Division One Playoffs

    Hi all -

    I am a die-hard Norwich city fan...for my troubles.

    I know the game is on ITV Sport channel, but am wondering if anybody knows who else will be showing the game. I have a sky digibox and my old analogue system, so I don't mind moving the dish around if the game is FTA somewhere.

    I am sure somebody can help me. Failing that - do you know any good ITV digital pubs north of Tullamore..I am getting desperate.

    Thanks guys!!

    I used to watch the Nationwide league matches on Sky Digital and enjoyed them. I have previously contacted local cable operators and Sky about getting this channel, but as you well know they obviously don't want customers.NTL/Chorus should have jumped straight in and negotiated to show ITV Digital here on their package. Basically NTL,Chorus and ITV Digital are non visionary people thus they will all go belly up unless they provide what the punters want. I would have gladly paid €5 per month for their channel .
    I reckon you'll just have to watch the playoffs on Aertel!! Sorry...

    no such luck HappyDude.

    I have a very f**ked up, i get all the ITV channels but not even any of them will be broadcasting it. They occasionally broadcast a sunday 1st division game but none of the playoffs.
    Hopefully with ITV Digital going belly up they will give the broadcast rights to BBC or Sky.

    PS I'm a Wolves so congratulations HappyDude you must be one happy dude :D
    Maybe you'll be in the premiership next year and you get to watch your team as much as you like.
    I'll have to be tuning into the internet radio broadcasts to keep up with Wolves in the 1st again next year
    :(

    nice to see that not all people in Ireland support Liverpool, Man U or Celtic even if it is only Norwich :D

    In regard to the play-offs, the situation is this. ITV digital are obligated to show them on their sports channel, which you cannot get on SKY - so it has become a FTA channel. Therefore, people with an ITV digital box, even if they don't subscribe to channel, can watch it for free. This was great from my point of view. I'm a footie fan (Sheffield United, for my sins) though didn't subscribe to the sports channels, but having an ITV digital box (I switched to sky last week and ITV digital are supposed to be collecting my box later this month - hope they don't now they've gone out of business!) I was able to watch the matches. Just wanna add that I'm so glad that Millwall didn't win - their supporters are a disgrace.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Didn't want to run the risk of missing the final, like I did the game against Wolves. Solution - go to Cardiff!!

    Glad we are not playing Milwall...
    Come on the Canaries!
