From Blues at the end of October to Newcastle on 20th Feb we will have had 9 of 10 away games on Sky. The only one not on in that time is Cardiff. That is ridiculous.

No Saturday 3pm away game between 1st October and 4th March. Over five months!

Still on Saturday 4 February, Forest is now a 5.30pm kick off.

Bugger, I was hoping for a 3pm so that I could go to the Richard Herring gig at Nottingham Playhouse in the evening. Doubt that I can make it across town in time now

Proves we're the biggest club/attraction in this league if nothing else, am sure Newcastle and Norwich don't get such exposure.

Newcastle and Leeds are on a lot aswell but this run of away games for us is mental.

We've had one 3pm Saturday game at Newcastle since December 2005.

Brighton v Leeds will be the 5th straight Leeds game to be live on TV. Then our home game is live and they have a couple more in Jan. I wonder what percentage of live Division 2 games so far have featured us, Newcastle or Leeds.

Sky showing us play Leeds twice in less than a month is crazy.

I was going to go to one of the Forest or Newcastle matches, but I can't do an 8pm on a Monday night. Hopefully I will be able to get a ticket for Forest.

Be interesting to see who gets the largest viewing figures, us, Leeds or Newcastle.

Big club fans  have to deal with this sort of thing.

Do Sky have to show each team a minimum number of times?

At least it's only our away games being changed, imagine the uproar if it was all of our home matches.

We'll end the season having been on telly twice or three times more than last season. I wonder how the TV money will compare.

We'll only get 2000 for Forest, will sell out in a couple of days.

One of the things I didn't get in the "what won't you miss about the premier league" threads over the summer was posts saying at least we wouldn't get TV messing about with our games.

We've been on more than we would if we'd stayed up.

Newcastle away on a Monday is ridiculous....Sky could easily show it on the weekend as they don't cover the FA cup anymore.

Leave the City ground a few minutes earlier and you should be back in the city centre in 10 minutes, plenty of buses along that route.

Part of me thinks Sky still have a hard on from the 4-3 classic in 96 and they're also annoyed one of the few they didn't show was when Bowyer and Dyer squared up.
