Mackems on sky

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Just heard that the mackems game is on sky, which is good news for those of us stuck somewhere other than Newcastle. I love writing that Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle.

That's why it was moved to such a weird ko time. Still doesn't mean Fox will show it in the US. Not live anyway. US broadcasters get freaked out by start times that aren't on the hour or half hour, or don't fit within programming slots established ages ago. And 12n-2p(ET) is their premiership slot. My betting is that they'll show it as a tape delayed match on the following Monday. Unless Sky already have another game lined up for that slot.

Naturally I'd LOVE to be wrong about this!!!

Sky must have a game lined up for the Monday as this was the only time they could feasably show this game with Sat morning and Sunday/Monday being already allocated.

I heard a few weeks ago that the game will be live on Sky with the kick off at 5:15 in the evening! Exceptional planning that, over 5 hours potential drinking time before the most potentially explosive derby in the country. Bring your own flak jacket.
