Plea to Sky not to televise Coventry

[brightspark]

For obvious reasons

[Ashby Saint]

Not the issue for me. Playing Fonte is the problem.

[SO16_Saint]

It'll be on BBC

[Dr Who?]

It will be on tv.

[gjphilsaint]

we will be live on BBC on sunday as will all the important games... unless WHU do not win on monday. and if the worst etc...all play off games will be televised as will the final so....leicester had better do us one hell of a favour

[superpilgrim]

It'll be on BBC

 

 

This is definately the case. Same Problem, as we lost to Blackpool on BBC.

[Dr Who?]

It will be on tv.

 

Unless Leicester win or draw!

[Dearne Valley Saint]

If we go up please buy defenders

[Super_Uwe]

Or feature them on radio either!!

[Leicestersaint]

We cannot keep blaming the Sky curse. I hate Murdock as much as anyone but these things are in our own hands.

 

We cocked it up today big time.

[alpine_saint]

Of course it will be on TV, its the only thing in the division still open. They will be doing their "cutting between games" thing between us and Wham.

 

Much as I hate to say it, we need to pray Wham screw up on Monday, cos we aint going to win the final head-to-head.

[cynicalsaint]

Alpine - why not log off the forum and go and have a beer or something?

[alpine_saint]

Alpine - why not log off the forum and go and have a beer or something?

 

Seriously, have a look, we seem to get closer to promotion when we are NOT playing and West Ham are.

[DG]

Can't we take out a court order banning sky and bbc from St Mary's or something.

[Matthew Le God]

They will be doing their "cutting between games" thing between us and Wham.

 

One game will be on Sky, the other on the BBC.

[stardustonmyfeet]

What has been our record for tv games this season? For someone who can't get to many games it must have felt like we've been battling relegation rather than fighting for the title.

 

Of course it'll be lovely getting used to that feeling again in anticipation of next season.

[alpine_saint]

One game will be on Sky, the other on the BBC.

 

They will still be doing the "cutting", I reckon.

 

Point is, we wont avoid the cameras.

[CB Fry]

Even a point would have pretty much ruled out the chance of WHU going into second at any point during next Saturday's game.

 

Now, assuming they win on Monday (they may still blow it) they can go an early goal up next week and be second "as it stands". That, my friends, is hell on earth.

 

But I think we'll still do it. We have the perfect opponents so really we should finish the job.

[John Boy Saint]

On the TV without a doubt Coventry relaxed knowing their fate and us up tight. Down the years Coventry have been a bit of a thorn in our sides.

 

Ah well just have to wait another week.

[letissisgod]

we will be live on BBC on sunday as will all the important games... unless WHU do not win on monday. and if the worst etc...all play off games will be televised as will the final so....leicester had better do us one hell of a favour

 

Since when have all the games been switched to SUNDAY. No buggar told me !!!

[Mattio]

They'll only be 2nd if we're losing to Coventry...or they score a hatful in the first few mins!

[Kingsbridge Saint]

I can't remember the last time I saw us play well and win on TV. I have seen us play well and lose lots, and seen us play crap and win. Seriously considering not watching final day. it would kill the joy of the moment if we do manage to fall over the line, but I just can't cope with another sh1t evening watching Saints. How do you guys do it week in week out?

[musesaint]

Well we need to get over the tv curse

 

If we don't what the f*cuk are we going to do next year if we go up ... apart from come straight back down ?

[CB Fry]

They'll only be 2nd if we're losing to Coventry...or they score a hatful in the first few mins!

 

Yes, you're right. I'd forgotten that the as it stands table will give us a point for being nil nil. Happy days.

Great post!

[obelisk]

This problem with Saints performances on TV is really odd. Pretty hard to put a finger on the reason for the indifferent displays but I'd hope the matter is being addressed. Promotion will bring with it far more TV exposure and altered kick offs.

[Crazy Diamond]

This is definately the case. Same Problem, as we lost to Blackpool on BBC.

 

Er hold on, where is this official confirmation that it's on the BBC?

 

I think you'll find the BBC go to the title winners on the last day, or at least they've done that for the past few years. In case you hadn't noticed, that's not us. NOTHING HAS BEEN CONFIRMED YET. It's all dependant on the outcome of Monday. I know, because I occasionally work for the Beeb!

 

Stop overreacting.

Blackpool 2-2 on Sky. Bialkowski shocker.

[Flyer]

The only way it wont be on TV is if Saints are already promoted due to WHU losing tomorrow so then a loss wont matter.

 

If WHU win, its nailed on to be shown. They should only show the title winners if thats still in doubt, Readings game is a nothing match and its not even at home so it wont be a big celebration.

[Crazy Diamond]

I have just heard from the Beeb. NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.

 

That is fact. It is likely to change, but for now, you can stop speculating.

if we are up...and reading are champs...you would think the cardiff and boro games are all that are left

[Crazy Diamond]

Just to clarify - that's no decision by either Sky or the BBC.

[CLOTH EARS]

FFS What are you lot like ??? Calm down! All WILL be well !!!

[ant]

It's the odd kick off times which seem to have a detrimental affect on Saints rather than being on tv.

 

Exactly this, noticed the pattern around Christmas when we had an extended period of unconvential fixtures. Saturday 3pm and Tuesday 7.45pm games almost always seem to go our way. Whether that has a root cause in our preparations or is purely a coincidence I have no idea.

 

But yes, there's still more than enough chance to put this to bed.

[ART]

If SKY is the problem then no need getting promotion to the Premiership. Every game will be televised so we're sunk before next season starts so the Stadium will be empty too.

[Saint_lambden]

I really doubt that it'll matter that we're on the tv or not for this one. It's such a big game that all the attention will be on us either way - so it'll make no difference to the players.

 

It shouldn't be an excuse anyhow. COYR.

[Dig Dig]

Don't think it will to be fair. Can't see us getting much more TV coverage than we have had this season and we've had loads of altered KO's in order to accomdate the telly box.

[maxi_sopez]

Interesting thing i noticed this week was Sharp's interview after the mid week game said he was 'annoyed' that boro game was on tv... Worrying it is now in the players head, that they cant perform on tv. Also final note since we were last in the PL, every match is televised now live somewhere in the world... gotta sort it out before next year or we will be truly f**ked

But it won't be the same team next year.Anyway on TV or not on TV doesn't make much difference.It's the 16 players who are on the team sheet that make the difference and also the quality of the opposition.We have trouble beating good sides because we have one or two players in our team who just aren't good enough for encounters with the NPC front runners.They look adequate againt Palace reserves and Posh seconds but when there are good players on the other side they let us down.A team is only as goodas it's weakest element.Players like Bailey gobble wimps like Cork up for tea,not that Bailey is a good player mind you.

Our record in what is now 'The Championship' is:

 

Played 30 Won 5 Drawn 10 LOST 15 For 29 Against 51

 

This is not counting the 2 legs v Derby.

[Noodles34]

sorry, i am a bit confised:

 

is kick off next saturday at 1pm?

If we are on tv does this change?

If so, when are the possible day/times?

And surely WHAM would have to play at the same time?

Jesus, some people have got lives to plan....

All games on the final day kick off @ 12:30, 2 games will be on TV. One on Sky, and one on BBC - but they will be broadcast with the 12:30 kick off time too. It wouldn't be fair to have games kicking off at all sorts of times on the last day, when so much can be decided.

[Noodles34]

ok, thanks, at least i wont be half hour late then

Just so you know for next season, the date and kick off times for the last day of the season are usually set in stone when the fixture list comes out. Of all the matches to plan your life around it is the easiest as every single fixture always kicks off at the same time.
