Northant Saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 This has been discussed by a couple on here already; is a big screen (in a suitable location) a feasible option for the home game versus Coventry? The game has sold out very fast and there will many no doubt hundreds, possibly thousands of fans desperate to share in the excitement of the final day. Surely the club and the council could cooperate to sort something out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyin Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Mayflower Park would do nicely. Doubt Sky would allow it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Do you really think it will drum up enough interest?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Do you really think it will drum up enough interest?! ...one match win away from the Premiership...How many fans would prefer to go shopping ..or paint their kitchen on that day? IF they don't get a big screen... then every pub in the city will have a TV in their public bar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Sky have covered a lot of our games recently, before we start talking about big screens it depends whether they plump for us in the currently vacant last-day Championship slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon 84 Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Instead of watching on the big screen, why don't you get your fat lazy arse to Middlesboro like the rest of us..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecuk268 Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Sky have covered a lot of our games recently, before we start talking about big screens it depends whether they plump for us in the currently vacant last-day Championship slot. If we're already promoted, they probably won't. They'd prefer a game where there's something at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you going to Middlesboro to watch the last Home game? Do they have a big screen there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Pompey already have that big screen in guildhall sq. Maybe they'll show their last game for the throng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 will there be a game on BBC as well as Sky last day of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I reckon there'll be loads of streams for most matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stkev7 Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 There is serious potential that all promotion and relegation will be sorted come Saturday evening so whatever Sky decide to show on the final day will be a bit pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 There is serious potential that all promotion and relegation will be sorted come Saturday evening so whatever Sky decide to show on the final day will be a bit pointless. Yeah, it's a bit surprsing. Nothing is completely settled yet, but it does seem the top, the top six and the bottom three are quite close to "nailed on". It's very possible that the title will be at stake - but I'd then expect them to cover Birmingham v Reading (possibly switching to St Mary's if Reading are losing and we are winning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I guess a total mong would say that if you're a 'proper' fan then you would have a ticket. I expect that anybody not going to this game is a pr1ck. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Look at last season - BBC were at Loftus Road for the coronation of QPR. They had already been promoted by then and it was just a case of waiting to hear about the possibility of the points deduction, which was never really going to happen. They'll probably be at Reading's game unless we manage to take the promotion decider into the last game. As for Sky, I imagine they'll find a play-off decider or us.

del boy Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Saints themselves will televise the game - there must be the technology to relay that to a site in the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 (edited) Saints themselves will televise the game - there must be the technology to relay that to a site in the city? Technology no doubt, retransmission rights have to be paid for though.You can well own the ground,the players and the equipment but the televison rights belong to The Football League who have sold packages to Sky,the BBC etc..

del boy Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Fair point - would they still be bound by the rights if they used a series of mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
