pinched from the EFL site. CHANGES TO CURRENT WAYS OF WATCHING Will matches still be available to watch via iFollow, or Clubs’ alternative streaming services? From the 2024/25 season onward, this new deal with Sky Sports will effectively replace the EFL’s domestic video streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services Audio services will remain alongside existing audio-visual arrangements for international audiences. PRODUCTION VALUES So will Sky Sports OTT mean single camera production like iFollow? The EFL and Sky Sports will continue to work together to innovate, seeking opportunities to improve coverage and take viewers closer to the action The EFL will be investing significantly in production infrastructure to enhance the viewing experience. Sky Sports will have a minimum of eight cameras for each game broadcast on existing channels A minimum of four cameras will be used at Championship and League One matches, and a minimum of two cameras in League Two For matches available to stream, Sky Sports commentary will also be provided Wonder what Owen Bradley makes of all this?

Radio Derby announcement. …………………Graham Richards is back to commentate on the run in! 👍🐏😁

Pinched from the local Peterborough Telegraph The entire lower section of the Posh end is sold out, a very small number of tickets remain in the blocks of Level 2 and the club has sold enough tickets to open the top three blocks of the stadium’s top tier. Wycombe, meanwhile, have sold considerably less and only saw the first block of Level 2 opened for their fans on Tuesday in the west side of the stadium. The top tier will therefore, will be largely empty, but for around 500 Posh fans. The opening of Level 2 means that Wycombe have sold just over 15,000 tickets, bringing the estimated attendance close to 38,000. …………………..no further comment required!

Love Puma stuff, best boots I ever wore. Bought my first proper Puma Eusebio boots from ex Derby player Ken Oliver who worked downstairs in the boot bit in Field Sports on the corner of Albert Street and the Morledge. ………………….I bloody loved em! 👍😁

Yep, passing to each other, balls into feet, good possession, I agree with Warne, they didn’t look right,

Thought we had a good twenty minutes. pass and move, balls into feet, give & go, looked sharp, one twos, plenty of movement, anyway ………then they all went in, pulled up their socks, came out again, the ref blew his whistle to kick off and that was that! 👍😁

My tickets arrived this morning for Carlisle, 3.00pm kick off, then changed to 12.30 by the EFL. …………….surprised I was!👍😁
