Bloody Sky .
Fully expect Wolves, Wigan, Norwich, Bristol City games to be picked!
Think Sky have 10 more games to pick from the Championship (2 of them will be on the final day) and 1 Fulham home game left (each team needs to be shown twice at home on sky). so basically 7 more non Fulham home games to pick for the rest of the season from Wolves, Wigan, Norwich, Bristol City - probably be 2or3 of ours, 2or3 of Huddersfield and 2or3 Newcastle !?!?!? I reckon they'll Probably leave the Wolves away game alone and televise the next 3 games Wigan Norwich and Bristol city.
Yeah suspect you are right. They won't want to miss the game in which a side gets promoted, so the later in the season ones more likely.

Interesting scenario. I've heard this before so expect it to be correct.
So only 7 more games allowed to show live.
14th April Wolves v BHA : Udders v PNE
15th April Newc v Leeds (100%)
17th April BHA v Wigan : Derby v Udders
22nd April Udders v Fulham : Newc v PNE : Norwich v BHA
23rd April Villa v Brummie (
?)29th April BHA v Brizzle : Cardiff v Newc : Brummie v Udders
That's 12 to pick from. Drop Villa Brummie it's 7 from 11.
Now, how would you pick and move?

Think Wolves and Wigan will be left along but Norwich and Bristol City will be shown on TV. I think last season that Middlesbrough, Burnley and Albion were all on TV on bank holiday weekend. Fully expect that to be the case for us, Huddersfield and Newcastle this season (although no idea what day we'll play). Similarly, Norwich will also be moved but no idea when to.

Let's hope that if they pick Derby v Hudds, they make it the early game, so that we know the outcome before ours.
Edit -Bugger - announced as 5pm.
That's a shame. I'd long since dreamt of a massive Amex celebration at full time in the Bristol City game. That is now that much more unlikely. Shame.
