Dave Youell Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 AWESOME! Will we have pundit? Doesn't say how long the show is on for either, could easily be a 2 hour show, not that I think it will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich-TWSC- Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 That would be a bit good (although obviously the Premier League should follow the glorious Football League). I've just realised that you're a fellow Westbury man. I'll be waiting at the station tooled up later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcityman Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I suppose anything is better than ITV, but I get the feeling it won't be much better, just a tugging session over newcastle, wba, ipswich, forest, and derby, while the rest of us are fed scraps, pretty much like MOTD.

Rich-TWSC- Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Remember when Mark Lawrenson used to turn up for South West matches showed on ITV in the mid-90's? I'd guess that It'll be Jake Humphrey presenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixit Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 These are the finalised details for BBC coverage: The Football League Show, begins on Saturday August 8 at 11.10pm on BBC One, and will showcase all the goals from the Coca-Cola Championship, League 1 and League 2. In subsequent weeks, it will follow Match of the Day, Presenter Manish Bhasin, formerly of Football Focus, will be joined in the studio by ex-player Steve Claridge, with Radio 5 Live regular Mark Clemmit as roving reporter. The show will be made available on Red Button until midday the next day (Sunday), and on iPlayer for seven days. Live coverage of the League also returns to the BBC for the first time since 1988, in the form of ten matches from the Championship. First up is West Bromwich Albion v Newcastle United on Saturday August 8 at 5.20pm on BBC One, with BBC Sport Online simulcasting the live games and providing match edits of the weekend games' highlights. Also back for the first time since 1987 will be live League Cup coverage, with the final and one leg of each semi final being broadcast live. A highlights programme will bring all the action from each round, beginning on Wednesday August 12 with Macclesfield Town v Leicester City as the lead match.

'Orns Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Nice one, thanks for the update. Shame about Steve Claridge but the presenter isn't bad! Claridge! Oh great joys. Enjoy Clem though, he'll make it worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Cigar Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Mark Clemmit is fabulous. He knows his stuff, is a down to earth bloke, and rather funny too. Steve Claridge gets right up my nose. Still a shame the BBC only managed to secure 10 live games for the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixit Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 have the bbc said anything about a midweek show or is it just saturday No plans at the moment for a league highlights show during the week on BBC-1, but Points West will have access to all the pictures. BBC have online rights so midweek games will probably be available there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim S Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Clemmit is a patronising tosser. I dont mind Clem at all - Steve Claridge is the person that I cant stand. If he wasnt the pundit on the show then it might just have been half decent. Sadly they couldnt quite get that right! Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South_Coast_Red Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm well chuffed the BBC have picked this up but I do hope they give this show more than ITV's hour long slot (or 50 mins I suppose when you account for the ads). If they're showing goals from all three divisions there's hardly going to be much time for 'highlights'. Edit: Chuffed apart for Claridge, he's a right...

Dave Youell Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hopefully if this pulls in good ratings we could end up with a mid week show, all the games are always filmed, so it wouldn't cost too much to put something together surely?

HomerRed Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just looked at the Radio Times online which says the first highlights show is 11.45pm to 1am next Saturday . . . The Football League Show Saturday 08 August 11:45pm - 1:00am BBC1 Highlights from the day's Football League games. Newcastle start life in the Championship in a match that just six months ago was a Premier League clash, as West Bromwich Albion welcome the fallen heroes. Ian Holloway returns to QPR with his Blackpool team, while Cardiff City open their brand new stadium that sits in the shadow of Ninian Park. Nigel Clough leads Derby against Darren Ferguson's Peterborough, and Southampton meet losing play-off finalists Millwall in League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Mmm its 11.45 isn't it this Saturday, I reckon that will be its natural time straight after MOTD when that comes back the following week. Much better to have things back on the BBC, Sky's coverige is superb but ITV was a token gesture of a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timh59 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 The second show on 15th August is 75 minutes long (11.20pm-12.35am); after 'Match of the Day', which is on from 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
