To all Collingwood fans bombard channel 9 and talkback radio

This game HAS to be shown live!
Make sure you ring channel 9 and demand it be put on live tomorrow night!!!!
Take frasier off and put Burke's Backyard at 7-8 if it's that important to 9!
Make sure you ring 3aw and voice that collingwood and football fans are teed off!!!!
A few facts from the last time The Pies played the power on 9's Friday night football.
It was the highest rating home and away game of the season averaging 725,00 in melbourne and peaking at 900,000!!!!!!
I hope you all bombard 9 and 3aw etc tomorrow morning like I will.
This game must be shown live!!!!!!!!
Let them know what the people of melbourne want!

It should be LIVE around Australia (except maybe Adelaide-unless a sellout) be it on 9 or Foxtel. Why should people like me who pay 80 bucks a month for Foxtel have to wait till 9.30pm if free to air aint showing it. Instead we have to put up with Bourkes Backyard or whatever other crap and that wugby friggin league.

Collingwood Rules Throughout Australia.

That's bloody disgraceful. Channel 9, have a think, which program would rate better? The AFL. Fools.

The game starts at 7:40 Adelaide time 8:10 Melbourne time Burke's backyard will still be on.
It's not too late to change this , I'm planning on using my voice to channel 9 today with a irrefutable few facts.

absolute discrace if they dont put in on live.

If we cannot get to the match surely we should be able to see it live. They have to get their priorities straight.

I can't wait to see how many people are going to get to the game late because of all this confusion...!!

Well i rang up channel 9 and got a bit of a tool in programming. Obviously Eddie didn't sit in on the interview when this guy was hired.

He didnt know whether the game was live or delayed. So i said go and find out for me please. After what seemed an eternity he returned saying it was on 30 min delay.

So i go why is it on delay?? He goes because Frasier and Burkes Backyard were on. I then told him this wasnt good enough and that i was disappointed. I then asked if we could move the broadcast and make it live but he said no. I then repeated my disappointment.

I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO RING UP AN COMPLAIN. CHANNEL 9 I THOUGHT WAS MEANT TO BE COMMITED TO AUSSIE RULES ?? WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!

Footy Show Slogan - "Its more than a game"

Obviously it isnt as a repeat of Frasier and Burkes Backyard are more important.
