Thought being in league one shit like this wouldn't happen 

Exactly my thought process when booking our holiday! Just checked with RyanAir about changing our flights and it would cost £450. Only paid £216 in the first place! Getting leathered in a bar and watching on telly it is.

I'm not sure it is great for money in League 1.

Monday night is a ridiculous time for football & will hit the attendance massively.

 Just Fook off Sky!

£30k for us and £10k for Blackpool.

We'll lose money on it.

Exactly, 30k is only 1,500 supporters at £20. Easily lose that in away fans let alone home fans, ridiculous financially.

Got to factor in what we receive in terms of the TV deal as a whole though, some of which is essentially covering the risk of games being moved.

Can't remember if it was the current Leeds owner or a previous one but he was banging on that every time they were on sky they lose money 

Given how much sky like to show them over a course of a season it must add up

Valid point, how much is that though? Anyone know?

Blackpool at home is probably one of the highest gate receipt money spinners for us I'd have thought, moving it for Sky wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been a Monday night! Not to mention how many Season ticket holders with young children won't be able to attend, North stand will look potentially as barren as it did Saturday!

Been away the same week for the last few years. Took me a while to realise why it wasn’t an international weekend for us this year 🙈
