And a fortnight before that, 12.15 all the way down to Yeovil.

It's getting beyond a joke now, to be honest. I mean, I'm not one to usually complain about Sky, and there's many fans relying on it for seeing us play, but we're just a mediocre team in this division! On Sky at Sheffield, on Sky the next week vs Leicester. 3 weeks break, on Sky at Yeovil, short break, on Sky at Boro and QPR. How many of these are of relevance to anyone outside these fanbases?

Are there rules regarding how many times a team can be shown on TV in the Championship? Surely there must be regulation or some of the smaller teams would never get on would they?

I've never seen any figures but I have to assume this is all because we are they biggest audience draw outside of the Prem. Hence whoever they want to show because of their performance in the Championship they wait for the game v Leeds! I too am getting fed up with it - just booked my train to QPR and it is going to involve me getting up at 5am.....admittedly that is to ensure I get a few hours in the pub before the game, but it is stupid o clock. As you say though it helps those who can't get to the games - apparently the Scandinavians love the 12:15 kick offs because they get to see them over there - the 3 o clock (our time) games are always saved for the Prem of course so we are never on at that time over there.

I was under the impression 3 oclock games are forbidden from being shown live on tv in the uk. That's why it's always 'This game has been moved to 12.15 to be shown on sky.'

3pm games are shown outside the UK of course - I was referring to Scandinavia who get Prem games, Only time they show Championship is when the times do not conflict hence the 12:15 which as you say also means they can be shown in UK
