Personally I'd like to see as many matches not involving the recently relegated as possible. If fact I could (and I will) go so far as say I'd like to see them drop down to League One and show The Gas (preferably at home, so I can see what the locals grow in their back garden veg patches), rather than their usual Leeds United w-fest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the least televised team last season - just 4 games on Sky - that is the bare minimum. We were the only team to be shown only the bare minimum of times. Personally, as I watch via RobinsTV and don't have Sky, it works for me. Any game on Sky isn't on RobinsTV so for those matches I either miss them, try and find a pub that I can somehow persuade to put us on, or have to use some sort of dodgy stream. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I can recall the comments when I use to attend Sky's Annual general meetings asking for more City games live on telly. Now I don't attend, look what has happened Well I will be at Rotherham,who else is heading to the New York stadium. With the game being a mid week date, Sky have given us nothing, as all mid week games are on the red button. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point John. Is there a smell of Gas at Sky, or did someone at City badly offend a Sky exec at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 My thoughts are no one in the media likes us,and I DO care. Not many games on Sky always last to be shown on the ITV highlights show (which I am gonna mention at next years ITV AGM in May 2024 and the team that gets least amount of penalities Don't care about not having games on telly or last on the highlights programme,I can cope with that. Its penalties being awarded against us for no reason, and no penaltys being give to us for cast iron fouls, that I am not happy about 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for we expats not being on Sky is a good thing as it’s shown on ESPN+ PPV and consequently not ON BCTV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, agree this is almost certainly why such a boring looking fixture has been picked. In fairness, I don't think it's so much that we're unfashionable - more that over the last few years we've been one of the few clubs with almost zero chance of promotion or relegation. In that sense, we've probably been the least dramatic and exciting club in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Oddly one of the few "oop North" midweek fixtures which is doable and can get back to London afterwards (with two changes and 3 and quarter hours of travelling). That was until they moved kick off back 15 minutes FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Why on earth they’ve choosen that… Would have been a red button job but now just better replays I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 19, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 The most exciting thing people are missing..... This is the first game this season we play against another team in red shirts.... Meaning we either get to finally see our new change strip or we'll be broadcast all over the world with that horrendous Robin on the yellow kit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we not have to wear the mythical away kit at Hull? Would red be OK with their kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Good news for me though. My travel and airline fares are all OK for the Stoke City home game 30th Sept. Thank you Sky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
