"We're Not Famous Anymore" seems Sky believes otherwise :lol:

Of course, you can add the Donny Rovers away Capital One Cup match to that list too!

Average attendances at ER for the Burnley & Sheff Wed games then which would have been decent crowds

Good old Sky, keeps our armchair fans happy & those who prefer to watch Leeds with a beer glass in their hand

12.05pm k/o for Derby away, yet another inconvenient early start from the Wolds :x

Never understand this "armchair fan" thing aimed at people that can't attend every game. Some people can't afford to pay the prices of going to a match or at least can't justify paying for it when other things are more important to their family.
Doesn't make a fan any less loyal or clued up on the club.
I know some people can't afford to go to games, i personally would seriously have to think twice about attending matches (particularly away games) should we ever reach the premiership

There is an alternative btw, ditch Sky which would save you plenty of dosh on a monthly basis. I couldn't afford both.
I rather watch Leeds live than pay Sky for the pleasure, my preference of course !

Oh i forgot you are a Sky employee so you would share a different opinion to myself

I can't afford either, so quite like it when I can catch us on telly. I try to get to 2/3 games a season at ER, but with travel and the fact that I work most weekends it's very difficult for me.

Hopefully in the future I'll have a job which pays well enough and gives me the flexibility for me to get to more games (and have sky too, preferably!).

Believe me mate, working for Sky has nothing to do with my opinion. I haven't always worked for them and my opinion was the same before.
Your point towards the cost of sky and going to watch live games just takes me back to my point about priorities.
Some people would rather pay for their kids etc to watch TV or take them out for the day than pay to watch Leeds on their own.
Again this doesnt prevent you from being as equal of a fan than someone who can afford a season ticket.
My original post was not about the equality of Leeds fans

As one of many Leeds fans running supporters clubs, nothing annoys us more than so many Leeds games being televised.
We are the losers as a section of fans would rather watch the game at home or in the pub, coach hire is expensive. You only have to look at the attendances in general when games are shown on the telly, 1000's more empty seats unless your club are in the premiership.
Unfortunately viewing football is geared for the armchair fans thesedays, early kick-offs are an inconvenience & annoying for those fans who travel to games.

Might not be for TV, but the game against Sheffield Weds (16th Jan) has been moved to a 12:30 ko.

Police moved it i suspect as they did last year. Still minor scuffles outside the ground at midday then, could have turned really nasty

Pay less than that to go see Newcastle! Despicable stuff and just because we have the biggest away following in the league.
