EddardStark Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 From covering their game at home to Derby tonight. Chairman citing the amount of their home games being covered by Sky is having a negative impact on crowds and also on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrie21 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The price of selling out to the TV Giants i'm afraid. I'm sure he likes their money appearing on the credit side of the club bank statement every month so he has no say in when, where and who they play in a live TV slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Surely they will be fined by the league then? Part of overall league rules isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 When our game with Leeds last year had its KO time changed to midday (by the Police) when Sky had it scheduled to be an evening KO, we were threatened with a points deduction for failing to meet the contract requirement so it will be interesting to see if Leeds are warned/bullied in the same way. I would have a lot of sympathy for Cellino if this was about altering KO times & supporter inconvenience, but his view seems to be that "bigger" teams should get a bigger share of TV money because they suffer disproportionately from being televised.

Jersey Jim Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Is this for definite? Backed a Man City, Derby double tonight, only done it because both games were on live. Still listed on Sky Sports 1 at 19.45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's on Sky. Cellino just looking for headlines in their dispute with the League over how many games each club should be chosen for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Maybe if he his team started winning games the fans would come back as it is they are one of the best supported teams in the league.They have started to pick up points since evans went there but not enough wins yet.

ByronLoon1986 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Good on them standing up for there fans. Nae chance of that happening in Scottish football! Feel sorry for Celtic fans! Honestly... how much Saturday 3 oclock games do they have in a season?? Scotland aswell this Thurs, Fri, Sun, Mon night games at Hampden is pish and the crowds are only going to continue to drop!

Donaldo87 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Aye all good and well trying to stand up for the fans but at the same time they charge a fiver ontop of tickets automatically to use for food or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football's not for the fans anymore A nonsense argument imo. Dunno what the split is now but Rangers and Celtic are/were very well rewarded for playing games at ridiculous times, which all has a knock on effect to continued success, that the fans lap up. Fans could do something about it if they REALLY wanted and voted with their feet. They won't though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoofitharder Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 From covering their game at home to Derby tonight. Chairman citing the amount of their home games being covered by Sky is having a negative impact on crowds and also on the team. so he doesn't think it has anything to do with charging £38 for a cat A game which this one was and that is if you book in advance £42 on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 so he doesn't think it has anything to do with charging £38 for a cat A game which this one was and that is if you book in advance £42 on the day Plus as others have said scams like planning to charge for food on the match ticket. This battle isn't really about being pro-fan because his track record shows he exploits Leeds fans at every verse end. He just wants Leeds to get a bigger chunk of Sky money at the expense of anyone else. I'd honestly back the guy to the hilt regardless of it being Leeds if he just wanted to bring Sky down to size but bet your bottom dollar he'd kick off at 3am if the price was right. I haven't been to our away game at Elland Rd. for the last 2 seasons because of the ridiculous prices & won't go this year either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm going tomorrow. Love a day out at Elland Road. Always good atmosphere. £25 for my ticket in the East Stand is good value especially when you compare it to the prices in Scotland...

Always good atmosphere. £25 for my ticket in the East Stand is good value especially when you compare it to the prices in Scotland... That seems pretty decent. Shows you how these figures can be warped, as the price is quoted as £42 about 3 posts earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
