sky naturally target clubs where they get the best viewing figures this is done to get bums on seats in pubs who contribute a great deal of money to sky so the likes of Millwall and small clubs like that will not get many bums on seats whereas Leeds Forest and Derby will
All the teams contributing the most to Sky's profits are in the Premier League, Championship games are a piss in the ocean in comparison.
Don't ask him about his days as an Arsenal fan when Hull were in division 4,I did once pulled my rod arm out of socket.
I support my local team, always have, as a consequence I've never missed a home game due to it being televised.
Not true when you lived in London though was it ? and you did go the Arsenal and the fact you were in division 4 was just coincidence.
How desperate are you? I once went to one Champions League game at Highbury as a corporate guest, it was the only Arsenal game I ever went to that didn't involve Hull City, that doesn't make me an Arsenal fan you clown. I've been to every Community Shield game and FA Cup final at the new Wembley, I didn't support all the teams in those games either. I'm afraid when it comes to randomly picking a team to support just because they're more successful than your local one, you're on your own.
No he's not - there's plenty of Paddy's and Jocks on this forum that support Leeds because they won something 40 odd years ago!!
That's basically what I said you glory hunted a lot of teams,when Hull were ****.Pleased for you Hull have improved enough for you to start going now.
Phil Hay @PhilHayYEP 47s47 seconds ago Shaun Harvey confirms that the live broadcast of #lufc v Derby is on. Football League statement to come.
I know, it's very sad, they even make **** up to try and deflect attention from their shame. I pity them. #PrayForChesh
Leeds United have reluctantly allowed Sky cameras into Elland Road to broadcast tonight's fixture against Derby County. Leeds United have noted that the majority of press reports on the matter have quite rightly appreciated that the club's issues with the Football League relate in part to the entirely disproportionate number of times Sky have selected the club for live transmission. It is not just the number of times the club has been selected, but the fact the adjoining fixtures are also then disrupted which adversely affects the players, the club's logistical arrangements and the fans' arrangements. It is clear to the club that its key supporters, the Season Ticket holders, have also had enough of this constant alteration, often at short notice, to the fixture list to accommodate Sky. Leeds United were required to play Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday December 17 followed by Preston North End at home on Sunday December 20, followed by Nottingham Forest on Sunday evening and then Derby County tonight . Recent good results have been achieved despite the alterations to the fixture list, but at great cost to the players' fitness and a substantial injury list .The festive plans of supporters have also been entirely ruined by Sky's live TV selections . The league, despite the club having challenged them through the appropriate legal routes, continue to try and alter our schedule by insisting fixtures are changed to suit Sky, including Brighton & Hove Albion away from a Saturday to a Monday in February. Given Sky are to show 92 live games this season, a fair allocation would be four home games per club - so the selection by Sky is clearly unfair and the league are allowing this . The Football League regulations are supposed to be there to protect the integrity of the sporting competition, not to be used as a stick to beat the club on behalf of Sky. Leeds United Season Ticket holders have had enough of these fixture changes, the players and staff have had enough, and Leeds United Football Club has had enough . It is to be noted that the League threaten a disrepute charge against the club. It is the League who are bringing their own competition into disrepute by unfairly prejudicing Leeds (and certain other clubs) by allowing Sky to unfairly disrupt Leeds United for their own commercial purposes. - See more at: http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/tmkq6kplrq2613jrdaw1vsf4e#sthash.Hm6clFfb.dpuf
Did you come Leeds for the spanking a few weeks back mod man ? picked a bad time to start going away ay.
The last month has been appalling, we have suffered the shame of losing to some of the worst teams in the league, Preston, Rotherham and Leeds, Bruce should have been sacked by now. Obviously I was there, I'm always there.
So do you think there would be more at the ground if it was shown live or if it was not shown live? Anything else like average attendances etc are irrelevant to this issue. sorry it was a stupid question, maybe you could humour my stupidity and answer it
Fickle lot you Hull fans,sack the best manager in the history of your club,you're 3rd in the league and you're at least 1 division above where a club like Hull should be.Not surprised you lost to Preston and Rotherham,both were better than Hull at Leeds.
