It's ridiculous isn't it. The Sunderland Newcastle one is on sky. Someone told me that they never show the 12 start matches but doesn't know why. :angry: |

Why can't they show both? They've got enough channels! |

They ahve shown Blues / Vile at lunch time on a Sunday before. They have the geordie / mackam game on later, but have opted to show some useless Jock waste of space game at linch time. No excuses - they chose not to show our game. It is yet another reason why I chose to bin my Sky Sports subscription this year. Got to say - I haven't missed it yet, and I'm around £100 better off to boot!! |

No reason why they couldnt have aired both on one channel and let the viewer choose which one to watch via the red button :break: |

Is it because of the potential for some scrote to run on the pitch? |

I am so annoyed with this decision by sky that I feel it warrants a series of complaints by ourselves to let them know how aghast we are with them. Any chance we can get the evening mail to back us up by doing a petition? I also feel local landlords should also be complaining as they are losing out on a brilliant opportunity to get good return in sales behind the bar especially when sky charge them so much to have sky in their pubs. I really hope that Portsmouth land lady wins her appeal at the ECJ now as this monopoly needs to be broken up. |

I would think it will be on the foreign channels, with many pubs having them. But what is sky up to not showing it? |

Good idea. I walk past very near the Red White & Blue on the way home from work. Might pop my head round and ask if they're showing the game. |

Stop dripping, we'll figure something out. And this is the first Tyneside derby in a few years so there's a novelty to it. Having said that, I don't see the commercial appeal of Liverpool - Bolton, which is on at the same time. |

It's not the first time Sky have decided not to show the game. The 03/04 match at St. Andrews wasn't, nor was the 07/08 match at Villa Park. I have always had the feeling that outside of Birmingham, the match isn't viewed as important. I was listening to a podcast last season when the game at Villa Park was set to go ahead that weekend, and the presenter just mentioned it like it was a normal Premier League match. Also, Newcastle were in the Championship last season, so it's the first time Newcastle-Sunderland match in a while - and they did show both Blues-Villa games last season, so.... |

If I was scheduling it, id much prefer to have had Villa v Blues on at lunchtime on Sunday, then have Newcastle v Sunderland on at 4pm... instead they have Bolton v Liverpool on at 4pm which just sounds like a dreadful game waiting to happen IMO. |

Maybe the police won't allow Newcastle-Sunderland to kick-off at 4pm? I don't know, but it's a possibility... |
