At least in the Championship you can expect to have a couple of telecast games through the season.
It must be terrible supporting a team in the lower leagues, not getting to watch them at all, but I suppose the quality is so poor it's not worth televising.
You see this is the difference between a real supporter and the likes of you.
I've seen my team play more games live this season than were televised anyway. Not sure if you are aware but if you go to the ground on matchday, you can actually go in and watch the game.
I know this will be a strange concept for you but it's actually a lot of fun actually supporting the team you say you do.

Norwich were in the Prem last year and I watched them every week sitting up until 3:30am. Watching a Chris Hughton side go away and not even mustering a shot on target is not enjoyable. I am enjoy staying up and listening to the radio commentary far more than a Season getting smashed.

I wonder how this would have been reported if this happened at Millwall.

You going back to watch your club in the richest one off game in the world?
Sadly no. I didn't make it to our UEFA Cup Final either. Nor to any other game.
It's on my bucket list to go to a game, and I'm planning a trip in 2020 (long service leave).
I don't care who we're playing, EPL or Championship (or League One for that matter), I just want to go to one game.

Really? You've never even been to one game. You're even worse that I thought you were.
I lived there in the 60's when I was under 5, so no one ever took me to a game. Moved from there to Sydney, never been back to Europe.

That was a surprisingly one sided game. Boro getting stuck in traffic and arriving 45 minutes before kick-off didn't help. Great to see clubs giving young British managers a chance.

Yet another year in the Championship for you now
Thought Boro weren't up for the challenge, didn't come out of the starting blocks. The late arrival because of traffic (45 minutes before ko) was probably very distracting, but as professional footballers they should have been able to cope. Norwich wanted it more and won every 50/50 challenge and more. The ref let the slightly late, slightly from behind tackles fly in all game leaving players lying on the ground, which was a bit frustrating as until the last 10 minutes it was Norwich doing all the 'flying in' and Boro doing all the 'lying on the ground'.
Never mind, there's always a 'next season' just around the corner.
At least I can look forward to getting another 6 points off Millwall ..... oh.

You never know I might see Owls v Boro later this year if the fixtures work out.

Gee, now there's a game to capture the imagination
