I assume they will be showing the other 2nd leg instead! You would have thought they would think that because of the attendances last night there would be more people watching (coventry fans who couldn't get tickets).
I must say, there have been threads about anti Cov media, tv & radio on this site before. I've never really bought into it...but I find myself thinking......
If I am the decision maker - I would want to make sure I get the maximum number of viewers, especially if advertisers are in the mix with commercial stations. Thats why the channels have systematically destroyed the magic of the FA Cup - only Man U, Man C, Spurs etc (the big clubs) fixtures are shown 9 in 10 times, rather than much more intriguing Port Vale v Nuneaton type fixtures.
So have Southend & Orient got a bigger fan-base than Cov & Crewe combined??? Is that fixture a bigger draw for the neutral?
Looking forward to going. Nothing is decided, and there is the added excitement that if we win, it would be one of the best comebacks in this cup's history.
Sky will rue the decision if we come back into the tie.
