TBF thats not down to sky. The TV game was chosen within 24hrs of the draw being made. Don't know the reasons for the scheduling of the rounds but perhaps it could be looked at for next season, 3 months between the end of the group phase and last 8 but only 2 weeks between last 8 and semis probably isn't the ideal way to go.

You have no point. You've just been digging yourself deeper and deeper onto a hole.

Yes we are , you are saying that not enough notice is given of these matches , but this match was announced at the start of the 2008 season

Is that enough notice ?

We have a TV deal , it is for thursday nights only , we either want it or we dont

personally after 3 years I dont think it is of any benifit to us , and I would drop it as soon as we can

As an alternative I would be asking for a Monday night ' Highlights ' programme featuring a game from both divisions of the championship instead

It is though, on a Saturday or Sunday we would have taken a good 3 - 400 for the importance of the game and now we will probably scrape together getting 50.

I agree with Rover 83, the scheduling could be improved, but not much more. Its great that we are on tv every now and again, gives the club to get extra sponsorship on board.

Does it ?

It should do as more people will see the sponsors (hoardings/shirts).

Or doesn't it?
