            Really thought I had a good chance of seeing the QPR game on holiday, hey ho. End of the day, can only assume that when we are on the viewing figures are crap.0

            When were Leeds last in the Prem? 2004???? How many other clubs would still fill the Jimmy Seed like they do 11 years later?
 Unpleasant, but huge club in the end of the day.4

            2nd favourites to be relegated not being shown live shock5

            Bizarre considering that Leeds were mid table last season having sold their best player McCormack, and have shown no signs that they will be serious promotion contenders or even that they will play particularly good football.
 I'm just glad that the Hull game wasn't shifted to the Sunday as I'll be at the Oval!1

 Leeds are probably the biggest club in the Championship, whereas we are one of the smallest, hence Sky's decision .3

            Wouldn't it be nice if, when they do want us, we held out for more money or told them to feck off! Not as if we have much to lose, is it?

            Do people in Leeds even know electricity has been invented let alone TV?3

            Are we any worse of a draw than Rotherham v Burnley? Is an opening weekend London derby against a newly relegated team that are always in the news likely to be less interesting than Brighton v Forest? Sorry I just don't buy into that, we were the 13th best supported team in the league last year, and we finished 12th, we are certainly not "one of the smallest" by any means.
 As for relegation odds being any kind of indicator, as previously mentioned Rotherham are on, and not even in a derby game with the massives.
 We lose out on the money Sky pay and less exposure means less advertising income, so whilst I understand it may be inconvenient to have to get to the game three hours early and that our notoriously poor displays on TV seem to be some kind of hoodo (they are not) the club really suffers from this clear bias against us - look at the year we won League 1 when they decided to show all our quota in the first half of the season, including the shittiest kick off time of the year - tea time on new years eve.
 There are lots of ex-pats like me and people who don't get to the games regularly, and I think we (the club) deserve a fair crack of the whip.
 Of course looking at the opposition in run in, it maybe that from mid March we are on every other week, but I doubt it.
 Even my Leeds supporting mate out here agrees that they are not good to watch.7

 Its obvious that when we are on, the neutrals do not watch us and I would make the assumption that the neutrals are not interested in QPR either.
 But, when we are top of the league at Xmas, with an 18 point lead, are also in the FA cup semi final by April then we will be all over Sky, and the supporters who have abandoned or sceptred isle will be happy. ;o)1

            To be fair to Sky, half the people on CL, don't go regularly to Charlton.
 So if they aren't that interested .........4

            I assume sky want the ratings to attract advertising revenue, and the viewer has to pay a subscription as well as endure the advertisements. Win win for sky, and money for the Premiership so their clubs eventually create a closed shop by default.
 Glad I go elsewhere or thieve the coverage on the internet rather than pay sky any money. If I subscribed, the feeling would be a bit like a vegetarian eating in McDonald's0

 I wasn't thinking so much about our absence but more about the excessive coverage of LeedsGreenie said:

 They may be the biggest club, but they are also probably the least liked by everyone else in the division! They don't have a famous manager who might attract the neutrals, or been recently relegated from the PL either.

 Sone of Algarves post was more in reference to ex pats, however I wonder how many of our games will be available on the internet?Covered End said:To be fair to Sky, half the people on CL, don't go regularly to Charlton.

 Does any one know how we find out?0

 Taking your point entirely Greenie - but why not put on Charlton v Leeds or Charlton v Derby if that opposition is so attractive, rather than Charlton v Ipswich as they did last year?Greenie said:

            Would be great if the top 5 at the beginning of October were the teams Sky have ignored!!!3

 Hmmm, fair point. I wonder if their is any info available on which teams get the bets or worst viewing figures, I assume that Ipswich would get a fair few, certainly more than us.Algarveaddick said:

 Not many more though - they only averaged a 1000 more than us in a season where they made the play offs...Greenie said:
