hadn't noticed that, when was the last championship game (or premier league game for that matter) shown live on the beeb?

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.

I think you are correct on all counts there Brendy.
