OliOTIB Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Skys fixture list has been announced for the new year games up until 14th Feb. Only have one feature on the list, the Millwall game on thursday on the red button. Am I wrong to think we have only had 2 games on mainstream Sky when higher end clubs (watford, norwich, middlesbrough etc) have had tens of them? Bit ridiculous really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not really, given the way we are playing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexhill reds Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 It's a commercial TV station that needs the ratings for Ad revenue, unless we are promotion chasers or a big name then we are not going to be great for the ratings, so not a draw for advertisers, look at how many time Villa, Leeds and Florist were picked as Sky games when they were in the Championship. That said unless we are playing Cardiff we always tend to be shit on Sky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not sure if it's still the case, but the contract used to be for a minimum of 2 home games per season for each club be shown (not including red button). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Don't think there is a minimum fixture amount, its all about the pull of team, and we just are not anywhere near box office in this division. We don't pull in any neutrals, whereas I would've watched Fulham or Brentford or Leeds years gone by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Never quite know why we are so unattractive to Sky given we have a top third fanbase. I guess the neutrals would rather watch a traditional name like Blackburn despite less of their actual fans watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Watching us at the moment is the equivalent of having a face only a Mother could Love. If you ain't a Fan, you ain't going out your way to watch. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 They`re saving us for March and April when we come with a late run for the top six. Either that or we`re crap and Sky can`t be arsed. You choose.......................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Nothing ridiculous about it. They show the teams who are either doing well or who generate big viewer numbers. We are neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
