Not missed a home game all season..You are quite correct that season ticket holders may not turn up, I didn't because I can't do weekday game, so my revenue is collected anyway. But I am not spending probably 20/30 quid on the tills either, which is more than my season ticket matchday price. How many of me are in the same situation? I hate our fixtures being moved, I haven't missed a Saturday home game this season, but when they start f'cking with the dates they f'ck with mine and many more people's plans. If we were making a significant profit from these televised games, as the Prem teams do, then fine, but we aren't.

Dont spend anything on the overpriced crap on the concourse.......cant drink have to drive,
I've said it before and I'll say it again, despite their owner being a complete buffoon I can understand the reasons behind this. Championship clubs are making nothing out of these live games from what I can gather, it is a total shambles.
Errr......they make about £250k a game.
Is that the match fee plus the share of the tv deal allocated per club?
Not sure itll improve if he wins though. He will just get his own way and negotiate a.separate tv deal which if anything would lead to more changes.
He's not going to though. I do have sympathy for his view but he's going the wrong way about changing: the argument is with the other clubs in the FL who have signed the agreement. If he doesn't want to go along with the FL agreement, that's fine: resign membership and negotiate a separate TV deal for their Northern Premier League games. Or, alternatively argue the case for individual rights at the next FL meeting.
But accepting membership of the FL and then trying to weasel out of commitments makes him appear like a complete cockwomble
Even though Leeds's commitments seem considerably more than the rest of the division ? Seems like they're on almost every other week, its almost become a standing joke.

Yes. In this case (and in this case only) go Leeds go!
Hmmm.... the Leeds owners might not be the sort of people we want involved with our football, but if they can take on Sky about shoving matches to all sorts of inconvenient times for the fans, just to fit in with their TV schedules - then go, Leeds, go!Don't understand why people support the idea of Leeds being able to negotiate their own contract? Most people moan about the fact that the lions share of tv money goes to the premier league. Would it be better if the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool etc negotiate their own deal as happens, I believe, with Barcelona and Real Madrid. If it happens, it will just widen the financial gap between the haves and have nots.
edit: Of course GT49er might be referring to the Monday night match but that isn't clear!)

Is that when one takes into consideration the lost revenue from merchandise and bar sales from the reduced attendance?Errr......they make about £100-120k a game.
Just checked my research notes. It's £100-120k as the match fee. Varies according to kick off time.
So that whichever tv company Leeds sign a contraxt with to show their games can.shaft fans by moving games around instead?

Any chance you could post exactly what the fees are for the different kick-off times? I've looked for this info online in the past and never been able to find it.
