we are always rubbish when on the box, so good.
but if its true, it also shows the real clever people like the ones at sky aint falling for the old championship favourites chestnut like the bookies are.

Crap games in August and September but we should be on a couple of times in October, if we have a good start.

The problem with televised footie for clubs like ours, especially in the winter is that you get lazy fans who would rather stay in and watch it on the box rather than go to the games, i understand away games but not home games.
The only positive for televised games is when you have to work so would not make it in time for the game or if travel restricts you.

Also the bigger games they usually show are ones when support is needed, so it's just not an excuse.

maybe finances or other committments come into the equation for some fans - doesn't make them lazy does it?

Nice one. Train tickets getting booked for the first couple of away games this weekend.

I can see what you are saying Casual, but for someone like me i have to pick my games now because of family, mortgage etc so live games are a bonus for me. From the age of about 12 til 32 when my oldest was born i went all over the country to see Rangers play, places i would prob of never visited had it not been for QPR. I used to be in a mood for days when the R's lost( yeah very frequant i know!) and i spent all my dough on Rangers and boozing at games. I dont say that to try and be clever, its the truth. But now i have two little girls i just cant afford to go week in week out, i prob only go to 10-12 games a year now if im honest.
Sorry for my life story but wanted to get my point across.

Ok wrong word and i'm the same, i used to pick and choose my games due to travel, money & commitments etc, it's just this season i have bought a season ticket so i suppose i have a diferent outlook.
When i did pick and choose though, not once did i think i won't go as i can stay in the warm and watch the game as they're now showing it on TV. I am sure there are many fans which would though even if they did have the money or no reason not to, so i suppose it's these fans i'm getting at.
But everyone has a choice so hey, ho!

I see what your saying and i'm not getting at you, family always come first.

Hope so, BBC2 had really good coverage of Derby away last year, i suppose us winning 4-2 and it being such a great game helped, watched it whilst working at the same time.
