They probably give the production team the best half time lunch. Also, their camera gantry isn't on the moon. Unlike ours. More chance of them showing us playing the Mars Rover, than the Bristol Rovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Someone has to be bottom of that table but the disparity is huge. Surely there should be a vaguely even number of games for each team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there should be a vaguely even number of games for each team. The range is far too wide isn’t it? I totally get supply and demand, but we haven’t even got any away games. Boro (h), Blackpool (h), Sheffield United (h) and Cardiff (h). The tv love I’m on Blackburn (and Sunderland) is incredible. If the £s are £100k (h) and £10k (a), that’s best part of £1m extra they’ve got over us! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Silvio Dante said: Obviously doesn’t include red button games, but this is probably indicative of us not fighting at the top or the bottom all season… I’m sure @Never to the dark side can use it at the AGM though!

Always the best for anyone that has to travel any distance to watch the games, but I quite like Friday night or Saturday lunchtime games, if only to get them out the way!

Open End Numb Legs Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I suppose that helps to explain the 'who's Alex Scott' comments from other club's supporters. Even more interesting that he won the award assuming most neutral viewers would stick with the HD studio match mid week rather than squint at the red button games.

cidered abroad Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Fewest live TV and probably fewest penalty kicks!

I end up supporting anyone south west of a line drawn between Manchester and London, in any sport. Well, apart from one team.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Cardiff and Reading are relegation candidates yet both got more than twice as many live games as us. Maybe it is the mid table mediocrity that causes it, nothing to play for. Or maybe Nige needs to get a sideline acting career in Hollywood...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a Blackburn fan high up in the Production or Commisioning staff at Sky? I have worked in the TV industry, and Nepotism and "Who u Know' is rife. Don't you just Love Luvvies? Ha!!
