Look down the back of the Sofa your find your Rights setana:D

I thought Sky were not allowed to bid. Maybe we will see some Tie up possibly ITV and BBC . Possibly Channel four or Five if they found a big blue chip sponsor.?

At least RUK will go it alone if Setanta sink with no loss in raving coverage. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
