Pamplemousse Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 BT have announced theirs; no Saints games being shown
angelman Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 So Sky are showing.... 8 times - Man Utd 7 times - Arsenal, Liverpool 6 times - Chelsea, Man City 5 times - Aston Villa, QPR, Spurs 4 times - Everton 3 times - everyone else (ie 11 teams) Why anyone thinks that Villa and QPR will offer any entertainment is beyond me.
stevegrant Posted 14 July, 2014 Author Posted 14 July, 2014 Also, Arsenal away has been pushed back a day to Wednesday 3rd December as a result of the Manchester City game being televised.

So with BT added ... 11 times = Man Utd. 10 times = Liverpool 9 times = Arsenal, Man City 7 times = Chelsea 6 times = Everton, Spurs, Villa, QPR 5 times = Newcastle 4 times = Burnley, Stoke, West Ham, WBA, Swansea 3 times = SAINTS, Hull, Palace, Sunderland, Leicester

Liverpool was inevitable but early on Sun is annoying
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 "Big Nose" Thompson on SSN gloating over Liverpool's 1st 5 games on Sky. The 6th? Its Everton, so must be on BT. Lallana will be seen coming on in the 75th min every week.
ecuk268 Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Don't mind that. Most games will be 3.00 on a Saturday which suits me fine. If you're not local, you can usually find a stream to watch.
September Saint Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Could have been a lot worse. Villa is relatively near (apart from London sides) No late kick-offs Saturday or Sunday
angelman Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Don't mind that. Most games will be 3.00 on a Saturday which suits me fine. If you're not local, you can usually find a stream to watch. Sure 3pm Saturday is good, but what do clubs get - £750k a game is it? So we are losing out big time on that front. Like last year and the year before. One might be forgiven in thinking that the TV companies don't like Saints.

Do find it weird we're so low down the pecking order - didn't expect us to be up there with Liverpool, Man Utd etc, but didn't expect us to be rock bottom either.
corky morris Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 At least we don't have to put up with the idiots on BT Sport talk utter nonsense!! David James is shocking!!
Nolan Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 I'm very surprised that Saints at White Hart Lane on October 4th isn't a TV pick. Do they expect Poch to be sacked by then?

Assuming the Jesus Perez managed side (Mopo dosen't do Cup games after all) make it through the play-off round, then the game will be moved to the Sunday anyway. The games against Hull and Everton aren't affected.

It's more about viewing figures than entertainment and I would presume (though may be wrong) that QPR and Villa garner more viewers than Southampton. Same reason why Man Utd is being shown more than City, despite the latter winning the league etc.
nta786 Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 BT Sport didn't televise us until that New Year's Day game vs Chelsea which we lost 3-0... How many games were televised last season? Spurs Home and Away, Chelsea Home and Away, Man City Away, Liverpool Home, Everton Home, Arsenal Home??, Fulham Home, Sunderland Away, Crystal Palace Away?? Or was it West Ham away?? and was Hull another televised game? my memory is poor lol

Saxon Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 At least we don't have to put up with the idiots on BT Sport talk utter nonsense!! David James is shocking!! David James' anti Saints attitude was so unbelievable last season. Will not miss that one bit, used to wind me up no end. Skate fu**w*t.

BlakeySFC Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Out of interest, how many televised games did Sky/BT pick up before Xmas last year? West Ham at home (0-0), Fulham at home (2-0) I remember but were there any others? Also for those saying 'we're missing out on £750k' etc. if Sky don't show 10 of our games a season then they just pay us as if they put us on TV 10 times anyway.

I think that rule was quietly removed from the broadcasting contract that started last season. However, there are upper and lower limits for each of the seven packages that Sky and BT bid on as part of the current contract: Essentially, that graphic shows that Sky and BT could get away with showing a club as few as five times over the entire season, or as many as 28 (strangely, exactly the number of times Liverpool were shown last season) of 38 league games.
UpweySaint Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 And they wonder why people watch things illegally ... why on earth would a saints, hull, palace etc fan stump up for sky sports when we are on twice as it stands?
Batman Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 And they wonder why people watch things illegally ... why on earth would a saints, hull, palace etc fan stump up for sky sports when we are on twice as it stands? to watch other games?
UpweySaint Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 to watch other games? Okay pedantic ... but come now, surely you agree that watching your own teams games you can't get to is a large part of the draw of sky/bt sport packages? Respect the fact it is simple marketing - potential utd and liverpool 'fans' are a bigger audience but the way it is split is likely to marginalise fans of the clubs not seeing much screentime.

Respect the fact it is simple marketing - potential utd and liverpool 'fans' are a bigger audience but the way it is split is likely to marginalise fans of the clubs not seeing much screentime. I like watching other games with very good players playing. More so that we 'mix it' with these teams I am glad we are not on as much, so many (me included) moan like hell when games are moved for TV anyway and our games are easily available online via various sites
LGTL Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 As someone who does every game, I'm delighted we are only on 3 times. I'd rather it was 0 though.
SO16_Saint Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 How much a month would you pay to watch (legally) all Saints home and away games on tv? £30 per month? More?
SO16_Saint Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 As someone who does every game, I'm delighted we are only on 3 times. I'd rather it was 0 though. Seriously? How do you afford it? Your missus must be a saint!
saintwbu Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Was looking forward to seeing us turn over Liverpool at Anfield on the 16th. Now i'll miss the game because i will be on a plane on the 17th. Wonderful, thanks Sky.
SNSUN Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 I thought we'd be on TV a lot as we've sold all our players and are most likely going to get soundly beaten by every team we play against. Im actually glad we aren't on Sky much, I've been known to get lazy and skip games if it's on TV. I'm determined to get to SMS more than the thrice I made it last season. (Shift work pending.)
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Hate how TV can ruin best laid plans, but mostly hacked off that they couldn't even manage to move any games when I'm away on holiday this year.
aintforever Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 I guess they are expecting us to be sh!t because we flogged all our best players.
Griffo Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 6.59 start from London Euston, bus to Hemel Hempstead, train to Northampton, then change to Rugby and then on to Liverpool. Cheers Sky!
Turkish Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 6.59 start from London Euston, bus to Hemel Hempstead, train to Northampton, then change to Rugby and then on to Liverpool. Cheers Sky! Stop complaining, you are nothing. People in Abergavenny who pay their £60 a month subscription matter more than you. Think of them with their 13.15 start, having to rush their Sunday lunch to make it to the sofa. shut up you piece of scum, just get on your train, pay your ticket and look exited for the camera when we get a corner. You are nothing. NOTHING.
LGTL Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Seriously? How do you afford it? Your missus must be a saint! No kids, low mortgage and a missus who knew the score before we got together!
John D Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 No kids, low mortgage and a missus who knew the score before we got together! I remember those days - now I have two kids and a big mortgage. Still got the understanding missus so make it to 15 odd games a season but often with a kid in tow now!
toe_punt Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 How much a month would you pay to watch (legally) all Saints home and away games on tv? £30 per month? More? Zero, because all 38 games are on live TV here for free. Not pay per view, just NBC. USA! USA! USA!
Saint_Abroad Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Zero, because all 38 games are on live TV here for free. Not pay per view, just NBC. USA! USA! USA! *high five* That and going to the pub and drinking at 7:45AM for 12:45 PM kick offs, at least on the east coast.
SO16_Saint Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 No kids, low mortgage and a missus who knew the score before we got together! This makes me jealous. wanna swap?
tpbury Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Well, I know you lot must be hacked off, but for the Saints diaspora in Oz, the early kick off is excellent news!
Bucks Saint Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Sorry to be slightly off track but which is the best App to use that puts individual team's fixtures and KO times in your calendar (outlook ideally) and then automatically moves them when the fixtures are changed? Had one last season and it was excellent, used it for Saints and a couple of others I wanted to look out for, but it has disappeared. When I searched there are loads that come up but most are crap, WC related, or still have last season's dates.

Baird of the land Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Disappointing news, would have hoped our performances last year would have warranted more televised games. Strange that we're on less than Stoke, Swansea, WBA etc.
