    Swansea/Wrexham? Wales
    Boro/Hull? North Yorkshire
    West Brom/Stoke? …on the way up north.

    Plenty of games for Sky TV to get excited about there.
    Also pretty certain they will love the Charlton v Southampton, Nathan Jones angle.
    First game of the season anyone?

    I actually respect Cambridge posh as a derby , I think there’s proper hatred there… but agree with your overall sentiments !

    Blimey !
    It wasn't a dream. We are back in the Championship with bigger teams and many derby's in different parts of the country.
    Can you Adam and Eve it 😃

    This must be the strongest looking Championship in years. So many quality away days and don't see many teams coming to us that won't sell out the Jimmy Seed. Can it be August already?!

    Is it just me that opened this thread expecting to see a list of reasons explaining why John Eustace was taking the Rams back to the top flight?

    Sky will move a load of kick off times around annoyingly. I don't think a neutral wants to watch that much Championship football

    I believe Leicester/Cov has an edge to it (and Derby care much more about Forest).

    Spanners away (and probably at home) will 100% be a 12.30 kickoff.

    Given the amount of derbies, this might work well for us as Sky will prioritise derbies over normal games... Unless we're playing in a derby

    It certainly will the year of the derby for me if I have many more days out on the lash like Sunday.

    August will be great, we might not be as excited by the time we get to November!

    With the amount of derbies in the division, I reckon they’ll only pick one of the games for the main game on tv, not both. However, yes Sky could try and make the other fixture a red button game, annoyingly.
