The 'Geordie Nation' better start getting used to them 5.30 kick offs because there bound to be getting the lions share of the coverage.
Personally, i think its great that the Championship is on terrestrial/freeview. Its by far a more competitive league than the premier league. Its difficult to pick who's going to be in the mix next year, i think Boro will be up there with the usual suspects like Sheffied United and Preston. Think that Newcastle will struggle. Blackpool will be an interesting one with Hollaway and i hope they can suprise a few.

Yeh it is good its finally come back to being on terrestrial, though more likely down to the Setanta problems and they got them at a bargain price. However, I always watch the Championship at the weekends, just to see how teams are doing and keep an eye out for any players coming through the lower leagues.
