Keeping up with the club's traditions of living in the past and failing at anything to do with marketing and promotion, the Liverpool FC satellite channel falls into place as a complete failure this evening.
Apparently Liverpool fans don't exist on New Year's Eve. 'LFC TV is currently off air and will return at 12.00' is the caption I'm greeted with as I flick around the channels this evening. I didn't fancy 'Last Of The Summer Wine' or 'Coronation Street' so I thought I'd see if I could watch my beloved Reds. Clearly not.
If I wanted to watch MUTV, Chelsea TV, Arsenal TV, Celtic TV, Rangers TV or Real Madrid TV, then I'd be alright, all of their fans have been catered for. Only Liverpool's channel is off-air.
We may have a decent online presence with the club's website but the satellite channel is pants. We demanded it for ages and there is some good stuff on there but for me, only the reserves coverage is of interest. Hopefully in time it will get better.
Anyway, thanks to the lazy sods at the club I managed to watch a decent feature about Jerzy Dudek on Real Madrid TV. It's on again at 9.55pm and 10.55pm (Sky 446).
I hope Stevie G is staying in tonight. Hopefully he'll find something decent to watch on the box.
