£28, lunchtime KO on TV.  I mean it doesn't scream let's go does it?

Could be much worse!…

Walsall away game against Bromley, sold out on March 15th, was rearranged by Sky Sports to be TV on March 13th at 8pm.

Shouldn’t be allowed to happen!

£28 is scandalous for league 2 football

Salford will be the winners the following week. We'll take no more than 400 to Crewe at those prices. At £15 at Salford we'll take nearly 4 times that for sure

Is it just the home team that gets TV money or do both sides?

It's neither I think now, just all the same isn't it?

I can see the Bradford home game being moved to either Saturday 12.30 or the Thursday before

I'm starting to get a feeling of how frustrating it must be sometimes for fans of Premiership clubs, although of course their clubs get rather better financial compensation for the inconvenience.

The particular frustration is that while hundreds of millions of people globally want to see Man City v Liverpool, the only (repeat, only) people who want to watch Rovers v Bradford City are likely those actually in the stadium itself. Nobody is sat in Tokyo or Accra thankful that the Eco-Power is hosting a red hot League Two derby. Very inconvenient.

Not strictly true CBcb.  IF the match is as big as we hope then it will be a sell out and there will be plenty of other fans from both sides who will want to watch it, as well as people who for various reasons are unable to travel.
And don’t forget all the fans who live abroad.
However, I get your drift on the general situation.
