Sunderland v Portsmouth is though a week later, how can that be a bigger draw?

Because the Leeds v Forest Sky W@nkathon is on the 10th so they need a week to recover |  |

And on the 17th Leeds only have Wigan. Even Sky can't justify having Leeds v Wigan twice in the space of 4 months. | |

Increases the chances of the away one being on Sky which probably suits Town fans more. |  |

Yeah usually you can watch all 46 of their games on sky every year. Not quite sure why Leeds get special treatment. | | | |

Because they are the biggest supported club outside the top division and Sky predictably want to get the highest ratings they can.
Some people will just watch it because it's football and others will watch it because it's their team. Having a team in a city of 1m people who are a big club is preferably to a town of 150,000 people who are the size of Wigan, Rotherham or Burton.
It's depressingly all that matters to them rather than showing the best games. At least last season their Leeds w*nkfest was justified. It's the 15 televised games a year for 13th placed Leeds the year before that annoyed me. | |

Good. We need to fly under the radar on our quest for 100 points and 200 goals. |  |

This is also a replay of the play-off semi final that got a bit tasty last year. A Sunderland player was basically assaulted by a Portsmouth fan when he went to take a throw in |  |

Somebody posted elsewhere that we have the 3rd biggest amount of season tickets.
These 2 teams have the biggest/2nd biggest.
Is that the reason? |  |

Maybe so but I’d say we have more fans around the country/world than Portsmouth. | |

Great. Concerned we would get messed around with a daft kick off time for this one. No longer. 3pm on the Saturday. Great news! | | | |

That might depend if you count the Pompey fans on the Isle of Wight as 'overseas' fans. |  |

Thank goodness for that. We're terrible on the TV. I'm hoping we avoid being on the box all season. | |

Interesting logic but we were actually the 2nd highest watched side behind Leeds a few seasons ago I believe
We clearly have a lot of closet or lapsed fans who remember when we were good? |  |

I never want to play on Sky or BBC again after humiliations in the last 7 or 8 years or so. Peterborough, Lincoln and Reading all springing to mind let alone sides beating us at a canter. |  |
