August 20: APOEL/Qrabag - PAOK August 28: PAOK - APOEL//Qarabag Hopefully.

He will be keeping Tosca company. I don't understand that logic either.

On Sunday, August 4 at 21:00 EEST the PAOK YouTube channel will screen the movie The Invincibles which is the movie covering the great PAOK season that resulted in winning the Superleague title unbeaten and also winning 3 consecutive Greek Cups.

Concerning PAOK TV rights for next season. The PAOK deal with ERT is dead as the new government will not allow it to go through probably after pressure from the governments right hand (Marinakis). Also, NOVA with help from Olympiakos and AEK prevented the ERT deal to go through hoping that PAOK would come back to them begging for a new deal.The relations between PAOK and NOVA are in bad shape and I would not be surprised if PAOK decides not to even talk with NOVA. The only other option left is for PAOK to sign with OPEN TV which is owned by Ivan Savvidis. The longer this issue drags on the more likely PAOK Superleague 1 home games will end up on OPEN TV in Greece and PAOK TV outside of Greece. All this just 3 weeks before the season kicks off.

Television rights for 2019-2020 Season Current situation for Superleague 1: NOVA: AEK, AE Larisa, Asteras Tripolis, NFC Volos, Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, Panionios ERT: Aris, Atromitos, Lamia, Panaitolikos, AO Xanthi WITHOUT CONTRACT: OFI, PAOK The most recent developments are that Panathinaikos and ERT ended their contract for the 2019-2020 season and then Panathionaikos signed a contract with NOVA for next season worth € 5,500,000. At the same time ERT has informed the remaining teams under their contract that for the next season they will have to take a 45% pay cut despite having a signed deal. I expect legal action by the involved teams against ERT, which might delay the start of the Superleague 1 season. Also the rumored deal with PAOK that was supposed to be € 7,500,000 will also need to be cut even though there was never a deal announced. It’s certain that the deal between PAOK and ERT will not happen. It is also quite possible that PAOK will decide not go to NOVA, since NOVA colluded with Olympiakos and AEK to make sure PAOK does not get the high paying deal from ERT. Most likely scenario is that PAOK home games will be end up on OPEN TV in Greece and PAOK TV outside of Greece. As for Superleague 2, ERT has decided to cut the deal by 60% despite a guaranteed contract between the league and ERT as part of the professional leagues restructuring. Superleague 2 teams are threatening not to start the season unless the contract remains intact. ERT is also contracted to show Football League games, but this is now in question thanks to the budget cutting by ERT. The Greek Cup deal with COSMOTE expired last season. EPO is looking for a new contract for the next 3 season, but nobody has shown any interest yet.

First things first. Lets eliminate Ajax! But I think we will end up in EL. Give me the winner of Slovan - Dundalk.

It's the winners of respective local amateur cups.

PAE PAOK has reported final total for the season tickets: 22,154

I believe only the shows that are licensed for Greece only get restricted. They just turn on the restrictions on and off depending on the show. Same thing happens with ERT web streams.

... or just use a VPN and watch the Open TV stream.

If nobody else picks it up in USA/Canada it could end up on PAOK TV.

5:1 now with Akpom again but stream from PAOK TV is frozen. So much for modern technology.

Stoch is the biggest disappointment so far. Also Misic got hurt and left the game.

Mystakidis scores his first goal for Volos in the NFC Volos - Lamia friendly.

Chatziisaias bids goodbye to PAOK fans:

Both pre-season friendlies tomorrow will be televised live on PAOK TV YouTube channel. At least one of them will feature commentary by Stavros Kolkas. ?

Also the fact that the striped one comes with white shorts (at least in the video). I think that any striped PAOK jersey looks better with black shorts.

Mazi mai ton Athinaiko.

I really like the black one. I think I will get one.

Aris - AEL 0:0 DAC - Atromitos 1:2 Should help in the European coefficient points total, although Aris win over a team from the country we need to overtake would have been good.

Apparently only 75 season tickets are left (gates 1,2,3). Also all the season tickets for gate 4 have to be distributed by the fan clubs.

The first Atromitos goal was a beauty. Charisis at fault on the tying goal. Aris could have gotten a penalty, but the ref said no. Also the ball probably went out of play before the hand ball.

Esiti has been paired with El Kaddouri in the first two practices. This basically means that the two will start together in the first game against Ajax.
