    No suprise we have been snubbed by ESPN, i think they featured us 1ce last season so 0 isnt a suprise.

    1 game on sky from now till november, is a joke, especially with the some of the dros on.

    How they expect people to get down to East Anglia and back on a monday night is a discrace, thats 2 days off work for some people who will probably get back at 6am from the game.

    Terrible choice of fixtures, terrible terrible terrible!

    On the bright side we have too be featured a minimum of 5 so we will have afew dotted around after christmas.

    I think it's brilliant...It means that our fixtures won't get pissed about too much.

    I agree for the home games but stick some away games on Sky - I have a family so can't get to away games anymore (but sympathise massively with those that will be travelling down to Norfolk on a Monday night!!) - Sky have absolutely no care for the fans of clubs like us. Also look at the financial side of things - i.e. we get much less money that those who are shown 10 times. If you are shown on Sky in excess of 10 times then the club receives an extra bonus - otherwise you get the standard amount - this "Financial Fair Play" crap becomes completely unfair when sky get involved

    its alright for people with season tickets who are going to watch the match regularly. Im gonna be in aberdeen for the vast majority of the season and will get t maybe one game round christmas time. Its annoying to say the least

    Can't for the life of me see how it's brilliant? The club are loosing out on a fortune in TV rites.
    Meanwhile those that want to sit in a pub and watch still can. Illegally.

    Absolute joke. Why are they showing Wigan v wolves??! Who in there right mind will want to watch that. We always get the same treatment apart from when keane was here, they showed a few more then. They havnt got the derby on?! Atmosphere wise and excitement wise, one of the best around.
