They might even get Alex Scott as the main presenter as she is on everything these days!

Fingers crossed

Great news, but could have been even better if it was on the BBC instead of Channel Four and all his advertisements.

But I supposed, it is a step in the right direction after so many years of having to have a subscription wth Sky to watch games!

Yip
Can't wait for a return to a TV deal that pays nothing (practically) and we can go back to being part time and 1 game on TV every 3 ton4 weeks like the good old days

As a Studious follower of Scotish "Ahem" Football there was no malice intended - Could easily have said Lincoln & Torquay!!!

My current 2 favourite teams to back on my Weekend Accas are Cove Rangers & Kelty Hearts - Both of whom I didn't know existed until 2 years ago!!!

No, running the IL one keeps me busy enough

But, um all for successful/professional people being associated with our game.
Plus it would bring other benefits

On the face of it this could be a great move. It all depends on Channel 4s attitude towards it. If it's along the lines of their Cricket/NFL coverage it will go a long way to growing our game.

If I have a concern it's that (I'm assuming) they have got it on the cheap so to speak and that could go one of two ways. Either that will leave more budget for the production or they could regard it as "cheap filler".

With only a 10 game season for them, will that be enough to throw everything at it? I hope so...
