all three of us are of the same opinion , the way they were treated by the league was disgusting and if they were to just go under in their old guise then so be it . At least their league place would've been given to an extra conference side that actually deserved it not to those dirty franchise scum from MK
got a lot of time for them saw a lot of games as a kid,as i lived next door to dickie's brother also saw a lot of maidstone games when he was transferred to them.
[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]heard there was a very serious punch-up in the bar at half time between AFC and Chelsea supporting locals. Number of arrests.
Not surprised. Bin throwing thugs the lot of them : - )
[cite]Posted By: Rothko[/cite]and the game against Wycombe is going to be shown live on Monday 10th November on Setanta
I'm sure the 20 people watching it on Setanta will have a great laugh!
Joke channel.
Sour grapes me thinks.
Get it free and they are obviously cranking up their sports coverage. More and more big name boxing, Prem and England games and now the FA Cup.
Better get used to them being around. Their version of SSN is very poor compared to Sky but it can only get better.
True, Setanta sports news is repeated on a loop about every 10-15 minutes, SKY is only every 40 minutes or so by my reckoning, althought the setanta real radio phone in live camera feed from the studio is excellent.

AFC fan landed himself a black eye, an Arsenal fan did it apparently a load of the lads from work went. One chance one goal but the scrap was mean to be worse than handbags not as bad as it could of been though.
Saying that I wasn't there so only third hand info that
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]I did try Setanta for 3 months - albeit 6/7 months ago but I just didnt get on with it. Maybe its changed but hey ho.
The whole no England highlights really wound me up as well but thats by the by.
I'm all for competition to Sky.
WSS - not sure what your problem with Setanta is. You say you're all for competition to sky but the first real competition that's come along, you seem to hate.
As Henry says they now have some prem games, England games, FA Cup, as well as live games from Germany, Holland and France. Saw a great game Marseille v PSG on there last night. As well as that they've got some major boxing fights plus they have all the UFC stuff. IMO it's well worth the 12.99 each month (less than 50p a day).
And regarding the highlights issue, they were prepared to give highlights out but for the right price. They were hardly going to sell highlights off cheaply as that would impact on people taking up subscriptions and to be fair they did sort out highlights for the Belarus game. It should also be noted that BBC could've easily paid for live rights but chose to pay up to 50m for Formula One as of next year. And i'm sure they could've afforded some highlights if they hadn't paid Jonathan Ross 18m over 3 years!!
I don't hate them! Just didnt enjoy the 3 months I was with them thats all.
personally, I can't justify another £12.99 on top of my Sky at the moment anyway but thats up to me.
Good luck to them - they'll succeed if they manage to wrestle a couple of the big games off of Sky like Liverpool vs. Man U, Chelsea vs. Arsenal etc but while they keep showing Stoke vs. West Brom or Blackburn vs. Man City then I fear it will just not work. Be very happy to be proved wrong though.

Bring The Stones home!
Excellent news

Their fans didn't actually want to draw MK Dons - as they might have found it difficult to resist battering them ;-)

Anyway - well done Wimbledon. ;-)
