  1. Can't go to Sky meetings any more as they hold their AGM's in the USA

    ITV will hold their AGM on Thursday 2nd May,so I will be attending.

    We all know about how Sky will broadcast EFL games,but no mention  of free to air highlights,if there are going to be any, so I'll be asking if ITV will have the highlights package

    If Sky are going to announce all televised games up to January 2025,I think Sky will show all five live Championship games on at 12:30pm on Saturdays

    to go up against BT/TNT's prem game

    red button for home consumers,one match only if your watching in a pub if your watching EFL live games.

    Although on the first weekend of the football season(when there are no prem games)I think that sky will show the five games over fri/sat/sun/mon

    You did not reply to the posting about me knowing about the new EFL deal twelve months ago

    regarding the items that secret Sam wants to give away I would be very interested in the paper cuttings

  3. and don't forget if your making the journey by car from the Bristol aerial,the best route is M4 to Newbury and then down the A34.

    If you you leave early(if its a 3pm kick off) you can see the pride of the Royal Navy ships where they are based,including HMS Bristol.

  4. off on match days.

    If Elton John(and others) is allowed this Privilege why not football followers

    For any one who was in the Winterstoke Road area just after the game finished

    the two fire engines that were seen, were heading for Long Ashton after a car had flipped over

    Alternative route Cumberland Basin head towards the A370 and up to the south Bristol link road,and the same in the opposite direction

  5. Cross country trains take approx two hours to get to Plymouth from BTM and depart at 45 minutes past the hour

    GWR trains take approx 2 hours and 35 minutes.

    We have not had a 3pm kick against Plymouth since 2008,that's SIXTEEN years ago

    So advise sitting on the left hand side of the train,where the views are stunning in direction of travel on the way to Plymouth

    Wellington monument,Dawlish Warren aerial and for the train buffs on the approach to Plymouth Laira diesel depot.

    Then when you arrive at Plymouth station,Home park floodlights can be seen on your right hand side and up the hill

    If your gonna arrive early(like me) I am gonna have a trip round bay to see where the Royal navy ships are based

    and to mention the class 23 Frigate HMS Bristol is also there

    Group save is available on GWR trains BUT not on Cross country trains,split ticketing is available  on GWR and Cross country trains

    If your joining at Bristol Parkway and any cross country train is cancelled,get yourself down to Filton Abbey Wood and connect into a GWR Plymouth/Penzance train

    Please stock up on your liquid requirements,packets of crisps and chocolate bars in advance it will be cheaper and the trains will be that busy the food/drinks trolley will struggle to get to your seat/s.

    If you want to listen to Radio Devon's commentary of the game it will be on 95:7 and DAB

    We have beaten two teams home and away so far this season Middlesbrough and Swansea.

    We still have the chance of beating another three teams at both home and away this season,Sunderland and Rotherham and Plymouth on Monday.

    The return cross country train is at 17:27pm,I have not seen anything about a return football special after the game.

    If your gonna use the Cross country service suggest reserving a seat on the 17:27pm service AND

    tweet Cross country asking if they might put on a ten coach set for the 17:27 service.

    Lets hope for a very good day in Devonshire.
