I'm privileged. I live in the Republic of Bergen (just outside Norway) and got the opportunity to stream most of the Middlesbrough matches. But I've checked how many times my beloved Middlesbrough have been on telly this season, compared with other teams. And it's a scary reading. Is Derby and NF the new Leeks???

Reading 9
Derby 8
Nottingham 8
Bournemouth 7
Brentford 7
Cardiff 7
Norwich 7
Coventry 6
Swansea 6
Watford 6
Birmingham 5
Bristol City 5
Stoke 5
QPR 4
Preston 3
Blackburn 2
Huddersfield 2
Middlesbrough 2
Rotherham 2
Sheffield W 2
Wycombe 2
Barnsley 1
Luton 1
Millwall 1

Do you see those on Norwegian telly or Bergenian telly?
 
Well we are on 2 next month against Norwich and Birmingham. If our promotion run continues be on alot more end of season. It's good in a way as being on TV adds pressure for player's
 
Derby and Forest have the highest average attendances of the teams still in the Championship, it's probably taking potential audience in to account.

The teams that drop usually get a lot of matches selected for TV too.

Brentford are well known for being entertaining and are a bit of a media darling now.

It doesn't explain why we have so few games selected, but it does explain why they have so many.

It's a travesty that there's such a vast difference between the top and bottom of that table. Some teams being shown 8 or 9 times and others only once - that does seem really unfair.

Having said that, I can't argue with the bottom three on the list - who in their right mind would ever want to watch them?? ;)
 
No it’s all lies take that chip of your shoulder there’s no issue here all clubs are treated the same.



This is the stock answer I get when I highlight similar issues btw
 
Derby do get the full sky loving and have since Lampard.

I guess we should be 'grateful' that Leeds went up. They were on TV that many times that even their own fans turned on sky for strange kick off times making travelling almost impossible.

I can understand it in the prem. All these foreign countries want to see UTD/Liverpool etc. You'd think in the EFL that the games should be split up evenly. What's the difference from watching Derby or Luton? I'd say nothing in the grand scheme of things.
