Title: Town on TV
Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, September 6, 2012, 12:28:00
Apparently the game on Saturday is live on Al Jazeera tv for some reason.

Guess that means a stream is available.

It makes sense. The scaffolding has been erected behind the Townend and Stratton Bank where it normally is when we're live on Sky. I presume we're going to be one of the main games on Football League Show as theres no Championship games this weekend.

Seems you are correct.

Paolo Di Canio's Swindon are indeed involved

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mm5yl

Incidentally other fans seem to think we would resent being referred to as 'PDCs Swindon'? Anyone on here wound up by it at all?

If we get extra media attention from it, then its all good in my eyes.

That's really a very good point. The team comes out to the Paolo Di Canio theme tune and we are very nearly always referred to as PdC's Swindon Town

Makes not a jot of difference to me. We could be managed by Satan himself and I would support him if the team were winning

Is it a 3pm kick-off?

I can't be arsed to look - i'm going to bed. More likely to read this forum than search for kick-off times tomorrow.

I hate it so much, I renewed my season ticket.

EDIT: I'm to young to remeber but were we ever reffered to as Lou Macari/Ossie Ardiles/Glenn Hoddle's Swindon?

Sky Channel 514 is Al Jazeera English - hope it's on that one

No - but we were known as Paul Hart's bunch of useless fuckers

It's on Al Jazeera Sport, not the news channel. We don't get the sport one over here.

Thought about this the other day and I'm loving my 'little' team being splashed about the media. Was great hearing us mentioned twice in the last 2 guardian football podcasts.

 I reckon the sponsors are loving it even more as those boards Di Canio does interviews in front of get a lot of tv time relative to the investment I reckon they've made

Good chance of a stream being available, but there is no live coverage in UK it is a 3pm kick off.

As there is a host broadcaster (IMG on behalf of BBC) in place, Al Jazeera can sit across a satellite feed.  There are normally a handful of Football League games (mainly Championship) available for international broadcasters to show.

Similiar to the 'Uddersfield FA Cup match which was live on Setanta in Ireland as well as Australia.

Sorry - should have made clear you can't subscribe ... but just proof that they're showing it was the point. As Walcot Red says, there'll likely be a stream elsewhere.
