Friday Night Footy

[bucks_for_brownlow]

OK, you Melbourne folk probably don't care since you get your footy at 8.30 like you should every week of the season. But for us eastern seaboard followers we are expected to sit up until 11.30 or 12 to watch the telecast.

The ones that are privelidged to have Foxtel and Fox Footy (I mean no of course not authorites i don't have Fox Footy...) get to watch the game at 9.30, which is ludicrous it should be on at 8.30 no competition to worry about should be LIVE even.

But last night i was flicking around, waiting, when on Main Event (46) at 8.30, as if i was in Melbourne watching Channel 9, the footy came on! Can somebody please explain why Main Event show footy games. Do they show NRL alternatively in Melbourne? Anyway its a superb idea i just hope it wasnt a one off. Any ideas thanks.
