Farnborough / SKY TV Cup Row


Recommended Posts

i think the bbc or sky will only pay up big money if they play it at cherrywood.. if its switched to highbury its a 7-1 home banker.. im sure some temp stands could add another thou or 2 to the gate and the t.v. money will make up for the attendance shortfall.. they would then have an outside chance of a draw.. depends wether they want a day out at highbury or a day on t.v. either option is pretty good!!

There's always been a horrible air of arragance and the big I am about Westley and Farnborough, the papers today say he wants the game played at Highbury AND live TV coverage, it's what the country wants - bollox does it, if it's played at Highbury then its a run of the mill cup tie and I'll look out for the result but my intrest won't be too great. Play it at Cherrywood Rd and I'm in the pub watching the game!

 

Examples of when ties become less glamourous

Chelsea v Shrewsbury (nah!)

Leeds v Scunthorpe (nah!)

Everton v Shrewsbury (nah!)

 

We had Charlton v Exeter and Arseanal v Oxford in the last round, if these ties were the other way round the intrest would be more, they would of been picked up by SKY or BBC instead they were just games that were given a fleeting mention during the afternoons radio coverage.

'We don't train on our ground and we do not have a single Farnborough lad at the club. There is no sense that Farnborough is our spiritual home, it is just the place we play 21 league games" - Graham Westley, FTFC manager, chairman and owner. Daily Express 8 Jan 2003.

 

There's names for blokes like him.....
