Pearl Ram Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Well I notice Sky have added two more of their games for broadcast, maybe Sky have leant on them and said they will lose revenue if they play. Could be a load of bolleau, but it wouldn't surprise me. We seem to be persona non grata compared to other seasons, and their commentators seem to be highlighting any negative they can towards the club, well, it comes across that way to me anyway.

DEL Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 We still might be on it but will see anyway. Early kick off then for forest away Saturday or Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California Ram. Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Leeds new owner specialises in media rights - presume he pointed out to Mel that this would not be the best advert for championship football value (meaningless friendly stripped of all the international players with no-one wanting to get injured in the middle of a promotion/play-off campaign) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I get why we were looking to do it, but it was a daft idea, playing against a fierce rival mid-season when both clubs were gunning for the playoffs, we need less games not more.

Agree entirely. Unfortunately it's another example showing Mel Morris's lack of judgement. The cause was worthy , the execution plain stupid.

Ewe Ram Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'd hazard a guess that many millionaires have had ideas that are 'just plain stupid'. It's non risk takers like me who remain full of ideas but skint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WharfedaleRam Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 After last Friday, maybe they wanted to play a more competitive team!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I suspect this was never a "real" game. More Mel stirring the pot a bit to get his points across to the League and to Sky. People like Mel often play a long game compared to us mere plebs. A bit of Sabre rattling to wake people up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you possibly make money with a crazy scheme like that? (Said someone at the time - who might have been me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
