Where to watch Saturday night's game

[wagstaff]

As the match against Port will almost certainly be on Foxtel, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether there'll be any place at Punt Road where Richmond members can watch this highly important match?

 

[Rosy]

I don't have a clue Wagstaff, but I watched the final against Brisbane at the social club. It was on a pretty dodgy makeshift screen. Maybe they've updated since then.

I know a lot of people go to the Wantirna club where they watch with a big room of Tiger fans. I know in other years it does tend to sell out though.

If I don't go to Adeaide my only option up here will be to snuggle up by the fire in the lounge in my Tigers gear and watch on telly.

Does anyone else put on any Richmond colours to sit and watch a game in their own house, ha? ;D

I do, hell I'll even put the scarf on this weekend to listen to the game on the radio seeing it's not on free to air

The Wantirna club is pretty close to where I live and even closer to where my parents live, that will hopefully be the place for me.

Does anyone know who will be picking up this match on TV? Channel 10 or Foxtel?

 

[Rosy]

Wagstaff, they said on Club Corner last night that the game will be shown at the Royal Oak, but they didn't seem to think it would be on at the Social Club.

The game is on Fox Footy TigerFury, Eddiewood/Sydney is the free to air coverage.

That doesn't surprise me that the Pies Swans game will be on channel ten.
I'm glade we have the fox footy channels.

I realise why we are not being shown on free to air as we are playing an interstate side (ratings) but it still ticks me off no end that if you live in Melbourne you can get off your fat bum and go to the Callemnogood/Sydney (7th v 9th) match whereas we can't see the Tiges in a 2nd vs 5th and match of the round battle. Probably won't be on melbourne radio either and will be forced to listen to biased 5aa over the net which is almost a fate worse than death (i.e. listening to 6pr).

Two reasons to weld your radio shut MT.

1. 5aa
2. 6pr

Listening to either of them you would reckon that only the local side was out on the field playing. And not forgetting the inferiority complex anti-Victorian drivel they go on and on and on about. Paranoia plus :.

This is why channel 7 was much better than the current setup. They would always show an interstate game on free to air. Why not schedule the collingwood sydney game during the day on saturday at Telstra dome. Why have 2 games on saturday night then telecast the one that people in melbourne can actually go to see. Eddie keeps on crying about how the AFL are favouring Brisbane, I would have thought the pies are pretty well looked after aswell.

I think the reason for this one Harry is that 9 and 10 have guaranteed Sydney viewers coverage of every Swans game this year on free to air. At least I think that's the case. I live in NSW and so far every Swans game has been televised up here.

So I think the swans are the culprits for this broadcasting debacle not Eddiewood.

Why not schedule the collingwood sydney game during the day on saturday at Telstra dome. Why have 2 games on saturday night then telecast the one that people in melbourne can actually go to see.

The scheduling of matches is dictated by the TV Rights agreement.

To allow Channels 9, 10 & Fox to show all their games under the agreement the games are scheduled as follows:

1 on Friday night for Channel 9
2 Sat. arvo - 1 for Ten to replay (show on delay) and the other for Fox to show live
2 Sat. night - 1 for ten to show either live or on delay and the Other for Fox to show live
3 on Sunday. 1 starting at 1.00pm for 9 to show live and then the other they show at 4.00pm. Fox get the other Sunday game and are allowed to show it live.

Under the agreement Fox are guaranteed 3 games live. Channels 9 & 10 pick the games they want and Fox get the scrapes.

Channels 9 & 10 choose which games they want 4 weeks in adavance. Guaranteed when they saw the draw Channel 10 - Port -v- Rich, Top 3 -v- bottom 3 - not on you're life.

The actual scheduling of games will not change for the life of this agreement.
