Not confirmed, but it looks like Speedy might be calling the football at the Olympics. He was listed on Channel 7’s Olympic commentary team.

****, he is harder to get rid of than an STD.

You speaking with experience here dude?

I really hope no-one from that list except Bozza ends up at Paramount. And Bozza shouldn't be one of the commentary team.

[WHACKO]

I'd be happy if Daniel Garb was involved somewhere. 

[Wanderboy]

Adam Peacock and Simon Hill are must hires for Paramount/10, as is Bosnich.

Let's hope!

Quote

Robbie Slater, Andy Harper and Archie Thompson are all finishing up at Fox

[Hughesy]

Peacock is staying at Fox I’m assuming. He’s been doing interviews for the Ashes which I doubt would be the case if he were leaving as they won’t be shown til November at the earliest

My first reaction.

If they stayed at fox there'd be no chance of them finding their way to Paramount.

[Sithslayer1991]

I am not sure if Peacock would go to Paramount unless he does something like Speedy is with Olympics and Mel with Optus and Channel 7. Guess depends on how much work he has.

But yes out of that group would love Bozza but I have sneaky feeling Harper may make it on to Paramount +.

Again I put it out there for Daniel Georgevski to get on it or have some capacity around it.

If all three of them end up there, I will not definitely not buy it.  Maybe even with two, especially if its Harper and Slater, or Archie as a commentator god help us. Genuinely.

^^^^Pfffft! 

Just turn the commentary off then, seriously!

[marron]

That was my initial thought too, but why should I support this brand spanking new venture if they have no imagination and aren't willing to make it their own? Football =/= Fox.

I was looking forward to being able to listen to all the games again too.

To be honest I could hack most of the Fox team in small doses but the measure of the new venture will be if it's "Speedie-less"

A few other clubs replied the same day or the day after and we still have no reply from what I can see. WTF! Pull your finger out WSW, what you can't get deals like this for us and scout for players at the same time. *I'm looking at you JT* As I bet he is the kind of CEO that wants to have his hands on everything and needs to sign off on everything as well, just let your managers/team leaders do their job and whats best for the club and members.

[Nathg]

Anyone know if you have the ability to split the service; like with Kayo, Netflix etc. Ideally I would split it with a few mates, just like we already have with Kayo. Disappointing if you can’t.

It'll be in the membership add-ons section of the website.

[DCWSW]

A-League, W-League, FFA Cup and AFC Champions League content is set to expire at COB tomorrow (July 30) on Foxtel and Kayo. 

If anyone wants to watch the Fox produced doco on our ACL win, I recommend getting it in before then: https://kayosports.com.au/shows/show-wanderers-the-asian-champions!14153/season-2014!14156

Parramatta stadium will be around 10% of capacity until we are no longer crap at football

[DCWSW]

The first FFA Cup game (currently scheduled for 11 August next Wednesday) will be on 10Play.

Just some background information the 11th August is when Paramount Plus drops as well. However I haven't been able to locate IF multiple screens would be available similar to Disney+. Can anyone confirm?
