Notts County vs Bradford has been selected for TV Imo that's abit of a piss take. Notts County will of had 2 games on TV already Edit - just seen it's also Bradfords 2nd game on TV. So they've picked a game where both teams have already been on TV this season Who wants to be on the telly? Not for a weekend game certainly They are very welcome to their 12 30 kick off🤮

Good article on the Reading situation which shows that an owner having deep pockets doesn’t count for much. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66291076As ever, whoever wants to buy the club is far better off waiting for it to go into administration so they don’t get lumbered with the debt.

Average attendance was a whopping 2,274. I'm so looking forward to being able to overtake that particular vanity project Are they at the AJ Bell from next season? We could get a really good allocation if so. I really hope we're not in the same division, they're already trying to create a rivalry and another year or two playing them and they're only going to get worse.

Only 17 teams can stay in that division each year. Most clubs will yo yo in and out at times. A club the size of Reading should really have been happy with that. I know I wouldn’t want us to ever become a Premier League mainstay.

They've hardly played any one above half way in the table, have a couple of their better players walking a tightrope with yellow cards, & don't appear to have any quality as backup, they'll be out of the top 3 by Christmas

It does make sense (although Notts might not be top by then) but I’d have gone for Franchise V Wimbledon if I was picking a League 2 game that Saturday. Accepting that sky don’t cater to my tastes

Sky’s criteria when choosing a match unfortunately doesn’t cater for many football fans tastes and what may constitute “a good match”
Understandable commercial decision but purely a case of potential viewing numbers and nothing else.

Exactly, its viewing figures and nothing else. Really would you show a game with little interest outside both teams fans over teams that have bigger names and more illustrious pasts. The championship games they show seem to either have one or both who only recently played in the premier league. Doubt we,ll see rotherham v plymouth on their schedule even if we prefer it to leeds v west brom.

The TV companies pay a fortune for the rights, of course they go for the games that will give them the highest viewing numbers, I’ve no idea why people get upset by this.

Its heart over head really unless games involving salford or wrexham are screened in the cup when there are more interesting games with better clubs or possible shocks to screen.

BBC are the worst for this; as soon as the Premier club enter the competition the remaining lower league clubs can more or less forget about a plum TV tie, unless of course they draw Man U. Be interesting to see who they choose in round 1, apart from the usual possible upset ties.
