Leicester have been on Sky the most since 2009 (play offs not included) along with Leeds, we've been on 11 times which is understandable considering most of the time we're not near the promotion places.

Coventry games on Sky drew an average audience of 320,000

Bradford games on Sky drew an average audience of 184,000

Sheffield United games on Sky drew an average audience of 259,000

Wigan games on Sky drew an average audience of 263,000

Barnsley games on Sky drew an average audience of 229,000

Portsmouth games on Sky drew an average audience of 263,000

So, if we stay near the promotion places then we are due a few more Sky games because Coventry City games are the most watched in the lower leagues.

Probably as nobody bothers to go to the home games!


(Someone had to say it don't get angry at me on this lovely October day!)

Anyone know roughly what the cost of broadcasting a game is?

 

[Evo1883]

I suppose armchair supporter is a word we can literally use for our fanbase

Would rather the ground contained more people than increase meaningless tv audience figures that benefit that horrible Aussie c**t.

Coventry games on Sky drew an average audience of 320,000

So everyone in the City was watching. Pretty impressive.

ccfc get money from sky for games shown, also could be away game like burton was

i would like to see cov on telly so i can watch the game and save some cash for 1 particular week, its not meaningless ratings for me.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

It's a positive for sure , I by the way can't get to many games

And yet again our own fans can't resist having a go at Coventry City fans.

There's probably a lot of Premier League supporters who look through the Sky schedule and think 'Coventry v Fleetwood?!?, I remember when Coventry were a solid Prem side, give that a watch, see what's gone on there'.

Surely this average includes games in the championship?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes and it does for every other team too

I think they get a flat rate payment so the best outcome would be a good gate at CCFC even if it means less watching on S*y

So you are assuming none of the viewers were supporting the opposition?

Why would they,
We all know we have the worst supporters in the land who won't go to games live, must be true I have read it on here numerous times.

 

[SkyblueBazza]

You don't suppose it is boosted by those fans from clubs who have provided loan players tuning in to see how their players are faring???

...onwards & upwards PUSB
