Bit of a boring weekend without Lions to watch


Just looked at the TV guide. This week, Channel 10 in Qld are going to show Friday night's game at 10:50 and Saturday night's game at 9:30. Again, it's obvious they don't want to take on Rugby League finals which are all going to be live this year.
Queenslande television execs think most people prefer Everyone loves Raymond to St Kilda or Swans,could be on to something there,but seriously every game should be live
they can put Everyone loves **************** back to back after the Gfinal for all i care
cheers

Rabbitz, I wouldn't mind so much if it was a new program or some other important event that they were putting on instead of the Football. But it never is. It's always some repeat or a program with no importance at all. On Friday night, they're showing Raymond, Raymond and Oprah, and on Saturday it's an old Arnie Movie that's been on many times before.

Sportz
I think the reason is that after channel 9 & 10 took over from channel 7,they decided to share the games,so theyve thought if we put both on at the same time people who like both would be annoyed so QLD,being a bit more of a rugby league state thought league was more important(even though everyone knows that the AFL team of the millenium comes from brisbane)
It probably wont change so here is a
solution. Tape the Friday game dont,t leave the house read a newspaper,listen to the radio ,talk to your friends at all on Saturday,then about 5:30 satdee night play the tape with a few coldies then tape the rugby league double feature over the top
then watch the satdee night AFL,and then stay home etc on Sunday then play the rugby league sundee night>
Easy when you think about it
Cheers

I play golf in shorts all year round
In melbourne you would need to be indoors by the heater putting on the carpet to manage that
thanks but no

Rabbitz, it doesn't matter which commercial channel has the AFL rights in Qld. They simply won't put it up against a Rugby League game unless the Lions are playing. Channel 7 used to show night games at 11:30, so nothing much has changed. Believe me, if commercial channels thought it would rate, they WOULD put it on in prime time.

Channel 10 has now moved Friday night's game to 9:40, the same as Saturday. Wow, what's the difference? You still have to stay up till after midnight to watch the whole thing. No thanks! Anyway, I really don't want to watch games that aren't live.

Rabbitz!

You haven't lived until you have sat by the fire in the lounge room on a cold winters night.
Somehow,sitting round the air-conditioner just ain't the same.
