Smithy called it right, they were always going to sign but were just holding off hoping for a bargain. So now they get one whole day to promote it before the season starts.
Still, I'm pleased they have it.
Based on what?
Based on the fact that they had all the games pencilled in in the onscreen guide by last weekend and that the Phoenix were telling people they had it and piney was commentating.
and how exactly does that point to what your saying?
How exactly does it NOT point to what I was saying? You don't pencil games in if you don't think you will sign the rights.
So your assuming that since they had slots pencilled in that they were holding off for a bargain - why? What's the evidence to support that?
