New TV Contracts Soon For Division One?

By: Bill Osborne
Date: 07/06/2002

TOWN Chairman Peter Furneaux is confident there will be television coverage of the First Division when the season kicks off in August with two new bidders on the scene.

"I'm sure that someone will be showing First Division football next season and as I understand it, there are a couple of bidders. Apart from that, I don't really know anything else."

"As for the money side of it, well, I guess we will get something out of a new contract, but just what I am hoping to find out this weekend."

Mr Furneaux is attending the Football League's AGM, which will be taking place this weekend where he will hear about the latest developments regarding the TV contracts.
