    I know this doesnt apply to us at the moment but it 'may' do if we win promotion!

    The BBC have confirmed that from the beginning of next season, they will no longer be showing 'The Football League Show'.

    Channel 5 will be the new place to show highlights which will also be at an earlier time slot of 9pm.

    It's a pity there isn't a programme featuring goals from the Conference...

    It goes to show the BBC in it's true light - they don't really give a monkey's about lower level football.
    They talk about the "tradition of the FA Cup", yet with complete hypocrisy move games to a Sunday, not for live coverage (which I get) but for a Football Focus programme.
    Maybe being on Channel 5 at an earlier time may turn out to be a good thing?

    Throughout its time on the BBC the Football League Show has gone out at a ridiculous time, but this season it has made some progress by repeating it on Sunday mornings.

    I fear Channel 5 would ruin it like ITV did when they had the Championship, because back then they only showed Leagues One and Two begrudgingly. So from next season onwards I'll probably be watching the FL72 review on Sky, which offers good analysis despite a slightly muddled running order and short highlights packages.
