stevegrant Posted 25 June, 2010 Share Posted 25 June, 2010 As per the subject, really. Saints' first game of the season, at home to Plymouth Argyle, has been selected for live TV coverage by Sky Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%Red&White Posted 25 June, 2010 Share Posted 25 June, 2010 From a selfish point of view, fandabadosi, as I'll be sat in some Turkish bar drinking cheap Turkish lager now watching events unfold at home. Last year they came to the rescue in Bulgaria for the Millwall game. Good on Sky. I would however have a completely different opinion if I was back in Southampton. F***ing Sky wan..................

Matthew Le God Posted 25 June, 2010 Share Posted 25 June, 2010 (edited) Sky 1 NC O c16,358 A low-key start to our promotion season. Millwall at St Mary's on the opening day last season, a Sky live game at 12:45pm, 20,103 people turned up and that was a campaign where Saints weren't favourites to win the League. If anything the attendance will be higher than the Millwall game as expectations of promotion are much higher this season. Also you forget Sky are paying the club to show the game.

Saints foreva Posted 25 June, 2010 Share Posted 25 June, 2010 Looks like we will be starting with a defeat. We never win League matches on tele, we never beat teams with new managers and we never win on the opening day. Suspect the gate will be reduced by 3,000 now. **** off Sky.

stevegrant Posted 25 June, 2010 Author Share Posted 25 June, 2010 I don't beleive clubs have to accept their game being choose. For. ? In which case Cortese must be happy with the money Sky are paying SFC. Correct. In the Premier League, it's a contractual obligation, but it's entirely optional in the Football League. However, any club rejecting the "opportunity" to be shown live on Sky runs the risk of simply not being picked again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sky are allowing half an hour less time for the anaesthetic to work.... I should be there, though. Last year I appreciated a sunny pint (or 3?) at The Platform Tavern.
