Sky confirm Exeter match to be televised

Sky Sports have confirmed that the match between Exeter and Hereford United will be televised.

As previously reported the date has been changed from Dec 31 to Dec 30 and the game will now start at 7,45pm.

Exeter will receive £5,000 and Hereford United £2,000 from Sky for the coverage. However there are fears that the attendance, especially of Bulls fans, will be reduced because of the televising of the game and the change to Friday evening.

The Exeter vice-chairman has commented to the Exeter Express and Echo about the Sky deal.

"We hope we don't lose money from the game. We were concerned about the police costs, but with less away fans expected, those will be reduced. This will also give the players more recovery time."
