Why have BBC been allowed to broadcast Spurs vs WBA at the same time as Bolton vs. Boro? Does this affect how much money Sky pay us for the match? Cos you can imagine most casual fans will opt to NOT PAY the ??6 for Bolton's game in favour of a FREEVIEW match featuring 2 Prem sides.

we get a fixed figure for tv appearances

makes no difference.

 

the world will be watching leyth tonight as 21st century super league meets 18th century laymen.

 

quote from leyth boss int paper today.....

 

Not many would choose the words "lovely little ground " to describe Hilton Park. In his BBC commentaries Eddie Waring used to refer to the "Satanic Mills End " in reference to the skyline of mills and mines behind one set of posts, and Abram has made much in Leigh's Super League build-up of the need to make the visiting glamour boys feel as uncomfortable as possible.

 

"The players aren 't going to find a nice shiny coathanger for their tracksuits - they might have to make do with a rusty nail," he warned, tongue only half in cheek." And they can expect a hostile crowd hanging over the barriers to give them abuse."

Come on Leigh!

 

They remind me so much of the Wanderers from 4 years ago.

Unliked, unfancied and unwelcome in the big boys league.

Can someone sort a trip to Leyth out please? Ta!

It does mean unfortunately that all the pubs round here won't pay when they can show Spurs for free.
