We've been a Championship team for 5 minutes and the league already feels more disorganised.

No ticket details for a game 3 1/2 weeks away
No TV coverage details for a games 5 1/2 weeks away

Apparently the reason there's no news on Sheff Weds tickets is we're trying to sort out reciprocal pricing with them. Personally I prefer that than being more organised and they are already on sale at £40-50 a go which seems their usual rate.

Brentford at home also moved back a day to wed 14th sept

So out of our first 8 games of the season, 5 are on Sky. More popular than we were in the Premier League.

This was always going to happen.  Big fish in small pond syndrome.

Don't worry though, after 3 months when we're scrabbling around the lower mid-table we'll soon get binned for TV matches!!!  ;)

May well be the norm this season, unfortunately. Trouble is, it makes it difficult to sort 'cheap' travel out, the longer it drags on.

Disgraceful, if true. Hope they go down.

I certainly can't afford 45 pounds if that figure is true.  Seems like we might have to drop another division to get reasonable ticket prices ;)

It being the first game of the season, new era and a novelty and all that will likely see us shift the first couple allocations.

Robbing northern tossers. They're also fleecing their own support too.

Get used to it. 

We'll be a top category game for every single club this season and the pricing will be set accordingly.  Add in to that the fact that the further down the pyramid you go the more clubs rely on ticket prices to fund their operations and the 'paying more for a lower standard of football' argument/expectation doesn't hold.
