The Lions Saturday Night home games were definitely on delay in Brisbane for at least the beginning of that 9/10/fox deal. We were able to get home from the match and catch the last minute or two and the post match stuff on 10.
Around '04/'05, Ten started showing their match at 9:30ish on Saturday nights in Brisbane if the Lions weren’t playing in that timeslot. Didn’t last long there before they just decided to say ‘bugger it’ and showed them live.
Then in 2007 QLD and NSW started getting Friday Night Football via Main Event, which meant you could finally have access to every match live/ 30 min delay up here with a Foxtel subscription.
