time, premier league will be preferred.

    True.

    But you'd think Sky's (frankly illogical) mentality is to show one of the sides that lift silverware.

    The games all kick off at lunch time specifically so that Sky can pick their TV game(s) in the week immediately before the game.

    I'm pretty sure they show 2 games, but if it's only 1 it would need to be a realistic title decider (ie not us 3 points behind needing to win 7-0 to do it on goal difference).

    We'd have both already lifted it the weekend before. We got our first presentations made at Yeovil when we got promoted there.

    **** off Ricardo why do you know everything?

    How did the Egyptians cut their pyramid stones so perfectly that even with all the technology we have today we couldn't so as immaculate a job? Do you know the answer to that?

    If so what will next Saturdays lottery numbers be?

    Aye, yes we did.

    But I'm sure DQPR were presented their cup on the final day - they were already champions as well. (I don't know why I remember it, though)

    I think Norwich, Reading and Southampton were presented their's in the last home game as well.

    Final game will depend on the gap between us and Cardiff. If (unlikely) we could be within 2 points of them it'd be worth showing it. If not, then Leicester v Forest.
