Leeds United on Sky again this Saturday

[dangull]

Brighton get the average highest gates in the championships just ahead of Leeds, and the most expensive tickets as well. Why does this huge club not get more people for home games ?

I'll spell it out for anyone not getting it yet.

Sky are a BUSINESS.
Leeds have a very big FANBASE that will WATCH the FOOTBALL GAMES on the TELEVISION.

Ergo, Sky give Leeds MORE games.

I understand that it's very complex, but hopefully I've helped educate 1 or 2 people.

Nope, Bakero & Bob did that in posts 4 & 5.

Keep up at the back please!

Given that you went from having 6,000 at The Withdean to almost 30,000 at The Amex, maybe they think televising Brighton home games is a waste of time as the vast majority of fans are in the stadium? It doesn't explain your lack of away games on TV though.

It's the same with all the big clubs though, West Ham had more games on in The Championship 2 years ago than in The Prem last season!

Because they can watch all the games in tv.

...and they make a hefty profit.



Surely an opportunity to share the wealth amongst all the clubs in the league rather than handing Leeds a large cheque every couple of weeks.

Now there's an idea, sharing wealth among all instead of the few.

Hopefully, it just may catch on....
