End of season - Televised Fixtures?

penev10 · March 10, 2015

Anyone have any idea when the televised fixtures for the last part of the season are decided?

Want to go over to the Sunderland game on the 9th May but Sky haven't announced what games they're showing yet and don't want to book in case it's moved to Monday!

Just expect every Chelsea and City game to be televised. They do not even focus on the relegation fight as much as they should do. They hype them 2 teams up far too much.

The first leg of the Europa League Semi Final is the 7th May.

I don't follow your logic.

The relegation fight by definition will be contested by bad teams which don't score many goals.

The matches are of little interest to anyone beyond their own fans and fans of other teams down in the basement.

The top two teams involved in fighting for the title, by way of contrast, will be good teams which are likely to score a few goals and the interest in the title race is intense among most football fans in these islands and in many parts of the world.

It stands to sense broadcasters will focus more on Chelsea and City than they will on Burnley, QPR and Leicester.

If it was a choice between televising Chelsea v City or QPR v Burnley I know which one would draw in the biggest audience and provoke the most interest.

Gerrards last game at Analfield is against Palace. Looking forward to Crystanbul 2. Definitely will be on tv so there can be another RS fest praising Stevie G for being the greatest player of his generation, inventing the internet and finding cure for ebola.

I actually think this'll only be televised if a top 4 spot is still in the balance. Otherwise it'll be mainly focused on the title.

Tell you what, right now I hope our last game of the season isn't on TV.

It can only mean we are in trouble.

Happy for it to be totally ignored.

Well as things look there'll be a focus on spots 2-4 as well as the battle against relegation.

haha title going down to the last day - as if. city are average this season. 1 point ahead of arsenal atm, they could get suckered into the fight for top 4 if they're not careful.
