ace Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Very surprised that we are not on an interactive channel somewhere or even ITV4! Would have thought someone at the Rovers would have organised a"beam-back" to the ground! Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsall Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Nothing to do with Rovers its the home club who sell the tele rights and they have sold them to austrian/german tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tris Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) the club should take a bit of the blame. there are enough sky channels and several PPV ones. millwall got their uefa game screened by bravo! we only have 700 tickets for the game. it's down to poor marketing,......... again It has nothing to do with poor marketing - or indeed Rovers - they take no blame whatsoever. They have no say over the rights for the away leg, so it's entirely up to domestic broadcasters themselves to judge whether they want to spend money on the rights. And (for the nth time) once Channel 5 and ITV4 had cherry picked Spurs / Newcastle / West Ham our game was never going to be on. Its ruddy typical isn't it!....they decide to show our home game live with the well known attendance problems we have at present.Ham shankers. Oh how the pubs of Blackburn will do a real trade that night while Ewood is 3/4 empty!!!!!!! To be fair, in terms of maximising revenue Rovers have done exactly the right thing. It's already clear that Rovers are not an attractive proposition to TV companies, even less so should this tie be a dead duck after the 1st leg. As this game is free for ST holders, the walk-on crowd was never going to generate much cash at 15 quid a head - TV or no TV coverage. I have no idea what Rovers will get from the TV rights - wild guess somewhere between £50 grand and £150 grand. So between 3500 and 10000 paying adults. There is no way in the world that having the game on TV will cause a swing in walk-on punters of anything approaching 3500 - or even 1000 come to that. So the Rovers may as well bank whatever TV cash they can now. Edited September 13, 2006 by Tris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Tris there are to many people trying to blame the Rovers re tele rights when they dont know what they are talking about..............
