Possible Setanta and Sky fixtures?

[Dougal]

According to a now deleted link to a West Ham forum, supplied by Scott on cockonball.com our televised fixtures are

Home - Villa, Liverpool, Blackburn and Everton
Away - Chelsea, Pompey, Scum, Citeh and Fulham

As I say, the link has since disappeared...

Link works again...

The arsenal away match is also televised, that's a hell of a lot of fixtures of our's being telivised, that's 9 by december 1st.


That's 9 of our first 15 fixtures being televised, it can't be right.
Also the we play Everton, Blackburn, Fulham, City, Liverpool and Arsenal one after the other. It doesn't make sense that 6 of our games would be televised in a row.

Oh yeah, that game :doh:

 

[Dougal]

Well the thread comes with a question mark, this isn't confirmed as far as I know.

Weren't our televised fixtures last season weighted towards the first half?

Does anyone know if Setanta will be going HD for the new season?

Why does it not make sense? We're often heavily televised apart from when last season fizzled out. We're one of the most attractive teams to watch, because we're always likely to see goals. Plus we have signed some great players already this summer. Not to mention that we are the most likely team to break into the top 4. It wouldn't surprise me to see a lot of Spurs games this season. Especially with more games then ever on Sky Sports and Setanta.

Seems this was on COYS yesterday, they say it was a leaked 'prediction' from DigitalSpy which had the fixtures first last season.

going to have to find a decent pub round me or in edinburgh with santana on then! could easly be on a fair bit this season, Glad most look like they are on sky though :dance:

Actually, I prefer watching in the pub. That way I can chew the furniture in company with other Yids without hearing, 'Oh for goodness' sake! It's not that important, is it?' from the missus every two minutes.

You could always slip something in her dinner, 2 hours peace and not a court in the land would blame you :up:

Cheers for the mention Dougal, much obliged.

I am revealing my true colours after lurking a little too much...

I don't understand how setanta intend to make any money off showing 2 spurs games in half a season, for the cost of subscribing to those two games i could buy 1 actual ticket to go and watch the match live.

I'm not a big fan of companies having monopolies, but when sky had one it cost me less money to watch all the games i wanted.......

Cheers for the Link Dougal and Scott!
