I see you wrote aren't as interested so, yes, there is still something there. Budgets probably. Getting anyone decent in will cost a lot. Simon Hill's biography talked about the cracks and changes of direction at SBS with football. I don't recall the exact circumstances but it was something like a fading, some infighting, change of direction. Hill got an agent and his value at that time was massive which Fox duly paid for.
Traditional media in general is nothing like it used to be in terms of revenue generation. The lack of football media of just a small symptom of this. Despite the failure, this was the rationale behind attempting to set up the aleagues own media. If you wanted coverage you had to build it yourself.
would love a press pass haha, genuinely interested in the answer
Well keep up went down hill quick, need something like the TWG like in the old days of sbs.
My prediction. Zero mention of anything a league or anything they don't hold rights to for cross promotion. This isn't a code war thing, each of these things are viewed as their own product they are selling.
There will be a media manager for the FA. I'd say find out who that is and email them.
Yep exactly. It's really interesting to hear what's on their telepromoter with such channels. Totally split. German sky never dared mention the matches in the league on dazn that weekend. Total blackout.
The Queensland Government and Tourism and Events Queensland were in talks with Football Australia about hosting a Socceroos friendly match in the November FIFA window - Cameron Atfield (Brisbane Times)
Playing someone to give them a send-off is a wasteful exercise when you are trying to build into a world cup or any other major tournament. Those players playing must be those who are being looked at and developing combinations with a view to the world cup. If you want to give someone a send-off, parade them around the ground pre-game.
That would also be a good option.
No send off please
