My honest opinion of Sky's attitude towards the EFL is we(Sky) would prefer to have the contract to have live Championship games than either BBC/ITV/C4 or C5
I think sky covering these games is an irritant to them
If the planned kick offs are fri/sat/sun/mon
That means that the three? game/s played on Sundays and Mondays would need another highlights show like MOTD2
I think ITV would want its highlights programme on as soon as possible,9pm Saturday night like now.
A question for all of us,do you want the EFL highlights show all the way through,I am only interested in Bristol City
Maybe ITV could go back to a regional West/Wales/South west regional highlights programme
So,look forward to loads of 12:30pm kick offs next season,my concern is that season ticket sales for all clubs could fall.
Although I don't attend the Sky AGM anymore
ITV have there AGM in late April which I will be attending.
So what would you request if you were at the ITV AGM

Ask your self if there was top flight match between any of the clubs below the top six
Would you prefer to watch that,or the choice of ten other teams that you will be playing against in the coming weeks.
Like I have said in the past I prefer 12:30pm kicks

RMT have called UNDERGROUND strikes starting on Friday 5th January.
This should not effect the main line trains heading into London Paddington
It could/might effect the journey from Paddington to Stratford.
Not sure how easy it is to get across London using the bus or maybe a taxi ride
The london based boys would have a better idea
Its a ten mile, one hour duration if you go across London by taxi not sure of the cost though
As i have stated if your going by train,get them reservations in early
Don't forget there is extended journeys times as the trains are being diverted via Westbury(Wilts) and newbury

A panel - introduced this season - is made up of five ex-players and coaches, as well as a representative from the EFL and refereeing body, the PGMOL.
Saying officials get 85 per cent correct.
Don't think they have attended any Bristol City games,as the "correct rate" would then fall below 50 per cent
Me thinks its like marking your own homework

next season?
It seems that Sky have heard fans don't like to travel to away games on Fri/sat/sun/mon evenings when its live on sky.
Rumor has it, is that the FIVE weekend live championship games to be screened live by sky will all kick off at 12:30pm on the saturday
BT/TNT have the midday slot on Saturday, so maybe putting up five championship up against one premier game might swing the viewing figures towards Sky
I don't make no bones about my liking for 12:30pm kick offs.
Okay you will set off in the dark, to make those long winter trips,but at least you have two hours of daylight on the journey home

Couldn't you have just posted the link instead of posting the whole article and the "five-time promotion winner" "We’ve got an exciting, young, attacking group of players" nonsense?
Stuff it, I am going back to the links instead then

Hull City are delighted to announce that a deal has been agreed to sign vastly experienced striker Billy Sharp.
The 37-year-old will officially join the club on 1 January on a contract until the end of the season.
The prolific forward is the Championship’s all-time leading scorer with 130 goals for six different clubs, most notably boyhood side Sheffield United, where he won promotion to the Premier League last term.
Making almost 400 appearances across three spells at Bramall Lane, he was a pivotal figure in the Blades’ rise from League One to the Premier League between 2016 and 2019.
A five-time promotion winner, having reached the top flight with Southampton and the second tier with Scunthorpe United – both under former City boss Nigel Adkins – Sharp has netted over 250 career goals.
The frontman most recently represented MLS side LA Galaxy, for whom he scored six times in 12 matches – his ninth club during two decades as a professional.
Head coach Liam Rosenior said: “I’m so happy. It’s the ultimate no-brainer.
“We’ve got an exciting, young, attacking group of players but what I found in my experience of promotion, and Billy has five, is that when you get to April and May, you need people who have been there, seen it and done it.
“That can be on the pitch and off the pitch with words in the dressing room. Wherever Billy has been, he’s scored goals – and at crucial moments in games.
“To bring in someone of his quality and experience is of huge benefit to the club.”
Welcome, Billy!

The Latin language won the vote,not sure by how many votes though.

Down Town:
Not sure why you have picked out me for criticism on just posting a link to a story when others have done something similar
Regarding being retired,I think after working for fifty years I did expect to have some time on my hands after working all that time
I suggest you put me on your ignore list,then you won't have to put up with my links stories any more.
