Our Game Not Selected for TV Coverage.

[Up the Shrimpers]

Why do the TV stations believe that what we really, really want after months of saturation Premier League coverage is more all-Premier League games?!

I can understand that they don't see much chance of an upset with us, but is there anyone, outside of the fans concerned, who really wants to watch Spurs - Wigan?

I'm a little gutted as this means a Saturday 3pm kickoff, which gives me 30 seconds after full-time to file my report to the newspaper. That means I'll be working more than watching, which rather defeats the object.

Setanta can I think only show 26 Prem games this season. They have loads of Blue Square Prem games which to be honest probably get very low viewing figures. So thinking about it, it was odds on that they would want to show an all prem tie & I think the only other all Prem ties are Hull v Newcastle and Sunderland v Bolton.

I would have gone Hull - Newcastle then. Millions of geordies all over the place would watch that. They're a strange lot, the TV bunch.
