Midweek. Will that also mean games will be moved from our normal tuesday to wedenesday or possibly even thursday followed by a sunday game. Looks like the only change will be that a small number of games that would have been 3pm will now be 12.30 (there may of course be the odd outlier like the Salford / Crawley scenario but that can always happen). The headline (20 times live) is a bit misleading really as it makes looks like we'll be on TV a fair bit more, but if it had said "20 games can be watched legally", then we were probably very close to that this season anyway.

For anyone interested (and as I'm bored), I reckon you could (legally) watch us 21 times in the League last season, broken down as follows:
Planned midweek - 6 (1 on Sky) Bank Holiday - 5 International - 4 (1 on Sky) Midweek (postponed Saturday) - 3 Moved Fixture - 2 Last Game - 1
So Sky's "20 live games" thing probably includes the 18 of those above (discounting the Midweek postponements) but adding the first game and then a couple of extra that will be moved to 12.30.
----------------------------------------------------------------
1 Bradford Midweek
2 Wimbledon International
3 FGR Midweek
4 Harrogate International
5 Crewe Midweek
6 Colchester International
7 Salford Midweek
8 Notts Moved 9 Barrow X-Mas
10 Bradford X-Mas
11 Mansfiled X-Mas
12 Crewe Midweek
13 Gills Midweek - PP
14 Salford Midweek - SKY
15 Crawley Moved
16 MK International / Sky
17 FGR Easter
18 Wimbledon Easter
19 Colchester Midweek - PP
20 Notts Midweek - PP
21 Wrexham Final Game

Given Alty got him from Fleetwood, and we've got a bit of a record of signing players from there (Rydel, MSH, Madden), I wonder if he was ever on our radar? Said it 18 months ago when I first saw him that I'd like him here, I still maintain that.

Especially as he's a young player coming off a very good season and is very local to us.

Realistically he isn,t going to kick a ball for ipswich and will have limited opportunity with portsmouth. If he is any good really and we think he could do a job for us we are in equal running though with the others. Depends what he wants. More regular starts or a big pay cheque.

Not sure why I’m getting that vibe, but it looks like his bags are packed and he’s ready to leave the Shire on his way to the Misty Mountains…

Any saving i did make on a mid week home game in fuel costs for taking last years stream price has now gone so i might as well face more night driving and road closures next season as fuel costs will be less than what they will be charging. Just not interested in any other random game we are not playing in unless its the PO. At least i,ll be getting more value from my ST.

I’m sure I munched my way through an early morning Pot Noodle at Jilly’s whilst listening to Down By Christmas…

Sure I read that clubs can still stream all matches for overseas supporters. Just be in Japan one week, USA the next etc., and you can still do it ad hoc.

Some more info on the Sky stuff from The Athletic. I guess we better get used to Friday night, early Saturday and Sunday lunchtime games.
Each weekend will have 10 live EFL matches, half of which will be from the Championship. These will be screened outside the 2.45pm to 5.15pm period on a Saturday that remains blocked under Article 48 of UEFA’s statutes, whereby member nations can select a two-and-a-half-hour weekend slot that sees live football banned from broadcast to protect attendances.
This means there will be 26 games in the traditional 3pm slot each Saturday across the EFL. However, the blocked period does not apply to the opening weekend, so they will show games at that time.
Six games will be shown in the Saturday lunchtime slot, and the rest will be split between Friday night and Sunday lunchtime. Sky Sports are not currently thinking about adding any other kick-off slots.
