    Just been looking through early tv fixtures and noticed the reds are not on amazing how all the big clubs with money get on tv nearly every game if i remember rightly the reds had just 2 games on sky last season

    Clubs tend to lose money when they are on sky

    A few away games would be nice though agreed

    Sky/bt are about money. Viewing figures for individual league football matches are not particularly high. Not many people watch bournemouth v southampton, and i would guess sky would prefer not to show such premier league matches at all. Neither have large worldwide followings so there's much less worldwide appeal for selling this product. So imagine the money/selling appeal of barnsley v burton?
    Leeds however (for ex) do have a large national and significant international following so they are naturally more sell-able.
    It's all about the money.

    As Havana says, yep. Ironic thing is first half the season we were probably in the best 2-3 teams to watch too. The minimum requirement is 2 per team and no doubt that's all we'll get again unless we're involved in last day drama.

    Yeah, like when we beat Oxford and Millwall at Wembley, Walsall twice, Fleetwood on penalties when we were far superior, 3-1 against Bradford a couple of years ago and of course the 5-0 at Birmingham.
