Frankly Mr Shankly Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Both Sheffield clubs ? And Scunthorpe (if you're going off the Rochdale Road Enders for your geographical placement of clubs anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Oldham. I wish to retract my statement about the West Riding. It turns out that Huddersfield and Leeds have both won the League 3 times and the FA Cup twice, so Leeds are only the joint biggest club in the West Riding. Although Halifax are on the up...

BigfinLatic Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sodding Fantastic..... Thats about it...

joncurtis199 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sky pick a League One game to air with Leeds in it. How shocking is that! Still, gets one of our league games on telly for a change, so can't complain really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I don't think we get any extra money from this, it's covered in the normal TV payments everyone gets. I think we do get an 'appearance' fee from SKY....pretty sure of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footy68 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 What was the last league game that we featured in live on Sky? Not including play-offs, I think it was a victory over Vale, although I don't remember the season....maybe 3 seasons ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard Dog Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Yes, 5 years back, this one, so we are overdue really. Just reading that article it states the Trust raised 500k...that reminded me about the amount of fund-raising they and many others did...phenomenal amount. Cracking effort which should not be forgotten. Back to the topic, did we not play Brentford in the league and that was on SKY only a few years back (we're still well overdue an appearance on the box for a League Game though!!)

footy68 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I think it was 5 March 2005 a 3v0 win which was harder than it seemed, an early Saturday kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The Vale game was the one with Eyres' 'pin-point' free kick from 40 yards with about 5 minutes to go. We are overdue a league appearance...and I find it particularly annoying that the ruddy Conference gets a game every week and if we're lucky we happen to be playing Leeds on one of the three weeks they're shown. Whilst of course the FL has to negotiate a contract as a whole, it seems L1 and particularly L2 clubs get a bit of a raw deal when it comes to live televising.

latic12345 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Personally I find it ridiculous we have signed up to this. We are away at Millwall, a promotion contender on the Sat. We will travel back Sat and perhaps back too late to train Sun. If we are playing Mon evening then there are no training sessions for prep between games with two of our promotion rivals. Disappointed we havent kicked up a fuss, even if it is worth approx £20k (amount for live league game). I just dont see how it will help us. A days break would have been great. Unless there are Prem games / /Champs League games that week, why cant we play on tues on TV. Silly decision. Hope it doesnt cost us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesnt cost us Look on the bright side... when Hughesy scores a hat-trick then gets sent off at Millwall, at least the game will take place within the 7 days before his suspension kicks in.... ...also, Leeds play Scunny on the saturday... not exactly an easy warm up for them before the game, and they will be in the same boat for lack of preparation... not as much travelling, however at least we are at home for the second game.... In terms of match prep, I'd imagaine the tactical set up will be reasonable similar for both.... except the whole dont get yourself killed pre-match talk at Millwall... just then need to tweak anything re: injuries... plus, we have a big squad, remmeber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
