Death of the 3pm KO

[Abseits]

I just skirted through our fixtures to tot up the TV games..

We ended up kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday for 11 home games and 10 away games. So just 21 out of 46 games at the traditional time. That means 25 of our games were on live TV.

Could've been far worse cos Sky largely ovelooked us due to our lower table obscurity during the final third.

The season kicked off at 12:30 home to WBA on 1oth August but our first home Saturday 3pm KO wasnt until Portsmouth on 19th October.

We will receive approx £11m from Sky. Half of that is actual "TV" money and the other half is a solidarity payment from The Prem (so basically still "TV" money, just a bit indirect).

I despise the 12.30 ko's ...the games really lack any atmosphere
