this is gonna be awesome as the guy who got it DPL is a hammers fan and the same one who got the play-off final last season, can't wait and thankyou!!!
Here's the details:
1. I have teamed up with Setanta Sport Australia and we have the exclusive rights to the English 1st Division [Coca-Cola Championship - CCC] for 2004-05;
2. We will launch the CCC on this Saturday night 7th August in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth;
3. The broadcast game will be either:
LEICESTER v WHU, kick-off LIVE midnight AEST; or
LEEDS v DERBY, delayed broadcast from 11.30pm AEST
The LEICESTER v WHU game is not being shown live in the UK and there are some rights issues that will finally be settled tonight. If it is available it will be the broadcast game.
4. Setanta Sport has also signed an exclusive 4 year contract with the Scottish Premier League (SPL) to broadcast live SPL football games world-wide. ABERDEEN v RANGERS will screen live at the Sydney and Brisbane venues from 9.30pm AEST and in Perth from 7.30pm AWST.
5. Venues will be as follows:
SYDNEY: Metro Theatre, 624 George Street Sydney 2000 Tel: (02) 9287 2000
MELBOURNE: Turf Bar, Queen St, Melbourne (03) 9670 1271, Website: www.turfaccountants.com.au
BRISBANE: The Pig 'N' Whistle (Riverside), Eagle St, Brisbane (07) 3832 9099,
Website: www.pignwhistle.com.au
PERTH: The Civic Hotel, Inglewood, Perth (08) 9272 1011
ADELAIDE: TBA
All tickets will be available at the venues from Friday. Cost $25. For updates see the Setanta web site at: http://www.setanta.com.au.
6. If we do NOT get the LEICESTER v WHU game for Saturday night then we will broadcast LIVE the WHU v READING - Kick Off 5am Wednesday 11th August AEST. Due to the very early start this broadcast will be restricted to Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane as it will be uneconomic to include Adelaide & Perth at that time. Venues to be confirmed.
7. The Australian broadcast schedule for the CCC for August/September will be on the Setanta web site: http://www.setanta.com.au from later today. As we secure rights to more games we will add these to our broadcast list. We already have Notingham Forest v WHU September 26 LIVE at 10pm AEST.
So sorry for the delay but obtaining these rights has been hard work!
Please circulate this to all WHU fans so that we maximise the number of people we reach. Time is so short due to the delays in securing the rights.
Email me with any questions.
