I was having a look at the other fixtures being played on Tuesday night and there is bugger all for Sky to show apart from our game (Aldershot v Carlisle, Orient v Bristol R in the LC and a load of Paint Pot Trophy games).

Seeing as Sky have the League Cup and it's no an unattractive tie, I wonder what the chances are? :hmmm:

Although I suspect if it was going to happen it would have already been announced. Or would it?

It's too late now I'd have thought.

I guess they show a certain amount of games in the second round and I would imagine they have used the quota already.

Doubt it.

We're on Sky the saturday after anyway against Rotherham. Twice in the space of a week, no way.

di Canio factor? We know how much sky wank over any premier league connection

They're showing Bradford vs Sheffield Wednesday in the JPT.

Cant believe they picked the Rotherham game. Daft.

I don't think so Spence. I think it'll be a good game.

Saves me 40 notes in petrol

I just wished they always picked away games. I'd love to watch us on TV, but wouldn't sacrifice watching us live (and don't have Sky Sports).

Flat cap, Whippets and Pigeon fanciers derby I guess...

Instead of watching the games on television, why not try attending some games and actually support the team?   ::) :D

Says the man that went clubbing instead of going on sunday ;)

Proved to be a fucking good decision really didn't it?

I hate watching Swindon on tv, I get too worked up and can't relax at all.

If i'm actually at the game, it's different, don't know why.

nonsense DMR, if you can't experience the lows then you won't appreciate the highs.

Its true.I've always thought its because if your at the game you can sing and clap and support the team,can't do that sat in front of the tv.

Well you can but they aren't going to hear you  :D

We always lose on TV.

We've been alright lately.

Lincoln, Charlton x 3, Rovers.

I won't even mention Milwall...

Never happened as far as I'm concerned.

6 wins and 2 draws in the last 12 games on TV aint exactly always losing is it?

The only real bad period on live TV was between 1997 and 2004 when we lost 8, drew 2 and won only 1 game. Since then it hasnt been too bad really in comparison.

We only play on the tele....

was the chant at Charlton in January.

Any news on Le Fondre ? Hope he's gone before we play them.

I heard on Wednesday that Shitty had a bid of £400k accepted for ALF with Maynard going to Leicester City for £2mill.

Le fondre is off to reading apparently 500k

Some on the OTIB boards were saying Meynard was going to Leicester for £6M. I know he's good, but £6M....£2M sounds about right.

Leicester have a lot of money behind them all of a sudden though, I believe they paid £5m for Matt Mills from Reading.

Sniggers uncontrollably at the irony.

City paid more than £2m for him, no wonder they want £6m with some of the other deals that have gone on.

City paid £2.25 m for Maynard.

Only 500k? Weren't they turning down bids of a 1m+ last season and the season before?

Last year of his contract now.

In a related matter, I have just bought my ticket online, will I get an actual ticket or do I just use my season ticket?

Should be loaded onto your season ticket mate.

Just use your season ticket. They'll update your card.

Cheers.

Just back from hols, haven't had chance to catch up on top stories etc. How many tickets have been sold for Tuesday night, and has la Fondre left Rotherham yet ?  Good to be back but will now be up half the night catching up on gossip.

3000 and he has signed for Reading.

Need to take your laptop along mate....Jockanory told me.

Couldn't get on townend site using a blackberry for some reason, it's been agony !

Thanks for the update, Flash.

need to download opera on the old blackberry to access the TEF - for some reason.

Thanks DV, I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to IT etc. It was frustrating being able to get on other sites but not this one, I'll get the opera thing sorted by someone who understands it though.

My blackberry loads this ste fine using the default browser..

Bold 9700 running OS6 if that matters...
