Good news - more publicity and some extra cash from Sky.. 👍👍

That’s a pity I will miss my Sunday lunch.

Last time we had the privilege of being on SKY it was absolutely heartbreaking.

Hopefully this time round we will have a better outcome

At least it should be a financial bonus, as we should still get a decent crowd in for this one plus the TV money. However it will be at the end of a really difficult month, so if we have been hammered a few times the crowd may not be so big !

Not sure about the publicity - nobody watches league one games except fans for the clubs involved surely?

Obviously I can’t speak for everyone, but as a football fan in general, as well as a lot of my friends, I tend to watch most matches on tv, regardless if I support that team or not. I think you’ll find more people will watch it than you expect.

I will be on my way to Mauritius, was going to the Saturday game because I didn't want to miss it gutted!! Will have to watch it at Heathrow if it is on there before my flight goes.

That is a brutal journey for Ipswich fans.

Yes, there was one complaining on Facebook that they had to leave at 0300 to arrive in time for kick off. Almost have little sympathy for them, Argyle fans often leave for "standard" away fixtures on a regular basis in the early hours..... Morecambe anyone?

Get a Now TV day sports pass. You could watch it on your phone if it's not been broadcast at Heathrow.

I don't know the number of viewers Sky get for lower league games but I saw recently that only ONCE has a game on Sky ever had more than 4 million live viewers and that was Man City v Man United in the 2012 run-in when City beat United on their way to their first Premier League title.

Sky football is quite insignificant when it comes to viewing figures in TV terms. For instance, EastEnders at it's lowest point of it's popularity over the years still attracted audiences of 4 million.
