Joe Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 DCFC website shows Forest away live on sky at 12:30pm on Saturday January 22nd and Birmingham at home moved to Sunday 30th January with a 1:30pm kick off, first I have seen of this.

Rather than help pay the debt off, the extra income is more likely to help keep us going and is why, although we may not like these awkward kick off times and days, for the time being we should put up with it rather than sing derogatory songs about Sky.

At least Sky are confident we will still be around at the end of Jan. I wonder if they have an old highlights package on standby just in case?

Ambitious Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I wonder how many of our games have been on Sky so far this season, including for midweek games, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 7 or 8 - so over a third of games this season.

Completely agree. I thought there was a fee, but didn't know how much. Every penny helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the here and now all very good. In the long term, how many people is it putting off getting a season ticket, costing clubs a lot of revenue?

I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure we can afford to be worrying about the long term given the circumstances EtoileSportiveDeDerby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wistaston Ram Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 At least it's not another Monday evening game, they are the worst. I can just about cope with a Sunday game although I know it's tough for some of our more long distance fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the deforestation game, but instead of the Radio Derby coverage in the background it'll be the Bullseye music and Jim Bowen saying "look what you could have won!" ?

BramcoteRam84 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I’ve noticed since our predicament the sky coverage of Derby is about as favourable as I can remember, probably since the 13/14 season when even Don Goodman loved us!!! We’re now the plucky underdog and let’s face it with Bournemouth and Fulham running away with it the automatic promotion race could be wrapped up quickly, which leaves the playoff race and potentially us if we can get a run together as the main stories for the second half of the season.

Hey my Darling Fayette, Where are you going with those balls of wool? asked Fayettes Husband, There's an Execution at The Avenue des Champs-Élysées and i'll do some knitting before they drag those Royals to their deaths...I just hate those nuts they sell.

Cricket (whether you like it or not) is a national sport which was handed to them and denied access for millions. They even dub crowd noise onto their coverage (why?)
