You have just one more night left before tomorrow night’s Great Pie Night, so now’s the time to finalise your plans for tomorrow’s cooking. Remember, you need to present a pie to the Club by 6pm tomorrow night so that it can be judged at 7.30pm. You can make either a savoury or sweet pie and all we ask of you that it be presented in a shallow container so that it can be sliced and sold to the waiting gannets. All proceeds raised will go to St Peters & St James Hospice. And please remember, if you haven’t made a pie, we need pie eaters as well as pie makers to make the night work, so please come on down and join the fun.
In the meantime, we’re showing some great sport on our TVs this weekend, starting right now with Premiership action between West Ham and Leicester – we hope to see Andy Crawley watching between his fingers.
Tomorrow begins at 12.30pm, with Leeds visiting Barnsley in the first Championship game of the day. Then at 3pm we bring you international rugby, with England taking on Samoa, not quite the force they once were but still hard as nails. At 5.30pm we’ll be showing one of the games of the Premiership season, when Liverpool take on Chelsea. Matt Bolton and Jamie Mitchell, we can also show the Sheffield Utd-Birmingham game if either of you is in.
On Sunday we’ll be showing the Abu Dhabi Grands Prix at 1pm, and Southampton-Everton from 1.30pm. When the Grands Prix is over, we can then show the Saracens-Exeter Premiership game on one screen while on the other, at 4pm we’ll be showing Huddersfield against Man City. Rugger buggers be warned, you may have to ask to get it put on.
Our weekend doesn’t finish there, because on Monday you can watch the Club’s chair watching between his fingers, as his beloved QPR attempt to end their London derby/Sky match hoodoo – it won’t happen.
Finally, a few have asked about the Ashes. We do have BT Sport, but we don’t have a licence to serve after 11.30pm and, since the cricket doesn’t start until Midnight, we can’t show it. As for highlights, the England & Wales Cricket Board, in its infinite wisdom sold both the live and the highlight rights to BT. And BT shows how it values those highlights by showing them at 9am in the morning. So we’re sorry, but we can’t bring you the cricket.
