I liked to go and watch the late kick off after rovers. Guess I won't be doing that anymore.

Why aren't they looking round such as Blackpool, lots of the pubs have signs outside on a Saturday afternoon saying which match they will be showing, supposedly totally illegal but nothing seems to ever be done.

stupid pillocks they should have got a Nordic satalite  system installed
at much much less the cost of sky sports

they could have shown  premieship games on a saturday at 15.00
along With a championship game at same time,along With any other
games sky or BT screen

in local pub on saturday we had Sheff weds v forest ,Burnley v man utd
then man city v stoke 15.00 KO followed by Everton v chelsea

Sky's commercial subscription is a blatant rip off, it wouldn't come to this if they didn't charge so much, I wonder how many Spanish bars have been prosecuted under the same laws?

£23 DRFC vs Oldham or £25 a month for Everton v Chelsea + at least 15 more games + All the other sports Golf, Tennis, F1 Boxing etc. Hardly a rip off.

Can you show me and the licensed vitulars association where they can obtain the commercial subscription to Sky for £25 a month?

But I don't give a monkeys chuff about Everton v Chelsea or any of the other games - I'd rather pay to watch rovers live, yes even the sh*te that was served up to us on Saturday, and watch MOTD for nothing whilst waiting for the FLS to show 15 seconds of TLO Donny!

I hate that sky has made football totally about money and impossible for most teams to compete. We may never reach the so-called promise land of big money but I'll still be watching rovers so long as we have a team to support.

The reason why sky Charge pubs so Much to screen live football is so
Obvious

The pubs dont show sky football as Its far too Much money.

So then more People will have to sit at home to watch football
And buy the sky package to do so

I think the opposite is true oslo actually. A lot of pubs will pay Sky whatever they want as it gets the punters in on match-day. The fact they can scale their charges according to how much the pub (potentially) brings in is what is ludicrous; their service is exactly the same yet they get away with charging more per month!

Skellow Grange used to pay just over £1,000 a month, about 6 years ago. (it was bizarrely based on rate-able value).
When football on sky first started it paid for itself, through people coming out to watch it and spending behind the bar.
For the last 7/8 years not many at all go to a club to watch football.

way to og for any pub or Club is to get a Nordic sat system up and running
as its much cheaper than sky.

also they screen live prem and a championship game on saturday at 15.00,as
sky or bbc or itv cant

also whatever sky show the Nordic system will show just in a different lanuage at times

Sky Sports is essential. How people manage to live without it I'll never know.

I've just got rid of it, just got BT Sports/ESPN now.

I'm missing it, I have to say, although I'm not missing the £100+ a month it was costing me for Sky.

Defendants couldn't even be bothered to turn up! Serves them right. No sympathy whatsoever. They deserved everything they got. Hope the customers don't suffer, though: I have a feeling that these crooks might be tempted to put the prices up to pay for the fines.

Lol Gaz!

I must bt the exact antithesis of you then. I wouldn't have Sky in this house no matter what you gave me. A million quid? Pshaw! I'd rather burn the money. That man and his brood are dangerous. Dangerous, immoral - or even amoral, criminal, destructive and grasping. And Australian.

Sky? You can keep it where the sun don't shine mate. :) If ever I have the misfortune to possess a copy of the Sun or the Times I do keep them though. In case I ever run out of bog paper.
