City Game not on telly?

I naturally assumed that the match between 2 undefeated teams would be on Sky or ESPN?

but instead its Norwich/Arsenal and Manure/Swansea on saturday?

 

Yeah, seams they cant magically tell the future huh?

Its still on show in all the normal places though.

I asked this not long ago as it's baffling why the 2 undefeated teams in the league aren't on TV.

They have to plan in advance which games to show as each team is allotted a certain number of televised games, unfortunately at the time they didn't realise this would be 1st v 3rd undefeated clash, I mean who did? Will be streamed as usual.

 

You'd think this being City's biggest test so far and a massive game that could decide where the title ends up would be shown on TV!

 

I love the fact that we always get either a 'boo, its not on tv', or a 'boo, they moved it for tv' from the away travellers. Sky can't win.

 

I blame Murdoch but ssshhhhh he's probably having the forum watched/hacked

 

Its on at my local so I don't give a ****!!!

 

Find a pub with Viasat. Viasat is a system that shows every major game in the world really. Tynemouth Club will definitely have it on

 

Nope! the arseholes banked all on televising the Stoke and Everton games hoping to watch us lose.

 

how far in advance do they decide the actual KO's, obviously at the start of the season they are all placed as 3pm Sat KO's then moved during the season

 

They annouce the games 3 months or so in advance so I guess they can speak to the Premier League at that point and decide KO times.

 

Didnt realise it was that far in advance, suppose i can forgive them for not expecting both teams to be in the top 3! I mean, didnt everyone else expect Man City to be mid-table?

 

Our game with Everton was anounced when Sky published their first set of live games in August so gives you some idea. Top 4-6 teams get a certain number of matches (around 10-12) then 3 tiers after that where lower teams get fewer amounts of matches televised.


Where abouts in Herts are you? I live in a little village between Stevenage & Hertford

 

Surprised ESPN dont have a reglar 3pm KO on the sat, (think they did for a bit) that way they can choose fairly late on depending on the form teams as wouldnt have to change fans travel plans.

I'm right on the herts border - Bishops stortford,

office is in ware and have few clients dotted around the place.

Whereabouts is your village? i play some local tennis matches that area (in the datchworth league)

 

Any Irish pub will have it as it's on Setanta Ireland

So is our game at Old Trafford next weekend.

 

No 3 o clocks are televised in England, against league rules and always has been as long as I can remember.

 

just realised im being dragged out to a late lunch this sat with the girlfriend and her friends, ahhhh!!

my locals irish though and think they just changed from their normal sky box so may well have setanta ireland! Manure is a definite there then!! thanks
