I received today an e-mail from the club plugging this match, I dare say a lot of you have also received the same one.
God I loath these pathetic attempts at marketing. So they get a kick back from ESPN's presumably, central deal, with the League but how on earth is it in the interest of Sheffield United to send me an e-mail plugging the TV coverage of the Villa v Chelsea game this weekend?
The E-mail states the fact that their coverage starts at 4.45pm on Saturday. er, wouldn't you actually prefer me to be in BDTBL at that point or do you really not care that I bother to travel 100 miles to come and attempt to support my team?
Perhaps the marketing genius behind this e-mail would be happier if I allocated my leisure money spend on a subscription to ESPN and abandoned actually supporting the Blades. It really makes me wonder sometimes.
