I just saw this quote in the Guardian’s ‘Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend’ feature.
I now live in the states, where I can thankfully watch nearly every match City plays on TV, including most friendlies. Of course it was at times difficult to find our matches when I was in god’s own city (and especially when I lived in Spain) but I thought that was improving as of late and hadn’t realised this sort of “blackout” was happening for us this season.
For those lucky/poor bastards (depending on your perspective) still living in the UK, is this actually happening? And, if so, what do you make of it?
Is there an agenda to keep our swashbuckling play away from the hungry eyes of the neutral?
Are United being shown in the same way or do they have more broadcast time?
Is this just a normal “blip” in scheduling that will correct itself as the season goes on?
Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts.
They expect us to be in the reckoning so don't want to fill their quota too early.
