Help Sky TV~

[The Artful Shrimper]

Chaps,
I have penned a letter or two

to Sky TV about next months fixtures and urged them to show the Southend Yeovil game...somewhere. Obviously this is completly selfish as yours truly has booked a holiday in Orlando

. Anyway. IF they listen to me and show this corker, can I view it in the US ? where? are there internet cafes as a last resort?
I'm booked right outside the Walt disney complex in the NikkiBird hotel so if anyones got info let me know.
I was determined to rest my mind for two weeks and come back to a glorious party at Grimsby...but...come on...it aint gonna happen is it....I'm not going to switch off....

Thanks

Artful - Fox Sports show all the Sky games. I was out in Florida for the Luton match and watched it at an Irish sports bar called Beef O'Brady's on either the 192 or the US 92 can't remember which do a search on the net but it was only about ten minutes from Disney.

Indeed. But you've got to get Sky to show it. And even then they probably won't show it on a Saturday afternoon unless it's a 12:30 kick-off or something because of League rulings that mean that it can't be shown at the normal 3pm slot. But I'm with you, Artful. I'd love to see the game televised ... and so would Snowy since he's out here that weekend!

Here here i will back this campaign as i foolishly booked holiday for this period too and miss the last two home games (back in time for Grismby away). Why the one year i think it will not matter, what have we ever had to play for with five games to go, especially as i was bookign the holiday four games into the season.

Fox is the way ahead...i watched the lads vs "the island of canvey" when out in San Francisco....Top result...

Cheers for the replies,
I have enlisted the help of some Glovers, sent e-mails to Fox Sports, Sky and asked Teddy Taylor for his influence.

I can only bend down on bended knees to all serial letter writers to accordingly contact the powers that be.

I emailed Fox Sports at the weekend to see if they're showing the LDV final - as I fly out to Orlando on Friday 8th (DOH!)

No reply yet. Thanks for the info about the bar Dave.

Fri 29th - Wet Sham v Sunderland 1945

Sat 30th - Preston v Wigan 1215
Bolton v Chelsea 1715

Sun 1st - Spurs v Villa 1300 (Prem Plus)

It's a great little sports bar with about 15 TV's on. I sat down next to one of the small ones and they were kind enough to offer to put it on the big screen for me.

So there was me in Southend shirt screaming at the screen as we lost 3-0 much to the bemusement of the Yanks.

hope its NOT on sky, we never perform when were on sky and lose with a poor permormance. also the tv money would have to be more than the potential loss of attendance of people sitting at home rather watching the game on tv

The LDV Final WILL be televised on Sky.

.. but will NOT be televised on the Fox Soccer Channel in the USA - I've just checked their latest scheduling and they are showing Aston Villa v West Brom - PANTS!

Right plan B - subscription to Blues World and an internet cafe to listen to the commentary.

Anyone found a decent internet cafe in Orlando?

Garry there's loads of Tourist Information type places with cheap internet access along the 192.
