We certainly don't seem very popular for sky games at all! We haven't even stated how much tickets are for our first home game, or got them on sale yet........I thought we may have by now!
Last season Cardiff and Leicester were the two main (benefactors?) with plenty of Friday night and Sunday matches instead of the usual Saturday 3pm Kick off.. I might be overly cynical (I doubt it) but it must surely have something to do with the Malaysian & Thai owners that both clubs have.. meaning sky would get bumper viewing figures in Asia Obviously both teams did well last season, which obviously helps but I think Sky know what they're doing here and I reckon Leeds might find themselves on the box a few more times with their middle east interest growing...
Ever since our Groundsmen worked their bollocks off for that Leicester game we have hardly had a look in for league games!
To be fair, even we didn't want to watch half our games last season so you can see why we not appear to be that popular amongst the neutrals.
The result of ridiculously pathetic performances since the last days of Magilton, plus the probability that the stuffed shirts in charge of scheduling can’t predict we might have a good season. If we feature regularly when the second half of the season TV coverage is decided we’ll know we’re doing alright!
Warky - TB may have sounded negative, but in all fairness, he does have a point, we are god awful to watch on a lot of occasions. We definitely havn't been a football fans favourite in recent seasons.
I quite enjoyed the Ipswich vs Cardiff match last season, well the first 75mins, I thought we were excellent, shame about the last 15minutes mind!! I'm trying to actually think of the last good match I went to, obviously the one against West Ham was a particular highlight but other than that I can only think of beating Arsenal 1-0 and we didn't exactly play well it was just a gutsy performance but before that I think it was Jims last match against the scum (would be nice to go back to that moment and have a massive fans protest against the Dark Lord being appointed)!!
JWM - Im fairly positive now but I think even the most optimistic or enthusiast fan was hardly overwelmed with joy last season. if I was a neutral with 700 channels to watch I think I could have found something more enjoyable to watch then us . Personally I would watch us every game is possible but I can see why the TV cameras wouldnt want to broadcast us.
