League Fights Back Against ITV Digital

The campaign is called 'Save Our Clubs', and will begin with the 72 Football League clubs' chairmen picketing the London offices of Carlton and Granada, who have failed to honour an agreement to pay the League £178.5million.

It will start on 10th July, just over a fortnight before the court case on 26th July.

Football League Chairman Keith Harris said: "We remain appalled that two corporate giants like Carlton and Granada can be allowed to cause such catastrophic damage to our national sport in the selfish pursuit of their own interests.
"We have made numerous attempts to negotiate with Carlton and Granada only to be rejected on each occasion. Our patience is now at an end."
