I've heard a rumour the game will be televised by SKY in New Zealand. I notice that Canal+ in Scandinavia are showing West Ham - ManUre and it says Newcastle - Ipswich on 'Canal Zap'. Does that mean they switch over when anything happens in Newcastle?

Newcastle-Ipswich is on ZAP here in Finland too. This means that there are two live matches on at the same time, and you can switch (or 'zap') between them. It's a digital thing, and you need an aerial.

I suspect you'll need more than an aerial - a TV would be pretty useful as well.

Alan, I think thats gonna be around 8pm cal time, you can still make it a blockbuster night (4 or 5 nowt would do fine) Minnesota fats, you need to find out if they carry digital cable. good luck finding one. You may want to call the local cable provider and see who/where is carrying it.

For any slow learner friends of mine (ahem) does that mean it's 'live' but on an hour's delay ?

Fox Sports 1 or 2 ?

Gutted. It's not on here in the land of the rising sun. Looks like I'll have to tune in to the quality webcast :-(

Nee Idea Lonly, saw it on the channel which advertises whats coming up and def had Toon v Ipswich @ 0300 EST.

I can confirm this afternoon and let you know if you can check your email at home or the bbs!

I shouldn't worry Goss - no email at home. I've just found the FoxSports TV listings and it is indeed scheduled for 3 am coverage, which is a bit strange (but better than a kick in the knackers)

BTW it's also down for an 11.30 am repeat on Sunday (Eastern time).

Not that you have a home to watch either in ...
