Is there any way Town could show this in the bars at BP I’m sure they would be full.

We've asked the question Civvy. Apparently it has to be agreed to by Lincoln (because we are using their feed) and the EFL. As it isn't a 3 p.m. kick off this MIGHT go in our favour.

More to the point, why on earth would SKY pass on the opportunity to have this game on live? I'll be honest, their 'coverage' of the EFL is non-existent. I can't remember a League 2 game being shown in our 3 years back up here other than when it's the playoffs. Lincoln at the top of the division, early KO, and against one of their rivals; ticks all the boxes for a live game, surely? Basically they're saying that League 2 isn't worth showing.
I reckon they need to pull their socks up. No League 2 games, no FA Cup, only about 1/2 the England games, no Champions League - barely worth the over-priced subscription nowadays.

Well that should be agreed fairly easily as they’ve had beambacks from BP recently haven’t they? <insert “that’s where their fans must have been” comment here>

Nice one Barra. As the game is already a sell out for both sides I can’t see why Lincoln would object. And surely if both clubs agree the EFL shouldn’t have a problem.

Whoever negotiates the TV deals on behalf of the EFL is doing a terrible job. When the National League, seemingly run by a load of cranks in a shed, can get BT Sport to regularly broadcast live fixtures, why can't we expect the same when we're playing in a higher division? Yeah sure it may well be that Sky want to put Leeds on TV 10 times a season because they get good viewing figures, but the EFL should be demanding FAR more League One and League Two games are also shown alongside the endless Championship games Sky currently broadcast.

Oldham and Newport have shown this last weekend that League 2 clubs are worth watching. If SKY can't see that, then that's a big problem for me. I don't ever want us to return to the conference again, but our coverage down there was pretty damned good. At the very least, it was better than NOTHING!
