    our fantastic start has made Sky doubt the wisdom of their decision not to show a live Barnsley game till the end of November?

    Surely any neutrals would love to watch us now, duffing up the big boy and scoring goals for fun.....

    Think they announce the games well in advance to be fair. No doubt sky are biased towards the so called bigger teams though, simply because more people will watch!

    As I've said before, we are nobody, not important, as shown when we are on the Channel 5 footy programme as one of the last to see.
    In a way I'd prefer that because we are under the radar but bouncing along, then at the end, god willing, they'll all say "we never saw that coming !"
    The one thing we don't want is to be on Sky..... and foul it up big time. Remember the home game against Ipswich a few years ago, conceding 5 goals at home !
    Let Leeds be the laughing stock for that.

    Well it's their own fault. Every week the usual suspects are on live, usually playing out a boring 1-1 draw. For the millionth time we have the delights of Cardiff City v Leeds today at midday... always a goal fest. I assume that match has been picked with policing requests in mind so it's an easy pick for TV. But I bet it's absolutely dull. The only haf decent game I've seen from the Championship so far was Burton beating Derby and even that was only 1-0. Our games are usually good value goals wise on Sky, not always in our favour mind.
