    I mean, the fact Sky have already named the Newcastle match as a live game makes your point a bit spazzy, but anyway....

    We kick off a week later, when Newcastle are away, so we could be home or away. I want someone ****e so we can get a flyer.

    FYI if anyone is a non-Sky customer and wants 57% off for 18 month inc sport, drop me a message <laugh>

    **** sake, I've just entered a new contract with my provider about 40 days or I'd have snapped ya hand off. I might have 1 or 2 customers for you, though, leave it with me.

    Bolton first game of the season is what I'm looking for.

    I didn’t know I had them till yesterday mate.

    Includes BT sport from August as well. About £40 I think, madness. I don’t normally deal with that side just had an email thought I’d get it out there haha.

    Nowt in it for me like, but I’ve already sorted all my pals out.

    amazon are showing 20 matches next season, another frigging channel we have not got but pay a fortune to watch sport. Is SKY tv the best ? where are the BBC and ITV in all this, no, 16 days of tennis or the badminton horse trials if you please and the over 75's have to pay for this. I can imagine in the future we will be left with the world tiddleywinks championships from Barnsley or the european watching paint dry cup, from Scunthorpe hosted by a past it tv star.

    Amazon only have a 2 days of games, they are streaming the entire fixture list in Boxing Day.

    It’s for the FA to gauge if there’s a market for selling individual games, see if fans choose their own team over the big games.

    If it’s a success, it will change the way we watch footy forever, and obviously Sky will buy the majority of the rights.

    BBC and ITV can’t compete with Sky (owned by Universal Studios) and BT (worldwide supercompany). We ain’t ever getting regular terrestrial live Premier League.

    Sky will always be the king of sports in the UK, but BT have some awesome content as well.

    Sky has 4 times the games of BT premier league alone, plus all the other leagues.

    Monty whingeing... well I never, and as @Nads says it could change the way that we watch sport forever, which can only be a good thing.

    If SAFC were streamed at the same time as Man C v Liverpool, I’d pay to watch SAFC every time.

    I’d happily watch tiddlywinks if it kept horse trials off. Especially the ones where they make the poor horse do that poncy dancing stuff

    Is Sky's contract up in 2021? I heard Google wanted to get in on the act and were quite happy to bid well over the top just to get it all inc any BT as well

    Sky has until end of 2022 season, but nobody is allowed to buy them all, it’s split into ‘packs’ and max allowed is 148 games.

    All that will happen if another broadcaster steps in is there’ll be more games shown, not less content on the big 2.

    Thanks Nads, it's the way of it I know. I might have to call them again and say I'm not paying that and am prepared to be cut off. Seems to work if you say it like you mean it and depending on the day sometimes I do. Would probably have to wait till after the ashes to sound convincing though! Aye if you see owt that's great, if not worryingly I'll have to rely on my charm after the summer I think.

    Thanks again, top man

    The threatening to leave trick don’t work anymore mate, the best approach is to tell them you don’t want to lose it but it’s getting too high and have a proper convo and they will sort you out.

    The broadband and mobile is where you save fortunes now, TV prices are pretty rigid.
