Is Saturday's game on Eurosport??

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

I'm sat in an Internet cafe in Santorini (they're everywhere these days!!) wondering if our Intertoto game is on Eurosport. Anybody know? Is kick off still at 7.00?

This on the Official Sh!te:

"Come Saturday night at 7pm and where are you going to be? At St James' Park cheering on the boys in black and white is hopefully the answer. But if you can't make it, then we have teamed up with Metro Radio again to provide you with minute-by-minute coverage of our Intertoto Cup second-leg game against Sporting Lokeren so that you won't miss a kick.

The game is not being shown live on any terrestrial TV channel, so the radio commentary provides an excellent opportunity to keep in touch with the action. Over 1,100 people tuned in last Saturday to hear our convincing 4-0 win in Lokeren, why not join them?"

Looks like it's not on Eurosport after all, but then again, it's from the official site and that's always dead accurate

PiC - they chose their words very carefully. They say it is not on terrestrial TV. That's true, but Eurosport is a satellite and cable station. Cunning stunt, eh?

Eurosport's official site: www.eurosport-tv.com/ has an update to the TV listings for Sat July 21:

2000: Football Intertoto 2001 Live. Newcastle v Lokeren.

Their schedules are CET.

So far, so good. But, of course, most UK homes get British Eurosport, which has slightly different content. A check of British Eurosport's text schedules shows: 1900 - 2100: Inter-Toto Cup!

Their schedules are CST (Central Station Time)

Assume it has to be the Newcassel match...or is their some daft rule which means they have to broadcast a foreign-based game cos it might put people off going to St James's? Is there another Inter-Toto match at that time? They wouldn't, would they?

Be fair lads - it's hardly the task of the official website to advertise that you can see the game, anywhere other than at SJP surely? And the phrase terrestrial tv is surely very widely understood? I don't think you'll find Eurosport recommending that you switch the tv off and go to SJP.

www.cableguide.co.uk says that British Eurosport are showing the match between 7 and 9.

Weh Hey, I was expecting to to be listening to it on Metro radio. I think we should keep this thread on top of the pile so everyone knows you can see it on Eurosport.

Ciara, are you able to get a link to metro radio for the game tomorrow? I am following the official shites instructions but metro isn't listed as a participant. How do you normally get a connection.

Please remember put it in simple language, I am just getting used to turning the computer on and off without a hitch. Cheers.

Syme, they typically don't open the link until 30mins before KO (they don't want any hooligans on there too early!!) I had a right old problem last w/e (but I won't bore you with that - I'll ask Galaxy). Their link took me to RealAudio but it was a flippin' Windows Media Player stream. Ciara posted the URL and I got in dorect without the orificial sh!te.

I suggest you hook into the thread on here tomorrow. A step-by-step guide for beginners and idiots (you and me) will get you on ;-)

alreet marra, I must be a begining idiot then? ;-)

Novices! ;-)

The link worked fine for me last week once I opened up the official s*ite in IE. According to nufc.com, lots of people had problems, so those of us who got through might just have been lucky. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Thanks folks, now I just need to find a bar with satellite and persuade them they need to show it! PeteT, it is very hot here! Went for a walk up the volcano and a dip in the hot mud bath earlier today.
