Simple maths question?
What am I missing?
Sky advertising 215 live PL matches next season and 80% of total.
My maths is 20 clubs playing 38 games each and 2 clubs per game.
Therefore 38x10=380. That’s a long way from 80%. In fact I get less than 60%
Put me right.

Maybe it’s 80% of those that can be shown live on tv in UK, so excludes Saturday 3pm kickoffs.

Re: Simple maths question?
What it means is that games shifted to a Sunday because of clubs playing Thursday in Europe will now be televised. So, as an example, under the new deal we’d have had both Man U v West Ham and Spurs v Palace on tv today.
It shouldn’t reduce the number of Sat games at 3.
No Prime either next season.

Re: Simple maths question?
By my calc it should be about 11 matches each on Saturdays at 3pm, assuming an even spread, which it isn’t. So we may get 14, 7 at home and 7 away.
Makes it really difficult to buy a season ticket when living a distance away with other commitments, school on Fri/Mon and poor public transport on Sundays.
Then you have clubs like Brentford and I think Leeds who insist on STH attending a minimum number. All becomes very untenable.

Re: Simple maths question?
Has that become a thing in the UK? I’ve only heard Americans say math, strange people that like to be different.

It's called vocal fry. Apparently, the term to describe it has been around since the 60s. Gained in usage over the past decade by reality TV 'stars' and TikTok 'influencers'.
