pompey game at fratton park has been rescheduled to go on tv http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2404221,00.html?utm_source=Twitte
A predictable, yet welcome outcome for those of us on distant shores![]()
On BBC too, great news for those of us without Sky.
Time to show those northeners what football is all about.
hadn't noticed that, when was the last championship game (or premier league game for that matter) shown live on the beeb?
Hopefully BBC will be better for us than ITV was!
Prior to the BBC buying up the rights to the Football League - and subsequently showing about 10 live Championship games - I'm sure league football hadn't been shown live on terrestrial for many a year. And this contract of the BBC's started just as we left the Championship! (And I believe this is the last year of the contract, and the BBC haven't renewed it).
I do have a feeling though that our FA Cup game against them in 2005, when Crouch scored that injury-time winner from the penatly spot, might have been on the BBC. I'm not certain, and I'm happy to be proved wrong, but I do have a feeling it might have been.
