So that would mean the time between our last Saturday 3pm home league game and the next would be over 2 months.

Sunderland fans who like to travel have been shafted here. But many others will be able to watch on the box.
This has now become a total disgrace and is ruining any attempt to build up crowds at the CCS.
Can't City just say ferk off Murdoch ?
ffs
How much cash are we compensated with to be on Sky?
Great NOT
£100,000 for the home side. £10,000 for the away team.
Sky give every EFL club £2m.
Every Championship club also gets £4.3m solidarity payment from the Sky money given to the Premier League.
Plus parachute payments.
Cardiff are getting a fortune from Sky. £100,000 equates to about 6,000 home fans spending £17 each.
Do you think that Cardiff v Sunderland at 3pm would get 6,000 more fans than Cardiff v Sunderland at 12:30pm? The Sky money equates to 6,000 fans. If Cardiff refuse, they also lose their £2m basic payment, and their £4.3m solidarity payment. How many fans would have to show up (on offers of £5 a ticket) to make up for the loss of Sky money?
Maybe the only way to make feelings known is to attack Sky instead of Cardiff City FC? If you subscribe, stop. If you subscribe, do you watch the occasional game between, say, Norwich and Bristol City at 12:30pm on a Saturday when Cardiff are away?
Sky now got a deal to screen 7.45 kos on a Saturday for the PL.
are we at the stage where Live football should be allowed at tv at 3pm on a Saturday? After all, we already have Champions League games screened live while Fleetwood are at home in the EFL trophy, so what’s the difference....and would it have much impact? How many fans would stay away from watching, I dunno, Bradford or Pompey because, say, Burnley v Stoke was live on SKY?
Fact is, Sky could turn to a club like Man U and say "You have to kick off against Man City at 11am on Christmas Day", and Man U would have little option other than to accept.
If people stopped subscribing to Sky, then maybe it would send out a message. Not sure there is an appetite to do that, though.
I’ve been saying this for a while. Attendance fees are such a small percentage of clubs income , especially at the top level. It makes sense to offer it pay per view at day £15 a game. And lower ticket prices at the ground to ensure full crowds etc. I think once amazon , Netflix , Facebook get involved this will happen. Or if sky change their viewing policy.
Don't know if anyone saw yesterday's announcement:
Sky will now host a PL game on a Saturday evening at 7:45pm, challenging the likes of X Factor etc.
From next season, Sky and BT will have 200 games between them.
What happened to the late Saturday Championship games on sky? This is a pain the arse for me. 7:30am kick off.
