pillred Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Well how are the tv companies especially Sky and BT going to fill their endless hours now? wouldn't mind seeing some classic games from the past like the old match of the days from the 70s and 80s, anyone else have any ideas? they have a lot of hours to fill.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 MOTD could dig out City's win over York which included a Ritchie 'perfect' hat trick and us kicking off in both halves. Sky could do a programme of Kammies gaffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irks me to say it but Warboys and Bannister were an excellent pair up front. Seem to remember that Clough and Taylor were managing Brighton around that time.

Yeah spot on Clough & Taylor were just starting out and one can only imagine the rollicking the Brighton players must have got after the match and that pairing for the Gas were certainly a handful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 MOTD could re-run classic episodes. SKY and BT should go to local football across the country and show them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking what they said, costs to them not how much they charge people. A lot of their presenters for live sport will be freelance so no need to hire them any time soon, unnecessary staff won't be working for a few weeks etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 It might just implode for a month or two- then it’ll be back with slightly higher prices to recoup their losses. No doubt the new contracts the sports channels offer will also be changed to prevent any future losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 My sister and her hubby work in the TV industry filming live football matches. They’re really worried. before anyone says - no they are not loaded - on slightly more than ordinary salaries as they are contractors, but not silly money and can’t afford to both be out of work for months.

Someone will remember Definitely, 100% was on MotD that night. City lost 0-2 home to Arsenal that day. The following March I was at Highbury seeing us 4-1 down after about 20 minutes and I thought we were going to concede more than 9 at that rate, but the score remained 4-1. The same day Rovers lost 2-3 home to Spurs, it was chosen for MotD again...I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Surely it will just fill the summer months when they`ve got no football on anyway once it all gets going again? The Euros would have been free-to-air as usual presumably so they wouldn`t have been showing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness I imagine this is already taken care of in contract details, but if not I'm sure a comprimise would be reached before it wenty to litgation. The tv companies should not be paying for a product they don't receive, neither should the tv fanbase, nor season card holders. I don't really want to bother thinking about this now, what with a nowtv season pass and a season card in the Dolman which I've just renewed. We can revisit this in three or four months time when this season resumes/gets expunged from the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Brighton lost 0-4 at home to Walton & Hersham in the FA Cup just before they lost 2-8 at home to the gas - two of their first games under Clough & Taylor - that made Benny’s start with us look reasonable!

Apologies I thought that was the start of their managerial career and getting hammered by the sags straight after losing to a non league team in the cup must have really put the cat amongst the pigeons!

Portland Bill Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Plenty of super rugby from NZ and Aussie to record overnight. Also do the same with Aussie A league football. Then watch it all at your leisure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 There's a rugby league game being broadcast tonight and the women's netball super league is still going ahead. Presumably there's some cricket taking place in the Southern hemisphere. At a guess though, Sky will broadcast "memorable" games from the last thirty years.

England`s tour of Sri Lanka has been called off though as has the India v SA ODI series. The start of the IPL has been put back to April and the Big Bash has finished. So not much cricket at all sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
