Ambitious Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Quote There are eight rounds of midweek Sky Bet Championship matches this season and Sky Sports Football will broadcast matches live on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. And as part of a brand new service, Sky Sports viewers will be able to press the red button and watch live coverage of ANY of the matches being played. That means you'll be able to watch YOUR team live when they play in midweek, no matter which Sky Bet Championship club you support. Subscribers will also be able to access the live matches via the Sky Sports app - and Soccer Special will also show the best moments from all of the games live on Sky Sports News.http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/11453079/sky-bet-efl-on-sky-sports-follow-championship-league-one-and-league-two-in-201819 I guess that means: Derby v Ipswich Derby v Blackburn Derby v Norwich WBA v Derby Stoke v Derby Sheff Utd v Derby Derby v Middlesbrough Ipswich v Derby Derby v Stoke Blackburn v Derby Will all be viewable from Sky. Obviously, the majority of people will be at the home games already, but it's worth mentioning. I wonder how this works with RamsTV? Do they lose the ability to air these, despite the fact these aren't technically featured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 That’s pretty handy, I have a season ticket again this year but midweek games are a complete no go. (Although the missus is looking at changing shifts at work, I need to boo Rowett in person) Sounds like you just need to be subscribed to Sky Sports which I am, so won’t miss a game.

Maybe sky are taking the feed from Ramstv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I am hoping this isn't true is it? I understood tghis doesn't apply to overseas supporters who have purchased the full viewing package! Can someone please clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please clarify. no clear message, but I don't think there is a full package this year and it is a game by game payment. Either there is still some uncertainty or they can't be bothered to keep us informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorsforthRam Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 And the affect on attendances and atmosphere at the matches? Can’t see there being much away support for teams and probably only season ticket holders going to home matches. Personally, don’t like the way it’s all headed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 It says there are 8 rounds of midweek Championship matches, and yet @Ambitious you list 10...I’m not sure every midweek game will be available, rather a selection of the games over the season. There may be other midweek games too as matches are moved due to Cup involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Ram Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 These countries are exempt from all of the UK SKY televised games restrictions on Rams TV: https://www.dcfc.co.uk/page/ramstv-availability-for-tv-games?nocache=1 In the list of games affected by TV on the DCFC website, no 'normal' midweek games league games are listed as affected. The only one is the WBA game, that has been previously listed as a SKY main game. Hope that helps. I wonder if midweek games on SKY will be free but a fiver on the DCFC site?

1967Ram Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I don't have Sky. I stream Sky Sports using Now TV. Any ideas about whether I'll be able to watch these games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if it's on the red button, you'll be able to watch it on RamsTV. I have no idea what Sky are planning in terms of production around each game, but with RamsTV you'll get a proper programme: pre-match build-up, interviews, highlights, commentary etc etc. I'd be staggered if they are able to offer anything like that.
