Not got a ticket for Albion’s last game? Fear not because we’ll be showing the whole game in the Club on Sunday afternoon at 3pm. But make sure you give yourself plenty of time to to find a seat because we’ll be splitting the screens to the other big game that will be on at that time, with Brighton-Man City on the screen closest to the cricket club and the Liverpool-Wolves game on the one backing onto the Club entrance.
There is some other sport on, of course. Today we start at opening time with cricket, an England-Pakistan one-dayer, and we’ll be able to keep tabs on that for most of the day. At 12.30pm, one set of screens goes on to the Villa-West Brom Championship play-off match. At 5pm we potentially have a clash if the cricket is still going because there are potentially three big events overlapping, so we’ll have to choose two. The rugby version of the Champions League Cup, Leinster-Saracens, will kick off on BT at 5pm and we will be trying to show that as long as the cricket hasn’t got to an exciting finish. If the cricket’s still on and people are watching, we’re afraid rugger buggers will have to wait because we’ll definitely be showing the Derby-Leeds Championship play-off match when that starts at 5.15pm. At 7.30pm we have Sunderland-Pompey in their League 1 play off, while we can also show the Byron Nelson golf which runs to Sunday night.
Tomorrow we start at 12.15 with the Doncaster-Charlton League 1 play off and that will be followed at 3pm by the Premiership final day. We’re sorry Formula 1 fans but we can only show the start of the Spanish Grands Prix at 2.10pm, because of the football coming on at 3pm, but at least if you’ve seen the first lap you’l know who won. At 6pm we’ll be showing Mansfield-Newport in their League 2 play off. Through all of that we can also show the British Masters golf when the other stuff isn’t on, while we’ll finish off with the Byron Nelson trough the evening.
Next week we’l have more football league play off games, with West Brom-Villa playing on Tuesday and Leeds-Derby on Wednesday. We’ll also have one day internationals on Tuesday and Friday and we’ll be showing the US PGA golf from Thursday and that lot will warm us up nicely for the Cup Final next weekend, when we’ll be running the barbie hopefully.
