Yes i would watch Channel 5 for the hockey - but please dont let J Pearce do the commentary (Ive watched football on Channel 5 and whilst some people describe him as being enthusiatic he gets on my nerves )
From what I understand clubs currently pay Sky for the Live TV coverage - £7000 per game according to the Bracknell Chief Exec. If they are going to continue to pay for the coverage then they must reach a larger audience than Sky Sports 2/3
If Sky and C5 are going to fight over the sport why not get them to put full hockey gear on and fight it out on the ice?
BTW I tune into C 5 on the Satellite as my terrestial signal is not so good.
