Unbelievable choice of fixtures. Sky sports Leeds and Lampard County get more coverage than all EFL teams added together (they've so far been on around 20 times between them) Congratulations for looking after the lower league clubs Sky.
Sky are a commercial business and as such will cover games with highest interest, and highest potential viewers and revenue from adverts, that’s how hey pay to have it onbin first place. I have no issues, Leeds and Bielsa, Derby and Lampard? I’m interested in how those unfold. We’ve had great coverage this season on Sky, massively more than any other League One club would dream of.
My point isn't about SAFC by the way - it's about L1 and L2 - neither of which will get any coverage from the festive "EFL" fixtures - I think it's a joke that none of the fixtures . There is zero support for lower league clubs from them. I know we've had good coverage and don't dispute that. Just think they should give more to the "little guys" than they do (that said, from a marketing aspect, the top 2 (potentially) in our division has to be a bigger pull than Hull v Swansea or Millwall v Blackburn surely?
Aye fair comment mate, I think they can add them as they go along though they aren’t in the same contract as the Championship itself. I’d be surprised if they don’t start picking up some more games, with the way the top 3 are in our league, and the fact that us and Pompey are both great, famous old clubs. Not sure anyone would watch League 2 and that’s the reality of that, same goes for League One really without the big clubs trapped in it.
Would help us as Sunderland fans to get a better read on the league if more League One games were shown. They should have to show at least one match from each league a week in some kind of format. I'd be happy to subscribe to an online service if they don't fancy putting it on TV. Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
In the times today they are saying teams in the championship might go on strike because of the deal. AS for the £250,000 from each prem football club to go to Mr Scudamore's retirement hehe. give half to UNISEF mate where they really need money.
