Will our game be on Sky?

Obviously after tonight the playoffs are the only thing left to sort out. Can’t remember from previous seasons how many games are shown across the Sky channels on the last day? Assume Sheffield and Luton games will be 1st choices and we’d be next. Anyone got any knowledge / memory of how Sky coverage works on the last day or when they announce the games?
 
There were only 2 matches live for the League One final day last weekend, with no other conflicting matches.

If it's the same for the Championship, then I'd say no.
 
It better be. I've been shanghaied to an 80s weekend in Butlins. There's rumours of Sky Sports being on somewhere, so I will disappear there.
It'll be the Sheff game I imagine but squeaky bum reports from the other games...
 
I suspect Sheffield Utd vs Fulham.

They might pick PNE v Boro as the other choice if they think we’re a better bet for top 6 than Luton. Who knows.
 
There was a short ad during the match last night for "championship final day" on Sky Sports Main Event on Saturday.

Probably just that they weren't 100% sure of the games they'd be showing at that point (given Forest Bournemouth was 0-0 at the time) but there might be a SSN style "goals from around the ground"?

If it's just 2 it will almost certainly be Luton and Blades.

We would but Sky execs will go for Luton as their win guarantees a playoff. Ours doesn’t.
 
Just the one game announced so far then by the looks of it.
I reckon they will pick Sheff Utd v Fulham ahead of our game, if they show a 2nd match?

Possibly as its not a 3PM Saturday game. Fingers crossed.

I don't think the time matters, they're only allowed to stream midweek matches in the UK according to the club website.

It'll definitely be on iFollow for those displaying as outside of the UK though

Ah ok cheers @TeaCider . That VPN stuff sounds complicated, might make do with listening to the commentary on BBC Tees.

Download Opera, it's a browser with a built in VPN that's very simple to use.

I wouldn't have a clue how to do it all manually either.

Nice one - cheers - done!
So you reckon I should be able to pay for the iFollow live stream from the Boro website on Saturday then?
Thanks for your help :)

I'm pretty sure, yeah, I've managed to do so for every match I've tried this season.

Lets you watch a match you wouldn't be able to get to whilst still contributing money to the club.

The option isn't available yet, mind, it usually pops up closer to the day.
