Charlton and Hartlepool - TV Appeal !

I see the addicks are on Sky v Leyton Orient on 25th Jan. That is now 4 times they have been live on TV (albeit once on ITV). So a team that is 7 places above us in the league, get all this exposure !
Why ???

cos they're a big club, and shouldn't be in this league, and have a big ground, and have huge support, and allow us to play against them ( as long as we perform like we do against other massive clubs) and CT bigs them up, and and and and.............

Let's admit it, we like having cult status.

TV always go for the so called bigger clubs. Look at the way they bum Leeds & Newcastle.

dont think you could call newcastle a " so called " big club. like or loathe them at the moment they are a big club.

they had over 49,000 there for a league game recently. how many other clubs in england have bettered that this season ?

errr man united, err arsenal.....errr

Can't argue with that. They are also possibly the most tedious side I've seen this season. Very efficient, but god they're dull to watch.

Agree with that, i watch the football league show every week and they are bloody dull.

Forest are great to watch at the moment, you almost dont want them to go up, as you know they'll more than likely struggle, at the moment they are playing exciting football, next year they will be average.

Bit like wolves n burnley last year

newcastle have a superb defence. every one of the back four could play in the premiership, and the left back is a class above.

They did, last season. Albeit not very successfully. The likes of Colloccini and Enrique seem to have found their level in the Championship, I'm not convinced that they won't struggle again in the Premiershit next season if Newcastle get promoted.

Agree, we have a small and very exclusive clientele. Like people who shop at Harrods. We aint like Man U supporters ten-a-penny.
Every other clubs supporters wish they were Hartlepool United fans, just to have it on their C.V.

I CAN GUESS, but 4 times !!!???
I watched them against Northwich & Southampton, they were dire each time.
Apart from having 17000 at a home game, instead of our (current) 2700, i can't see the attraction !
(p.s. my boss is a Charlton fan, that's why i'm bugged by their tv appeal)
