Big Screen in Southampton for the Final Day

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?

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.

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)

I suspect one will be ours if we have anything to play for

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.

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..
