Snowflake Royal Mid Sussex Royal So that means Norwich is the only remaining Saturday 3pm game, assuming they change the time for the last game.
Anyone know how much Sky pay to cover a live game?
I've got £100k in my head for some reason, but no idea why or if it's accurate.
Under the current deal, which I think runs to the end of next season, I believe the fees for live games for Division 2/Championship clubs are, for the home club, £100,000 per game (unless it’s played on Sunday (£120,000) or Thursday (£140,000)) - while away teams collect a fixed fee of £10,000.
So Reading, presuming those figures are still correct in the current climate, will have collected £1m for live SKY screenings by the end of April....

Birmingham
Total: £80,000
HomeStoke
Bristol City
Bournemouth
Norwich
Blackburn
Nottm Forest
Coventry
Cardiff
Swansea (Sunday)
Total: £920,000
Think that’s all the live games, but it gets a bit confusing this season given the number of games on red button and ifollow etc. so please feel free to correct if necessary.
You might also like to note that until SKY chose to televise Reading for the first time this season, Reading were doing quite nicely thank you very much having won 7 and drawn 1 of their first 8 games so perhaps it would actually have been better to have earned £0 so far.....
