To be fair, as it says in that statement they will announce all TV matches up until January before the season starts.

So there will be increased notice for fans.

Sky pay more and more money so will expect more for their money - if you look at it from their point of view.

It would only stop if the clubs said no to the money, which won’t happen.

I agree, Ned; football sold its (proverbial) soul to the devil and the devil is Sky…

Most people accept that; just as they accepted the money received on our brief sojourns to the Premier League…

Plenty of notice given in reality and whilst I have sympathy with the travelling Borough support, we know it will happen to us at some point this season… :ayatollah:
