Macey_J2 Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Sat 28th July Southampton v Ajax 15:00 Channel 5 / Channel 5 HD http://www.live-footballontv.com/ Sounds good!
Webby Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Yep, tv for me too. Need to save cash whenever I can unfortunately. More cash for a league game.
Nexstar Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Wonder what the club get for this. Will drop a large % off of the gate
The9 Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 (edited) Wonder what the club get for this. Will drop a large % off of the gate PLENTY of people will have bought the 3 matches for £47 deal already, and a lot of the plastic walk-up fans won't even notice it's on tv. But yeah, it'll stop a few who do know from going... including me. Glad I can save a few more quid for Prem away games. Virgin Media planner only currently goes up to 6am that morning so I'll have to wait til tomorrow to set it to record. Edited 15 July, 2012 by The9
dune Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 That's a result. There's gonna be a lot of empty seats....
S-Clarke Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Odd one....I'll still go there, need my fix of football after going without it for months!
itchen_dan Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Result as far as I'm concerned!! Was gonna go but can now put the money towards Arsenal away instead!
Seaside Saint 2 Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 I was trying to decide whether to go to this one or the Wigan game, thanks Channel 5 for making the decision for me
Didcot Saint Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 I'm still going to the game. Day out, couple of beers, nothing resting on the result and live football!!
sammysaint Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Good the ST has made me broke, gutted the away games i wanted to go to are right at the start of the season, no way am i gonna pay the ST off until November then il have xmas, so any games on TV is a bonus when its not a league home game.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Not going because it's on TV and then diss the JCL's?! Is that what supporters are made of nowadays? Personally I prefer to see my team play live and in doing so support the club. OK, if you can't afford it - that's tough - but to miss a home game against top opposition because it's on TV - that's pretty sad.
the saint in winchester Posted 15 July, 2012 Posted 15 July, 2012 Result for me as well. Had a commitment in the evening that ruled me out from getting there and back in time. This means I can watch the game on TV and still get ready for 6pm departure. Thank you Channel 5.
ericofarabia Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Bonus .... saves me a couple of days unpaid leave and about 700 quid in air fares not to mention the pre / post match booze plus 3 pints and 4 burgers at halftime.
CB Fry Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Personally I prefer to see my team play live and in doing so support the club. OK, if you can't afford it - that's tough - but to miss a home game against top opposition because it's on TV - that's pretty sad. It's a pre season friendly of no consequence. If its a sunny day I doubt I'll even watch it on TV. Berating people for not paying money to watch a nothing game is taking Uberfan-ness to the extreme.
Chorlton Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 PLENTY of people will have bought the 3 matches for £47 deal already, and a lot of the plastic walk-up fans won't even notice it's on tv. But yeah, it'll stop a few who do know from going... including me. Glad I can save a few more quid for Prem away games. Virgin Media planner only currently goes up to 6am that morning so I'll have to wait til tomorrow to set it to record. Apols if I have missed the irony, but are they 'plastic walk up fans', if they are walking up to a Friendly? The need to feel a better fan at SMS and on here is astounding. Though if it is some sort of in-joke, then really, I apologise!
Golden Balls Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I'll still be there. Brothers birthday and already committed to it
Dr Who? Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 So happy about this, as it saves me a journey..... for a league game!
wireframebox Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Team GB and Jack Cork take on Cameroon later that day on TV too!
St.Patrik Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 (trying to sound young) so this means this game will be streamed as well for us outside UK ?

Personally I prefer to see my team play live and in doing so support the club. OK, if you can't afford it - that's tough - but to miss a home game against top opposition because it's on TV - that's pretty sad. I was quite happy to miss games which didn't mean anything at home last season as well - notably the whole of our Carling Cup run. If it comes down to watching our reserves in the Cup or a non-competitive home match against watching a competitive away match, as I'm already going to all 19 home league games, I'll take the competitive away match option every time.
beavis17 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Team GB and Jack Cork take on Cameroon later that day on TV too! Is Cork playing for the Women's team now?!

The need to feel a better fan at SMS and on here is astounding. Though if it is some sort of in-joke, then really, I apologise! Not all of them, just the ones who are suddenly desperate to have any Saints match in their life now we're back in the Prem, who didn't give a toss for most of the previous 7 years. There were plenty of them around on Saturday too.
Macey_J2 Posted 16 July, 2012 Author Posted 16 July, 2012 (trying to sound young) so this means this game will be streamed as well for us outside UK ? Yes!
wireframebox Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Is Cork playing for the Women's team now?! Doh! I thought it looked like we had a lot of games!?
fairoakjon Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Is it actually confirmed anywhere official? http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/rj4df/live-football--southampton-v-ajax
saintbob40 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Team GB v Brazil on BBC Friday night......Cork played as part of a midfield three with Giggs and Micah Richards (...?) in a friendly with Mexico U-23s yesterday in Spain. Three 30 minute sessions-they lost one-nil.
Saintandy666 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/rj4df/live-football--southampton-v-ajax Cheers
Tom & Gerry Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Wow, now I know we are back in the big time when our frendlies are on TV
lordswoodsaints Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I've just heard all of the Pompey friendlies are being shown on the comedy channel.
SO16_Saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I've just heard all of the Pompey friendlies are being shown on the comedy channel. I heard it was the History channel...because that's what they will be soon.
dune Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Team GB and Jack Cork take on Cameroon later that day on TV too! Question Time?
Golden Balls Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Not all of them, just the ones who are suddenly desperate to have any Saints match in their life now we're back in the Prem, who didn't give a toss for most of the previous 7 years. There were plenty of them around on Saturday too. Good. I welcome them with open arms
countysaint Posted 17 July, 2012 Posted 17 July, 2012 Result as far as I'm concerned!! Was gonna go but can now put the money towards Arsenal away instead! Who says you'll get a ticket for Arsenal away? I asked first!!!
The9 Posted 17 July, 2012 Posted 17 July, 2012 Good. I welcome them with open arms That's your prerogative, they mildly annoy me.

Junction 9 Posted 17 July, 2012 Posted 17 July, 2012 Channel 5? Maybe this is a Europa league preliminary round? Nobody else wants to be in it.
The9 Posted 17 July, 2012 Posted 17 July, 2012 well at least you admit you are a plastic fan You must have missed the bit about "going to all 19 home league games" and some competitive away games ?

Personally I prefer to see my team play live and in doing so support the club. OK, if you can't afford it - that's tough - but to miss a home game against top opposition because it's on TV - that's pretty sad. People have lives outside of football matches. Not many people over the age of about 20 base their July Saturdays around friendly kick around matches. HTH.
InvictaSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Interviewer at h-t stated in chat with Steven Davis that he was Recovering from a double hernia op; was this known about by anybody outside the club? Can't recall it being mentioned.
The9 Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Interviewer at h-t stated in chat with Steven Davis that he was Recovering from a double hernia op; was this known about by anybody outside the club? Can't recall it being mentioned. "Minor injury" was all we'd heard until now - surprised anyone managed to work out what he was saying tbh, bit of an accent.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 29 July, 2012 Posted 29 July, 2012 I actually thought the CH5 commentary was good. Both seemed to have done homework on saints. They mixed up commentating on game with some informative info with out ever waffling.
