How much money do we get a season from Sky?

For this game Boro would have been close to selling out their allocation- suspect that they may bring closer to 600 now- so thats 40K gone
Thursday night games are coming as well.

Absolute Bloody Rubbish!

£60,000 from Sky for the home team, I think.

Brilliant... another game for us to struggle infront of the cameras, and like MickMillsTash said, no consideration for the fans

Suppose its good money for the club but Sat 3.00 pm kick off's, at home, seem few and far between this season

I hope we never end up playing on a Thursday night - surely has to be the worst night of the week for football?..as much as I love football,sometimes there's just too much of it on.

Quality rather than quantity.

You're not wrong Lightning boy, we played Norwich at home on a thursday night... when we lost 5-1. Worst night indeed!

Another depressing experience looms for the nation to laugh at then.

Grrr, I hate Friday kick-offs. Aside from our Live on Sky performance issues, it is 3x more expensive to travel up by train than a Saturday. Hence why we likely get lower gates that probably offset any puny amount of shekels that Sky give us.

We don't have a great track record on Sky do we???

No to Thursday football unless it is the UEFA Cup 2017/18 after a newly promoted Ipswich finishes 5th in the 2016/17 Premership - it happened before!

Football for me is all about Saturdays, these mid week games are a pain in the backside and Fridays on SKY even worse. Just had a quick count up and there are only 12 Saturday home games left until the end of the season! (plus 6 mid week so far...)

B*gger. Difficult for me with public transport.
Football should be 3pm Saturday - it's tradition innit - food/drink before match - home to have something and chips and Strictly on the tv..

Fine by me if its determined when the fixture list is out, but how they have the power to suddenly switch a Saturday game to an evening game for reasons not connected with football I do not know. Football has sold its soul.

Honestly this is the kind of thing that drives me mad about modern football! The same day my missus checks with me 4th December is ok for her works xmas do and i confirm yes no probs and this happens!
One of us has to miss out now cus of the kids.
Thanks Sky and thanks to the club for selling out again!

I'd rather never be on Sky again thanks.

Amber arsed on the box again, unless of course our leader has had a change of selection policy before then!!!!!

The figures do not really add up for me if it is £60k from Sky (see Phil's post above).
That means if the crowd is 3,000 lower than it would otherwise be (which seems realistic) the Club loses 3,000 x average ticket price of £20 = 60k!

so that's 6 Tuesday night plus up to now 2 Friday night games i cant get to as i live 180 miles from pr.
doing the maths £395 /23 is £17 per game give or take£17 x 8 missed games equates to £126 down the swanny
or £395 /15 games is £ 26 per game
not rocket science and not much va!ue in a season ticket.

Rubbish, travelling on a Fri night from Herts is a nightmare.

As said above, footy is for Sat at 3.......

As everyone will know who contributes regularly on this site I am 100% behind the team and management what ever strange decisions they may make but sky keep changing the fixture list has really pisst me off I travel 200 miles each game and after 40 years of being a season ticket holder I think it's time to call it a day how can you make other decisions in your life when all of a sudden a game that was scheduled for a sat in aug all of a Sudden At The Whim Of Sky Becomes A Friday Fixture Total Disrespect For The supporters
