Sorry if I've missed this and someone has already posted but just seen that the away team gets just £10k for a game live on Sky. So we have 3 away fixtures in a row and get £30k - wow!

21 Dec 2018 23:30:19
Correct G Man, mind you, it is the magnificent sum of £100,000 for the home games, with an extra £20K for a Sunday game. Dunno what sort of viewing figures other teams are getting but Leeds regularly pull in over 400,000 viewers, I suppose it's because the Championship is a "second rate product" when you see Stan, tell him :)

{Ed001's Note - it is because it is on the red button. If it was a main game the value would be different.}

Are you sure Ed001? I was under the impression that featured games, like Villa v Leeds, was a £100k and £10K with less being paid for red button games. And absolutely no consideration whatsoever to the travelling fans :)

{Ed001's Note - either way it is nowhere near enough for the disruption it causes for the fans that go. Without whom the game would not be half as exciting.}

I don’t know what they get for red button but the away team get a fixed £10k for the Championship for the featured game. Was an article a while ago saying Villa were in 19 times last year for total of £840k. Mad.

{Ed001's Note - that is ridiculous. What a stupid deal the EFL agreed there.}

22 Dec 2018 14:23:31
It's so ridiculous, no wonder we and (almost) all the other clubs were up in arms when the FL committee voted to take the new deal. It was an unanimous vote so the 3 championship reps thought it was good, the 3 of them are perennial no-hopers so are quite ok with taking a share of the money generated by the big clubs. I hope they get relegated and see how much they get in League 1 :)

{Ed003's Note - Merry Christmas to you all as well boston.}

3-1 Leeds and Izzy Brown hatrick!

Definitely I’m a 100% certain that 50% of the above is correct.

21 Dec 2018 21:37:04
Brown out for another 4 weeks injured in under 23 game.

22 Dec 2018 11:13:00
Apologies Martyn written in the works Christmas bash slightly merry very aware and tongue FIRMLY in cheek regards Brown injury but FIRMLY believe we will beat the Villa 👍.

In the last 15 years only one team that was top of the Championship on Christmas Day has not been promoted automatically! It's beginning to feel a lot like.

21 Dec 2018 13:35:01
Well on the way now, even a 50% win rate for the rest of the season would see Leeds finish in the top 6.

21 Dec 2018 14:14:33
out of interest - who was the one that didn't?

21 Dec 2018 14:31:13
Hoooooo raaaarrrrr!

21 Dec 2018 16:52:35
Top on the the 15th promoted every year since championship started.

21 Dec 2018 17:20:02
We might not be top Christmas day Spanish. Let's not get too carried away until April when were 15 points clear.

21 Dec 2018 17:35:44
Really hope that isn’t the Jinx stat we don’t wanna break.

Alf, Watford!

Hey Aus that is a curve ball I never thought of but best thought of December so far. Imagine playing them in Perth next July as a premiership team and them in the championship. Last minute note to Santa just sent urgently.

21 Dec 2018 09:58:29
I know. How cool would that be?
They would have a low profile manager.
All their so called stars would have long since abandoned ship.
No money. No fans would watch them and we flog em 7-0!

20 Dec 2018 23:15:33
Just woke up.
Was it a dream or true lads.
Ole takes them down and we pass them on the way up?

21 Dec 2018 02:31:42
Plausible Aus, plausible.

21 Dec 2018 14:16:28
would we say 'Ole' as we pass?

21 Dec 2018 16:18:56
Should we be so cruel Alf?
Ok.
