If we take the smaller allocation for Wolves they've always put us behind the goal but last season in the League Cup we got the side. Perhaps they knew they wouldn't need it.

When we play Wolves Villa and Forest have already had their games moved to the same time because of the Europa league. Don't really see the need to move our game as well? Like the Championship showing 3 games at 12.30 on a Saturday, just complete overkill.

Ours is the scheduled 2 p.m. kick off which Sky will use ever week, the other two are the additional games they can now show. Last season the other two, moved because of the Europa League, would have been played on the Sunday with no tv coverage. A game being moved for that reason is automatically shown now, that's what has happened with our Villa game.

That's how they are able to keep telling us how many games they are showing this season.

Being on TV always puts plenty off. Good chance we'll be struggling, unattractive game etc etc.

Most games are already on TV and if someone has a ST (16,000 or so) why would they choose to watch it on TV?

Doh!
