Title: Doncaster Away
Post by: london_red on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, 12:18:08
On Easter Monday, 12:15 kickoff now being shown on Sky.

Will that be our 4th televised game this season? Giving Liverpool a run for their money.

While I was pissed off about Yeovil, this is good news as I wasn't planning on going.

Not good for anyone who was planning on going.

Gotta be done. Commitment off the scale.

I went there last time we played there in 2008, pretty sure that was over Easter too?

Cheers.  I thought it was but when the Adver article made no mention of it, I thought maybe I'd made it up.  I'll be at this one...looking forward to a 3-0 win.

If you do, don't go anywhere near Reading as there will be major train disruption on the FGW network over Easter :

Surprised to see we only get £10k for these televised away games... thought it'd be a little more than that.

Post by: 02hodgsol on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 10:10:14
To be honest, I think if tickets are priced at £20 and it wasnt on sky, and an extra 500 people go, thats £10k made up already....imagine if 1500 extra people decide to go thats donnys £30k too...
I think by the time you take this into consideration, only what lets say 1-5k extra could be made....
I thought there was lots of money to be made in sky showing the game live!
hardly even worth it

I've often wondered what the fee was (source LS?). To be honest, it's free money to us as we wouldn't get anything normally. 3 games coming up, must help with the funding to extend Hollands' and Martin's loans.

Sam Morshead tweeted it yesterday

Quote
Away sides televised by Sky receive £10,000, I am reliably told, while home sides get £30,000 per game.

These are the figures I heard when I posted it last week too.
