Footy Nut!
 
My hubby is sport mad! :scared: It drives me crazy. We have sky tv and given half a chance he would watch the sports channels 24/7.

Is there much sport on tv in Perth? Would he be able to keep up to date with english football and rugby?

Sky in UK = Foxtel in Oz (Rupert Murdoch owns both); I'm sure he would be able to keep up with the soccer and rugby via a subscription to Foxtel. SBS has some 'foreign sport' but you wouldn't get much English sport on TV stations - other than Australia making it 9 in a row in the Ashes! :D

I see you are in Scunny. That was some fantastic match last night between Chelsea and Barcelona. They mentioned that the last player to score at Stamford Bridge, before Ronaldinho, was a Scunny player in the Cup!

Hubby can check out http://www.foxtel.com.au to see the options.

Paul Hayes in the F.A. Cup put them up 1-0 up as well.


The UK Midday kick off games aren't so bad because they are on at a decent hour, that said all the live games are re-run the following day.

They're going to live in Perth, so all the games will be on at great hours on a Saturday. Hubby will be able to watch the triple header on Saturday live from 7pm once the clocks change.
