I realise you all know this, so apologies for stating the bleeding obvious but I was just looking at up coming fixtures with a view to going to 1 or 2 games, we don't have a Saturday 3pm home game till 14th April. This surprised me, it's a big chunk of season without a proper k.o. date/time.

Won't surprise you to know that I have noted this. Noted and despaired.

How many games do TV get? 6? Some effort to be in the least 2 attractive in a draw that was meh across the board

The Bournemouth v Wolves 5th round FA cup fixture is the only game not being shown on live tv.
3pm on Saturday 1st March.

I can’t believe that an all Premier League clash is less attractive than Preston v Burnley . Shite ground and no prospect of a decent away allocation in this fixture compared to the rest too.

Yeah that's annoying. Every single other tie is watchable but ours.

Also, there's no reason we couldn't have played it on the Sunday to give us both an extra days rest after playing Sat/Tue in the previous week.

From a neutral perspective a local derby giving a Championship team a path to the ¼ finals. It probably is more interesting to anyone other than a Wolves or Bournemouth fan tbf, at least from a narrative perspective. It's also at a ground that has zero atmosphere

Is that why championship tv rights out sell the premier league ?

If the PL were offered Bournemouth v another none Sky 6 side every week this forum could probably club together to buy them
