Matches moved for TV 2023/24

[Spudulike]

Just renewed our season tickets but unsure how many games we'll actually get to given the way that broadcasters move them to midweek without a thought or care for travelling fans. Weekends are fine for us but don't know how many we'll get. 

 

Not sure if there are any stats to show how many times teams got moved last season in the championship for broadcasting.

Imagine we'll play a lot of games on Friday nights and Saturday midday.

I'm putting a stop to this

Can't wait for Top's statement in 2026.
 

"It seems a long time ago that we brought you those special nights under the lights against Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesborough and Sunderland to name a few.

 

We're still not sure how we were relegated to the National League, but rest assured that Jon and Susan are hard at work trying to figure out what is going so wrong.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

As an aside, be sure to check out Jon's new band at the arena. He assures me it'll be a sell out, so grab those tickets quickly."

Just hope the players can put up with the rigours of weekend/midweek.

[Nugent]

Probably 15 times at a minimum based on the number of times these teams were shown last season:

 

Sunderland - 21 (inc play-offs)

Blackburn - 19

Burnley - 18

Sheffield Utd - 16

West Brom - 15

Plymouth away will be midweek guaranteed

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Don't they have a few mid-day kickoffs on Sundays too? This is going to be depressing.

How is West Brom only 15? They seemed to be on tv every time I turned it on. ON EVERY CHANNEL.

I understand that the midweek games and early kick-offs present issues for those going to the games but from a purely selfish POV, it's one of the only highlights of dropping to the championship. 

 

I actually cancelled my SS subscription mid season last year because we where barely being shown. I don't have time to watch random games, I have a young family and the only things I watch on Sky sports that I'll deliberately set aside time for are Leicester and the Dallas Cowboys so when the NFL season ended and our games weren't being shown I struggled to justify the expense. 

 

Next year though, I imagine we will feature far more. Similair to Burnley that season gone. SKY showed close to half their league games so if we get anything like that, I'll happily re-subscribe. Not to mention the NFL season starting back.

I had no idea so many championship games were on TV. I was looking forward to loads of Saturday 3pm games.

Not sure of the specifics of iFollow, but I think the club can stream all games internationally. This will be good news as there will always be streams for Saturday 3pm games. I think all midweek rounds are shown by sky on the red button

That was hopefully going to be one of my highlight weekends away when warm and sunny 🌞

Speaking to my Stoke supporting mate, be shocked at the quality of the Sky games on the red button which aren't main selections. It's very basic.

It’s just one camera.

This is for last season, but guessing it will be similar.

The very few times I put a match on via the red button it seemed to be in SD as well.

Yes and there is also no replays shown although the commentator will often mention what they are seeing replayed

You sure that ain't because he's watching Stoke?
