May the Fourth.....

.... no, I'm not gonna do a lame (sorry Mr Tree) star wars joke, I just wanted to say that the decisions that will be taken tomorrow (thursday) could possibly change football in this country for quite some time.

 

I'm talking about the split up of the television package. I'm guessing there will not be a whole lot of cash (unless the bidding gets silly) to be divided up between the clubs and therefore someone will have to suffer.

 

My guess is, it will not be the clubs star striker but someone far more important..... the fan.

 

This could all be good news for NL footy but who knows?

 

Comments...

westy - can't seem to find anything about this on the net. would you mind awfully naming your sauce or providing linkage old chap? many thanks.

[smallsy]

could you just clarify for me what the star wars joke would have been. ta

[and1inthetree]

it was a humerous reference to the USA's space defence system commissioned by reagan in the 1980s smallsy.

 

pick an eyebrow you'd like to keep btw.

[smallsy]

in reference to your comment about the eyebrow, i am an unfortunate enough fellow to be blessed with a uni-brow. so not much choice im afraid.

 

many thanks for the required information yet i still find myself struggling to comply.

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Tree. It wasn't written anywhere fella, nor was it on any netttypage.

 

I just had it in my little brain that today was the day the bids either started or finished.... not sure which?

 

I'm sure if you go onto the FT you'll find summat?

So is this to do with the Sky getting four packages, and Setanta getting two.

Goddam it! and i've just gone and got another years subscription to the fantasy channel too!

[Kaiser Jnr]

I love Babecast XXX, best channel on Sky <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/chloe.gif" alt="" />

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Is that the womens fishing channel?

[and1inthetree]

setanta get the monday 8pm matches and the saturday 5.15pm kick offs.

 

sky gets the rest. for more money.

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Well bang goes my theroy then, sill he does play a mean guitar though!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[and1inthetree]

fans will still have to pay more though, as setanta is £14 a month.

 

although i have heard if you phone up sky after the football season and tell them you want rid of sky sports, they will always offer it to you for half price...
