Sky tv coverage

[Oceanbee]

Sky has now announced their TV coverage of Championship games for the first 8 weeks of the season.
I am somewhat amazed, as far as I can see, that we do not have one single game featuring us.
Whereas some clubs are being shown 3 or 4 times, including many who finished way below us.
Only Bristol City and Charlton are not being shown as well, but MK Dons are!!!

I am not worried about home games not being shown, as I'll be there to see it live.

But it is a big insult to us, not to have even one game being televised in the early part of the season.

How do Sky choose Fulham in preference to us???!!!

Don't worry we will be top of the league eight weeks in, then they will start to take notice.

Been having this debate on Facebook, and although I can understand there argument about it losing a few fans from the actual stadium to watch on the TV, I do think the money given to us and the exposure for the club (especially if we do well in the match) is much better than not being on TV. They have 21 Championship fixtures in that list, an opportunity to show all 24 teams, obviously some only once but they neglect 3 but show SIX teams 3 times including Leeds who have also a League Cup game.

Above is finishing positions (with Premier League teams taking 1-3, and League 1 promoted teams taking 22-24)...



To the right is amount times shown.
I don't know how they can seriously think that showing teams that finished mid table 3 times above some that finished higher than them - with them being shown once, if not at all like in our case.
Even away from home? Surely we could easily have had an away fixture away if they don't like to come to GP because of the facilities.

Oh, and although Sky is around the corner from us, they are also around the corner from Leeds. They have a base there too.
