    [Albion] Saints game

    The delay to sale is purely because the date and time for any PL matches beyond 11th April have yet to be announced, for the same reason we cannot yet purchase Tottenham away tickets. It's not a sign a game will be televised.

    [Albion] Saints game

    I'd say there's little chance it would be the Saturday lunchtime slot even it was picked for TV. That's BT's slot, who are almost certain to pick whichever one of Arsenal v Man Utd or Liverpool v Everton Sky doesn't choose first. Added to that, the Champions League Semis are the midweek after...

    [Albion] Which FA Cup fourth round ties would YOU televise live?

    The formula over the past decade or two for picking TV games at R3 & 4 seems to be primarily "lower division at home vs (decent) Premier League team" and "blockbuster (big 6 v big 6) all-PL tie", then see who Manchester United and Liverpool are playing, as they are really the only two teams...

    [Albion] Chelsea fixture now 18th January 8pm ko

    Another part of the reason why this can be played now is because that midweek was designated for FA Cup 3rd Round Replays - which have of course been scrapped. Given we had 3 games to rearrange - all against teams still in either European competition or likely to go far in the domestic Cups...

    [Albion] Sky Sports Match of the Day v Saints

    Yes, it was supposed to start at 2am but previous overruns to the schedule pushed it to 2.10am and going 10 mins past the scheduled end time. Sky recordings should have continued, but if you're on Virgin Media, they don't bother updating their EPG so would have just cut off at the original time...

    Big fan of this.

    [Football] TV fixtures for December

    That's true but it's not so much the fixtures that cause the problems - it's where to put them. Because, as an example, if Amazon choose 4 games for the Thursday that impacts Sky and, particularly, BT because they then have fewer teams to be able to select on the following Saturday. We know...

    [Football] TV fixtures for December

    December's TV picks are currently the most complicated of the season due to; all 3 TV broadcasters being involved (the only month it includes Amazon), the highest number of rounds in a single month (7) and the public Holidays/policing limitations this time of year entails (which limit certain...

    [Music] What is the greatest TV sports theme of all time?

    I'll give you Superstars - it is brilliant. But Grandstand shades it for me. It's so jaunty but builds throughout to a terrific crescendo. The tune should have been retained for some other sort of BBC Sport programme. So good it was nicked by The Motors...

    [Football] West Ham Away

    It's because West Ham are playing the previous Sunday, so the game will now either be Wednesday or Thursday and live on Amazon Prime.

    [Football] History of the Brighton v Palace rivalry, LIVE talk Wednesday July 14th

    I’ve viewed a previous History Indoors talk about football in the 80s and it was very good, well informed and nicely communicated. Looking forward to this one.

    [Football] What is the MINIMUM expectation for England / Southgate at the EUROS?

    Given the inexperience of much of this squad, I think Quarter Finals is an acceptable result. However, with a potential for 6 England games at Wembley, that would feel somewhat of an underachievement and the Semi Finals should be the realistic aim for the quality we have.

    [Albion] Which position will we finish in?

    I think Newcastle will win so whatever happens at Arsenal, they'll finish above us. Palace and Southampton to both lose heavily. I'd take a draw at Arsenal in order to get a new high points tally.

    [Albion] Are we on TV on Sunday?

    We're on Sky Sports Arena (Sky ch 408) https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12310563/premier-league-final-day-live-on-sky-sports-chelsea-liverpool-leicester-in-top-four-battle

    [Albion] Are we on TV on Sunday?

    An Arsenal win, and both Tottenham and Everton failing to do so, will see them finish 7th and therefore a spot in the new Europa Conference League. Technically something to play for, although their desire to take part in that may be negligible. Sky are focussing primarily on the top 6 spots, so...

    [TV] Football on TV What Next?

    Just to add, that would only be the case for teams playing in the Champions League on the preceding Wednesday. BT's main slot is still 12.30pm, but now have the flexibility to move their pick to 7.45pm to help out teams competing in Europe.

    [Football] 22 WSL games to be shown live on BBC TV from next season

    This is the first time the WSL TV rights deal has gone for a fee (£8million per year - equates to the rough cost of a single PL match). Previous deals have been given away, with the broadcaster just having to cover the cost of production. So this is a step in the right direction, as Albion will...
