    Absolute disgrace, already have train booked and living in Manchester not sure how easy it will  be to rearrange. Still who cares about CAFC season ticket holders living outside the perceived catchment area.

    A year and a half of not being able to go to a match because of COVID restrictions and you book a holiday post COVID restrictions  to coincide with the new season ?…#walksawayshakingheadindisbelief

    Biggest club in the league playing at the valley on the opening day of the season was always going to be tempting for Sky.


    .I guess Sheffield Wednesday being there too helps as well.

    Would like to see viewing figures for L1 games on Sky. I can't imagine it's many

    Being on Sky will hinder those overseas who want to watch via Charlton TV, unless they mess around with VPN's and regions that are allowed to show it

    Really unfortunate, the Premier League kicks off a week after the Football League, so the chances of it being televised were higher than normal, although unexpected.

    I rarely book train travel now before Sky announce the games they are covering.

    Being on TV, how much additional revenue does the club accrue?

    Sky haven’t cared about football fans in England for a very long time. They’re certainly not going to care about fans of a third division club.
