Not so good for those of us who can’t get to games. Means either getting up at 2am or missing games entirely. In the current form it’s most likely going to be missing games. Current form = a 2-0 victory. |

Current form = a 2-0 victory. Thats fair, and I actually was able to watch that one because it was on Sky. Let’s hope the trend continues! Will also be sble to watch tomorrow’s game because it’s broadcast. |

Yeeeeehhhhhaaaaa ! - Finally after a night oh hell on booking.com I’m booked up for a long weekend in ma favourite English town of HUDDERSFIELD... Pure stress though trying to get the great deal that was on offer with that mob but got there in the end but the stress has driven me to a 3am dram and bottle of Magners (which should really at that time actually be in a boozer in Huddersfield) ! Anyway - Bring on the Swansea City now !!! Hi Westie. You will be able to use the George Hotel again in the next year or so as it opens again, at long last , as a Radisson right in the centre of Town. how long has that place been closed now? |

Hi Westie. You will be able to use the George Hotel again in the next year or so as it opens again, at long last , as a Radisson right in the centre of Town. how long has that place been closed now? I know. Absolutely disgraceful particularly as it is centred around wonderful buildings and in the Town’s main square. Best news for years for our town centre I think. |

Anyway - Bring on the Swansea City now !!! Hi Westie. You will be able to use the George Hotel again in the next year or so as it opens again, at long last , as a Radisson right in the centre of Town. This is where I stayed for ma first two Town matches overton back in November 2010 - it was handy for ma first time in Huddersfield till I got to know the place a bit better... we lost the Saturday game 0-1 to Exeter City and we hit the woodwork three times - I went on to Abgindon to see a girl I know that grew up here on Sunday and Monday and came back up for the Tuesday evening game again in The George I stayed... I remember having to wait in Milton Keynes 45 minutes for ma change of bus (not much scenery in that place) and at the bus station their fans were so F#ckin cocky about how they would anialiate ‘The Dog Botherers’ (Town I presume) - well we anilaiated them 4-1 that night - they never knew yet that I was a Huddersfield Town fanatic as I wasn’t sure about wearing HTAFC gear in their town that day but I had the last laugh with that result ! I haven’t read The Examiner for a bit but they used to have quite a bit about the goings on with The George Hotel - it will be great for Huddersfield to have it open and operational once again - and though I’m first and foremost a footy fan, I’d like to see The Rugby League museum in The birthplace of Rugby League ! |

What you mean is they're realising they overpaid and thats why there were no competitor bids, and they won't go in so high when the auctions open next year.
With the EFL also pushing to televise *ALL* games, it looks like they're desperately attempting to wring the dwindling value out of the Championship. Nobody really cares other than the fans of the clubs involved. Hudds v Burnley was an oddity as it was the first game of the season, which always does well.
The thing is, there's no real value that Netflix / Amazon or BT could turn either, so likelihood if anything is more fragmented club based approach, where games are made more available on the likes of iFollow to fans of the teams.
"The days of Leeds, Villa, Fulham and Nottingham Forest swelling viewing figures have gone with their promotion to the top flight." 😂 I guess the viewing figures will be swollen again next season!?

Its all down to losing Fulham's massive fan base.  EFL will be going it alone and streaming the games themselves. |

I don't really enjoy watching Town on TV, come to think of it I am not that keen on going in person right now.

Town v Burnley was attractive for a lot of reasons. Newly relegated club vs one that just missed out. Historically a decent Derby fixture, Kompany taking charge of his first game, nice summer’s evening guaranteeing a decent crowd etc. etc. Nottingham F being attractive to Sky viewers is a myth peddled on the back of their best season for 20+ years. Leeds Utd, can’t really argue against that one, they’re a big draw for a lot of people, even though they’re a fecking dead loss to us. |

Too much of it on telly, said it before but nomatter how much we are a football loving nation its overkill, years ago a match on the telly was something we looked forward to, we'd get stuff done and try and make an effort to watch, now its all a bit 'meh'. |

The market is too saturated as you say, you only have to go into a local pub to see it. The place I watch football you used to be stood shoulder to shoulder a few years back, but now (even for what would be considered more "popular" games) it's dead. I think it was Jamie Redknapp who came out recently saying that kids don't watch enough football as they grow up, or as much as they used to anyway, despite it being on all the time - I know I don't watch anywhere near as much anymore. |

Sky are responsible for the falling interest in football outside of the Premier league, due to the coverage they dedicate to it and the poor coverage that they give to the Championship and other leagues.

Theres a match most Fridays, Saturday lunch and Sundays. Plus midweek and red button. How much coverage should they give them? |

If Sky are dumping the EFL it will be because a lot of people are dumping Sky. Can imagine there will be a fair few using it as a way to pay for higher mortgages/energy costs at the minute.

For Sky football is the Premier league don't you know it didn't exist before the Premier League was formed. The Championship is just a space filler for when they have no Premier League games to show. The coverage I meant was not the games but the interest they generate for the Championship and Leagues 1 & 2. |

I've never ever seen as much coverage for the bottom three divisions as in recent years, non league coverage too with a game being shown most weekends, im not saying peoples gripes aren't genuine but the coverage is first class, even though it is premierleaguecentric. |

I have to agree. I don't know what people want. Unfortunately, your average armchair PL fan doesn't know or care about any club outside the elite. I don't think the numbers for EFL games are ever going to be high. They do pick weird matches though. So many don't seem to have any logic. |

I dont know the reasons but maybe they try give teams fair coverage, but at the same time its natural teams nearer the top are going to get more exposure. |

Every team in the Championship has to be shown at home twice I believe. However just like the PL, the bigger teams/teams near the top will get picked more. Always been the case, always will be

Because as an ex recent PL team we have the mandated leased line uplinks that mean there’s no need for the expensive satellite outside broadcast trucks to turn up. Remember the days when a televised game meant a load of trucks in the car park and extra cabling strung dangling across the corner of the stands. No longer is it a rigging job to host a game. |

Used to piss myself watching them struggle to take their equipment up that shit, thin, rickety ladder Went to a televised Town match away at Bradford once. Sold out away allocation and people sitting in their allocated seats - we had a group of about 8 seats. Except after 7 seats, they'd removed the seat (and I think a couple more to the end of a row) and built a little camera stand in its place! Cue mates dad (whose seat it happened to be) getting angry with a steward who couldn't really do anything - think he ended up just watching stood on some stairs or something. |
