Thought they might have picked us v Burnley for the first game but never mind.

[bwfcdan94]

so did i on a friday, in fact i would have thought that was the sole reason for us playing them first. just shows that the f.a have it out for us even when not influenced by sky

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Not sure if it's that so much, maybe a Friday night game would be harder to police given the bad blood that's bound to be around, who knows. Cardiff v Huddersfield sounds like a snooze-fest to me though.

[bwfcdan94]

if not they could put it on a saturday instead of of wales vs confused outcasts of yorkshire and lanacashire

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Leeds v Wolves sounds a bit tasty actually so maybe it were a toss-up between that and ours for Saturday, and they went with Leeds.

[bwfcdan94]

so you sort it by having leeds wolves on fri, burnley bolton sat

[bwfcdan94]

i still think our game is more tasty though as it is a local derby and coyle return, it surely beats big team versus releagated team(leeds wolves)

Do the BBC still have rights to the Championship? Maybe they picked up the Burnley game.

That's a good point, I remember last year BBC showed West Ham's first game so hopefully they picked us

I'm a frayed knot. The three-year co-coverage deal between the Sky and BBC finished this summer. So now FL live coverage is exclusively Sky, with a resultant 26% drop in income, because the BBC was "not in a position to be able to make a competitive bid".

There remains the option of a highlights deal with a terrestrial TV company, but it seems *nobody* has taken it up, or at least worked out a deal.

I'll be glad if we don't end up on tele for Burnley.
More chance of more travelling and selling out.

Correction to previous post: a highlights deal has been struck, with the BBC again.

Will the "Football League Show" still be shown after MOTD next season. Heard BBC may be dropping it?

[bwfcdan94]

so our game definantly wont be live then, that means it will be harder for me to get tickes but oh well

[P.O.S.]

I only just realised that we will now be playing Saturday, Tuesday, Friday that opening week too.

The players will be "tired" by 7 days in then !!

I can hear the whining now.

[TKIZ!]

I definitely have to go to the games now then, ahh well

[Vertigo]

Looks like I'll be looking to download the football league show more often than not for any decent footage of games this season.
