http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/artic ... 41064.aspxI know that this subject was mentioned some time ago but this article is confirmation of the deal.
Let's hope that it can be as good and hopefully better than what we've had to date.

An 80 minute BBC show is now going to be shown in a 90 minute C5 slot, so less will end up being shown due to adverts.

But at least it will be on at a sensible time and will also be on at "International Breaks" when due to a lack of Championship games the BBC deems there to be no reason to have a "Football League Show".

I'll be surprised if Channel 5 show a 90 minute highlight show only with league 1 and 2 teams at prime time on a Saturday night when it comes round to it, but we'll have to wait and see.
The BBC was far from perfect, but it was massively improved on the ITV version of the show it replaced.
Whatever channel it's on, League 2 are only ever going to be goals if anyone is thinking they're going to be showing longer highlights of Morecambe matches.

I will see how it transpires and judge it when seen.
I hope they have more knowledgible pundits than Claridge and Leroy Rosenior though.

Can't be any worse than the BBC's show. Let's hope they get a couple of decent pundits on who actually know their stuff about lower league clubs (Sammy mac??).
At least we'll not have to stay up until 1.20AM to see highlights of a 0-0 away at Yeovil!

That is the other side of the coin, though - we get back from Yeovil just in time to see the highlights on the BBC, whereas now we will have missed them by 3 hours!

If you set your Sky Plus you can watch them as soon as you get in

At 9 o'clock?
In the wisdom of the fixture panel it will probably be a Tuesday night now Cheltenham have gone

Hmmmm just started to watch, it's one of those plastic ones with an audience.
Prefer the change up to now, getting the audience involved

What a pile o cack. Why do they have to tamper with things? All we want is a hi-lights show. Spend less time walking round talking drivle, and more football could be shown. Also show it in order not flitting between the leagus. Bring back Manish and Steve.

Have to agree.
All we want is to see matches NOT listen to a load of former pros spouting off.
Utter crap.
I'm contacting Channel 5 to let them know what I think......

I must congratulate you on the fact that you have done what no other show has ever done
You seem to have united all football fans from every club in the country
We all think you are s***
Personally id rather go watch Swansea city play and sit wearing my Cardiff shirt singing anti Swansea songs than have to watch this again!!!
Series link deleted....terrible show, worst format ever...
Absolutely shocking. It was awkward, cheap & irrelevant in many places. Whom ever decided to try & Top Gear football at channel 5 got it hugely wrong. The league table cardboard 'reveal' in the program is hilarious (not in a good way). Most people have got smart phones in their pockets, why would a plank of wood work!? I'm at a loss as to why he studio audience were even there? What purpose did they serve? Please remember that this program is about Football, how much time was devoted to it?
The only positive is the time it's on which was better that the BBC late version. Everything else (& I mean everything) was massively off the mark. I, like many others will be watching the highlights on other formats like YouTube or Sky. I would recommend others do the same.
Gutted for the fans who can't go to games & have to sit through this slow motion car crash

Managed to catch all 30 secs of Morecambe. It was sandwiched in between some rabbit in the headlights pundits who looked like they had been dragged off the street and forced at gunpoint to talk football.
At least it is at a watchable time. I guess things can only get better?
Did it not run in a logical format (e.g Championship to L2)?

I think the mixing the leagues bit was to keep the larger Championship fan base watching until the end, which *might* work if done well. The rest of it was dreadful...
A typical 'segway' went something like this... Female presenter to the half a dozen League Two 'fans'...
"There are three ex-England internationals managing League Two clubs, who are they?"
"Yes, Teddy Sheringham"
"Another?"
"Anyone?"
"Manages Newport County?"
"Yes Terry Butcher, the third?"
"If I tell you he manages Carlisle United, does that help?"
"No?"
"Anyone?"
"He didn't play many games for England".
"Carlisle manager?"
"No?"
AGGGGHHHH Painful.

It was all over the place! The League tables were so cheap. They must have used their budget on overpaying BBC radio presenters! Least we only got 20 seconds of our misery!

It was very poor.
I didn't like the Top Gear style audience.
As for Martin Allen... Mind numbing.

What a dire show. Even my young son who usually does anything to stay up a bit later announced he was off to bed well before the end. Just so banal.
Also with the Morecambe highlights, they mention in the commentary Hartlepool by name but not us. Not sure whether other teams got similar treatment, I wasn't going to sit through it all again to find out.
I know some folk bashed the BBC format but at least you could skip through it and know where to stop to watch the bits you wanted. A good portion of C5s show is (as you'd expect) ads.

I couldn't fault the BBC's efforts with their FL Show to be honest. I liked it. Only complaint would be when they didn't have a programme showing L1 and L2 when the Championship wasn't in action.
As for the C5 version though, I can't see me sitting in my kitchen again for another hour and a half watching that...!
Painful !!!!!
