Football League Games moved for Sky TV - 2016/ 17 Season

Judio1999 · 16 Jun 2016

New season so here is a new thread.
The FL have just published the following
Statement
-------------

This year, the live match TV selections for opening weekend will be released with the fixtures on 22nd June at 9.00am. The following weekend’s selections will then be made in the following days. We have looked to make improvements to the announcement process this year, and the EFL will be announcing the release dates for live selections throughout the season in due course.

There are 92 Championship games
Each club will have at least 2 home games.

Newcastle Aston Villa Derby and Leeds are allowed to be picked as many times as Sky want

...apart from 2 (hopefully, Friday Nights at GP!). Early/late Saturdays, Sundays or Monday evenings not good for the 'live' fan!

why is that then?

Judio1999 · 20 Jun 2016

If you want a sensible answer

Because Unlike the PL(who have a maximum limit each club can be shown)

the Football League have allowed Sky to show their favoured teams as many time as they like

Actually it's possible we'd have a few games there for the reasons you mention. The big TV audiences won't be on Thurs nights, so they may not put the biggest teams there and save them for the weekend...

Judio1999 · 22 Jun 2016

First 3 games on Sky opening weekend
Newcastle
Leeds
Aston Villa

Judio1999 · 22 Jun 2016

Fulham and Newcastle United have been selected as the two teams to kick-off the EFL season when they go head-to-head on Friday 5th August in front of the Sky Sports cameras at Craven Cottage (7.45pm).

while Aston Villa kick-off their campaign on Sunday 7th August in one of two Sky Sports matches picked for that day.

Villa are at Sheffield Wednesday for a 4.30pm kick-off, while QPR host Leeds United in a 12.00pm match on the Sunday.

ladbroke · 22 Jun 2016

Be fair they're not bad choices even if the 3 chosen in Aston Villa, Newcastle and Leeds were predictable.

By when will we know whether or not Brighton away is going to be rescheduled from 10 September?

Hopefully staying where it is as I have bought train tickets already

jlove · 23 Jun 2016

I think Sky's main criterion for selecting a game is that sufficient people who are not able to get to the game will want to watch it on TV. I'd guess Brentford playing at Brighton, unless both are vying for a top spot, will not be high on that list. It is highly likely that Brentford home games, with a capacity of 1,600 for aways, particularly midweeks against Leeds, Newcastle, Villa, Derby etc., will be targets.

Judio1999 · 23 Jun 2016

Not because of that

The contract says you have to show each club at home a minimum of 2 games

Yes, I should have qualified my comment with "within the rules".

Judio1999 · 27 Jun 2016

Fri Aug 12 Brighton v Nottm Forest 1945
Sat Aug 13 Norwich v Sheff Wed 1730

No Leeds, Newcastle or Villa game?

Invipai · 27 Jun 2016

Brighton, Forest and Wednesday will be the next 3 down the list...

North London Bee · 28 Jun 2016

All Sky care about are ratings.

The so called big clubs will always receive far more live coverage than the minnows.

We are perceived as a small club based in a city packed with other more established teams.

Our supporter base is low and we have few displaced fans throughout the country compared to our rivals.

The only way we can obtain more than the bare minimum live games is to earn it through our performances.

As far as Sky are concerned only our games with Fulham and QPR would have the gloss and appeal to non-Brentford fans.

Expect nothing and we won't be disappointed.

Over the last 2 seasons we've played 6 times those 2 teams.... how many live?

Judio1999 · 28 Jun 2016

2 out of 3 times at Griffin Park

ladbroke · 28 Jun 2016

Judio1999 said:

Sorry 2 out of 6 in total.

So not really got the gloss and appeal. And the reason why it was at home is because the away sides might not get tickets and would watch the match. Well, their thinking anyway...

GABS · 1 Jul 2016

So does anyone know when or if Sky will confirm Newcastle away hasn't been moved for TV coverage?

Invipai · 1 Jul 2016

They generally announce TV games in batches of 2 weeks or so at a time. There won't be a firm timetable but we basically have to wait until they announce other games that weekend and hope it's not one of them. I'd guess they'd announce it in late Aug/early Sept myself. I doubt it will be though, our home match with them is the much bigger danger.

The Walrus · 1 Jul 2016

GABS said:

Not sure but I wouldn't worry about our game being moved. Also scheduled for that day are Villa v Wolves and Derby v Leeds. I'd say those two are dead certs to be moved. Probably Cardiff v Bristol and Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday would be chosen ahead of us too.

GABS · 1 Jul 2016

Cheers all. I'm considering a flight from Southampton thus being extra cautious.

Judio1999 · 1 Jul 2016

Last year we had all of September by July8 th

October games were announced by July 30th

North London Bee · 1 Jul 2016

Don't expect us to get a live game for at least the first three months.

Judio1999 · 6 Jul 2016

This is the Official plan if we can trust them

August 13-end of September fixtures – announced July 8

October – November 12 – announced August 5

19th November to January 2 – announced 30 September

Rest of January – 30 October

February – 30 November

From February onwards – announced on a five-week rolling basis

Think we should have a competition to guess the chosen games... see how many are right/predictable.

The Football League have now denied saying it was today !!!

EFL ‏@EFL 4h4 hours ago
@daveymark15 Hi Mark - we've not changed anything as we have never announced a date. We'll be confirming announcement day/time shortly.

Judio1999 · 8 Jul 2016

The next batch of games live on Sky Sports, covering games in August and September, will be announced at 4pm on Wednesday 13th July.
The games will cover selections for the matchdays 3 to 9 inclusive.

Voice from the Braemar · 9 Jul 2016

It is Friday night, Saturday evening and I think some Sunday afternoon and Monday evening. Potentially Thursday if last season sets a precedent.

Judio1999 · 9 Jul 2016

If you look at the PL tv games there are 2 Sundays with no 130 game
Sun Sep 11
Sun Sep 25

So it would be likely that week to have a Sunday game for the EFL

Judio1999 · 11 Jul 2016

Although this is not really much of an announcement on Weds
Weeks 3 to 9 include
Tues Aug 16
Tues Sep 13
Tues Sep 27

Which are not televised !!!

Judio1999 · 13 Jul 2016

Brentford have been selected 0 times

Judio1999 · 13 Jul 2016

In the 5 Weekends Selected

3 Derby County games

3 Aston Villa Games

3 Newcastle Games

So Predictable
