I new straight away that we'd be the first game on Sky Sports as we are at home, it's purely because of the rebrand.

As usual, some benefit, and some lose out. Won't affect me personally, cos I can make both days, but actually feel sorry for the Huddersfield fans. Their first away trip in the Championship, and most will probably have to take a day off work now.
