Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 On Sky http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2379287,00.html
trousers Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Leeds fans drinking all day in Southampton....? hmmm....
100%Red&White Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Wahey! Good old Sky, must have known I'd be miles away on holiday. Again.
doggface Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 yes!!! means i get to watch us here in canada get in
sussexsaint Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 We will win, its time to shake off the jinxes of the past and move forward -We can'ty lose everytime we are on TV that certainly won't do when we are in the champions league now will it I remember us playing Leicester on the opening day of the season once on the TV, SKP scored a cracker ( I may have dreamed this though)
beatlesaint Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Leeds fans drinking all day in Southampton....? hmmm.... Yeah, bet the Police just love Sky right now !!
fromdayone Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Wahey! Good old Sky, must have known I'd be miles away on holiday. Again. + 1
The9 Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Brilliant, we can move out of the bottom three to a lower-midtable position before kick off...
Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2011 Author Posted 20 June, 2011 I remember us playing Leicester on the opening day of the season once on the TV, SKP scored a cracker ( I may have dreamed this though) You did dream it, because that game was a 3pm kickoff and not on Sky.
Ludwig Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 third season in a row we're on TV first game, will be the fourth game in six seasons, also.
Ludwig Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 third season in a row we're on TV first game, will be the fourth game in six seasons, also. Derby (on TV) Cardiff Palace Millwall (on TV) Plymouth (on TV) Leeds (on TV)
The9 Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Derby (on TV) Cardiff Palace Millwall (on TV) Plymouth (on TV) Leeds (on TV) Two draws, a defeat and a don't know. Though compared to our usual opening day performances that's not really a bad record.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2011 Author Posted 20 June, 2011 The Coventry vs Leicester "derby" at 12:30 is the other TV game that weekend for the Football League. Possibly could also be a Friday night game, like there was last season.
sussexsaint Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 You did dream it, because that game was a 3pm kickoff and not on Sky. Right , well I must have been there then Anyway I still think we'll win
Appy Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Anyone who thinks we still have the "sky curse" is clueless.
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Anyone who thinks we still have the "sky curse" is clueless. Indeed, and the "sky curse" actually just coincided with us being crap anyway so no big deal really. Don't think we've done too bad on TV recently as my memory recalls, beat Sheff Wed 2-0 last season, won 3 JPT games on Sky this season before that.
West End Saint Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Get in I am away in Spain fantastic news that I will be able to see the game right result thank you Sky
mcjwills Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Can't understand it why the Skates are not on TV, they are the biggest team in the world with the bestest fans ever
Crazy Diamond Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Yet another of our fixtures on the opening day is being televised. I really wish they'd give it a rest. That's three seasons in a row now, our first Championship fixture was televised (Wolves, 2005) too.
Thedelldays Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Yet another of our fixtures on the opening day is being televised. I really wish they'd give it a rest. That's three seasons in a row now, our first Championship fixture was televised (Wolves, 2005) too. why should they give it a rest...? does not stop you from going.. odd comment
SaintBobby Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Pleased with this. Usually miss first home game of the season on holiday, but can watch this one from Las Vegas (I hope!)
Toomer Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Sky ITO must think we are two of the teams that will be there or there abouts come the shake up.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2011 Author Posted 20 June, 2011 Sky ITO must think we are two of the teams that will be there or there abouts come the shake up. Well...Skybet do have Saints as joint 4th favourites to win the league.
The9 Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Anyone who thinks we still have the "sky curse" is clueless. Or ever did. We pretty much used to lose loads of games on tv because we used to lose loads of games generally.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 I really hate how Sky can mess about with fixtures like this - totally screws with my plans for the evening. ):
Turkish Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 obviously Sky know something, maybe they want to be there for Shay Given, Matthew Upson and Scott Parkers Southampton debuts and see the most expensively assembled championship side in history?
sidthesquid Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 I fear the SKY curse again. Don't forget the 'first home game' curse. When did we last win? We're doomed from the start..... Or maybe we just accept the inevitable and recover to another great season, like the last one
Lighthouse Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Just how many games do we have to win on Sky before mongs stop monging on about the "Sky curse". It seems like every time we win a game on Sky people ignore it. Then after a few good results we get one defeat and it's "ooooh the sky curse again". Some of our fans are a bunch of druids. There is no "first game of the season curse" either it's just a combination of tough away games and opponents being cagey and not wanting to loose. That and repeatedly awful pre-season preparation. I just hope he can still walk to the stadium after another couple of hours in the pub.

Crazy Diamond Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 why should they give it a rest...? does not stop you from going.. odd comment It is not an odd comment. I am quite frankly sick of kick-off times being moved. For all you know it could stop me going. If I want your opinion on my attendance at games, I'll be sure to ask, thanks.
the saint in winchester Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Wahey! Good old Sky, must have known I'd be miles away on holiday. Again. Me too. Shall be in Cyprus. Hopefully there will be a bar within walking distance that has access to Sky Sports.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Me too. Shall be in Cyprus. Hopefully there will be a bar within walking distance that has access to Sky Sports. Don't put yourself out too much.
bpsaint Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Derby (on TV) Cardiff Palace Millwall (on TV) Plymouth (on TV) Leeds (on TV) You could also add the Wolves game the season prior to the one starting against Derby as that was also televised. Of the 7 seasons out of the Prem our first match has been shown 5 times by Sky. FWIW i'm a bit of a traditionalist too, and hate when our Saturday kick offs get moved from 3pm.
Willo Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Anyone who thinks we still have the "sky curse" is clueless. It reminds me of all the people who bemoaned Lawro predicting a saints win (back in the prem days), and would say "well, we've got no chance now - we never win when Lawro predicts it". I recall somone once bothered to compile a league table based on all of Lawro's predictions throughout a season, and his final table was remarkably close to the actual one.
ant Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 wont the cameras now see our new flag..? All going well - and hopefully it'll mean the Liebherrs see the tribute in some form if they're not at the match Even if anybody wants to carry on the silly 'Sky curse' trot, didn't we win our last televised game (Sheffield Wednesday at home)?

doddisalegend Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 OH FFS football is supposed to be played at 3.00pm on a saturday except for the odd evening game on a tuesday.... I really wish sky would just f uck off so football could go back to being about the fans rather than TV revenue.
RedArmy Posted 20 June, 2011 Posted 20 June, 2011 Was the Blackburn game 04/05 on TV too? Possibly PPV.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2011 Author Posted 20 June, 2011 Was the Blackburn game 04/05 on TV too? Possibly PPV. It was on TV but it wasn't the opening game of the season, Saints played Aston Villa the week before.
