I didn't realise game was 3pm...

All opening day Championship fixtures are getting shown live on Sky+ so I assumed that meant everyone was kicking off at 12:30 (except the games shunted about for the main Sky service on say, Friday etc).

Previously there has been a total blackout for domestically televising non-bank holiday Saturday fixtures between 3pm and 5pm. Sky must've finally managed to get the blackout diluted for the opening day. Surely it'll only be a matter of time before a broadcaster gets the blackout totally lifted and televising games at 3pm on Saturday will become the norm.

Yes, and probably will move to a daft time like noon or 8pm...

There's virtually a 50% chance of a Saturday fixture getting shunted back or forward anywhere up to+/- 24hrs too. I think the midweek games are the only ones you can safely plan for cos they are all on TV anyway.

Hopefully Sky will be fixated by the relegated teams and the two Hollywood teams and leave us with plenty of Saturday 3pm's.
