Short story - £4.99 to watch england play a qualifier they don't even need to win on Saturday, £9.99 if you dont pay before Wednesday and £11.99 if you pay after Friday.

What a rip off, and you can only watch online. rolfl

Why have Pools moved the game to a Friday night if its a half 5 kick off anyway?

I won't be paying it and I hope no-one else does.

Makes an absolute mockery of playing the game on Friday Night ( i thought the England game iwas on normal TV and that why they swapped the pools kick off time)...

Can't see anyone shelling out for this.. Hope they lose out big time

£5 to watch a pointless match on a computer screen... Its a fookin outrage.. I

'm more annoyed about Pools if they'd played on Saturday i'd been able to get to the match...

Swap it back to Saturday Uncle Ken you know it makes sense...

The England game was going to be on Setanta. Nobody else has bought the rights cos we've already qualified, if we hadn't then I'm sure it would've been on telly somewhere, so a bit harsh to have a go at Pools over this.

Pools had no idea setanta would crash and burn and that england would have already qualified.

Bit harsh to have a go at them over this.

So because Setanta went bust has the kick off time changed?

Dunno.

But if we were away we might have appreciated an altered kick off / date so maybe the Brentford fans have been taken into consideration?

If setanta hadn't went bust it would have been on there, if we hadnt have qualified the nation would be watching it.

Pools can't forcast such things surely?

I still dont know why pools are playing friday night when its a 5:15pm kick off.

As pointed out above, maybe its at Brentfords request?

I seem to remember the club saying no more Friday night games so can only presume its for their benefit.

Surely they couldn't have known it was a 5.15 KO when they made the fixture change? I'm sure the club would rather have kept it as a 3pm kick off as we'd get a bigger crowd. Who knows....

How would moving it to a Friday night benefit Brentford? Surely it'd just make it even harder to attend the game?

and if they did request it we should have just told them to fck off IMO.

Maybe Uncle Ken is going to the England match?

He might have signed up online to the £4.99 offer and wants to get prepared properly before the game, get a few things in the asda first, couple of cans, do a bit of housework, chill out with the mrs before the game.

He probably hasn't been since Shearer hung up his boots.

Not sure if it's free on the above website but anyone with Sopcast should have no problems watching it free on the net anyway.
