Collingwood isn't the only 'blue chip' club so I doubt that Foxtel insisted that it had to be the Pies in a particular spot, that would be the AFL's doing. |
Crap, Foxtel (IMO) we're given assurances they would receive a certain amount of exclusive Collingwood games, remember Victoria had a low PTV subscription rate prior to the latest broadcast deal compared to NSW-QLD, Foxtel knew it was going to get minimal subscriptions in SA-WA due to their home teams being live on FTA week in-week out, fact is we got £$%$ed, big time.
| Quote: | A FRIDAY night Collingwood-Hawthorn blockbuster looms as the likely opener to the final round of the home and away season.
Club bosses and the MCG are yet to be informed, but its understood final discussions are underway between the broadcasters Channel 7, Foxtel and the AFL as to the make up of round 23.
A Pies-Hawks showdown is most likely for a number of reasons, including giving teams higher on the ladder a longer break heading into the finals.
Collingwood has five weeks straight of games on pay television, meaning Channel 7 is expected to be keen to get the AFL's biggest club back on its screens before the home and away season is out.

Thanks for the link but how does that quote support anything about the conspiracy you're claiming? The scheduling is negotiated between Channel 7, Foxtel and the AFL. That's not news, we all knew that.
Are you suggesting that Foxtel said 'We're having all these exclusive Pies games' and Channel 7 and the AFL just cowered and nodded meekly?
I mean, really? |
What I'm saying is - Foxtel were guaranteed a certain amount of exclusive Collingwood games during the broadcast negotiations, Vlad was very happy to crow about the record rights deal, what he forgot to tell us is Collingwood fans would be hit the hardest.
