Not bothered myself. As long as they show 90 minutes of the match plus any injury time they can start and end the programme whatever time they want.

Seems a strange thing to complain about.

Some fans have seemed desperate for the media to talk up our chances all season, but it doesn’t matter to me. They have said nothing about us all season and, if anything, that will just make the promotion even sweeter if we go up.

As others have said, all that matters is they show the match.

5 mins would be enough, only need warnocks interview and team line ups.
Of the 15 mins I reckon 8 minutes at least is adverts.
The match itself is the most important, no need to worry about the build up, it’s usually just ex players talking crap anyway

Isn't it just partly to do with the late announcements of the games?

Some games are planned well in advance but this one has been slotted in late and the Forest game was one of the extra games they were allowed when the new Saturday evening slot was announced.

Exactly. Not much chance for Sky to pay a visit to interview players and to film and produce some packages for broadcast before the game.

Sometimes there is too much talking about the football. As someone has said, NW’s interview and straight into the game,would do for me.

Sorry but i an been told that the reason fulham getting a lot more coverage time than cardiff is because there games where planned a long time ago fulham v sunderland?and cardiffs games are been slotted into shedules the fact that we are 2nd and 3rd respectively has nothing to do with coverage just a bit of bias i think
