Town Chairman David Sheepshanks says the TV deal that the Football League have agreed with Sky and the BBC is fantastic news for the League and every one in it. The new live TV deal that will see 10 normal League games will be shown exclusively on the BBC, highlights from all Football League clubs will be shown on the BBC's website. The deal which starts in 2009 is worth £264 million, more then double the current deal and Sheepshanks says that is good news.

Mr Sheepshanks: "It's fantastic news for everyone in the Football League.

"The initiative and enterprise the Football League has shown to popularise our competitions has been rewarded by this massive deal and will of course help clubs' economies massively.

"This deal doesn't kick in until the summer of 2009 but this underpins the future growth of the Football League and its members."
