BournemouthRed Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Haven't seen the latest batch of TV fixtures announced - had previously been stated they would be revealed on Aug 25. Anyone know if I've missed something? Hoping to get travel to Sunderland sorted but I have a hunch the KO time may shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I think the clubs were informed on Friday and we should know next week - it probably would have been today but for the Bank Holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game won't change, we aren't an attractive proposition for sky as demonstrated by the Aston Villa show on Friday. Plus Sunderland aren't the draw as a Newcastle, we won't be on sky between now and end of November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I think they had to tell the clubs by the 25th, then had a further 3 days to publicly announce it to the fans. Guessing tomorrow they'll be announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hooray for that, can`t wait to see Man Utd reserves play Burton at home and a tedious game between two sides in the same division. Why aren`t I surprised though. Anyone who was suspicious might think that the competition`s new far east sponsors may have had a hand in the selection but that surely isn`t the case.

The TV companies know that Man United/Liverpool against anyone will always rate higher than something like City against Stoke, even if the latter is a far more interesting game on paper.

True although I wonder just how many more people watch a match involving Man U than a more interesting game? Suspect it's overseas related rather than just domestic audience as the latter audience would 'only' be in the 100,000s? However the thing that really p's me off is when the Beeb chase ratings and put a crap manure game on. It doesn't have to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 It might not be soon but we will have at least one more home game on Sky this season, the minimum requirement of their contract for the Championship is that they show 2 home games per club each season.

As you say, ratings driven, but more importantly for the tv companies it is the advertising revenue they can achieve. Man Utd attract far more viewers than Stoke and us put together........

Clashes with the sags v Oxford which apparently has some `history` so A&S Plod have decided we can`t play at the same time. Laughable really.
