    Think I pay around £50 for phone line, broadband, box sets, Sky Go and all the sports.

    The full package was £90, an hour or so of my time and it became £25 for 18 months & that hour therefore earned me £1170.

    In this context of course it is.

    I can get (TV) and pay for it

    Or I can get the same thing for free.

    If I paid 20p for it it would be 20p I didn't need to pay.

    I think my gripe is that I have already paid for Sky Sports, BT Sports, and Amazon Prime, and now they want another £15 for the games that aren’t on those 3 channels - put them on ITV or BBC for free ffs.

    btw I use Live Player app for all the games that aren’t on Sky/BT/Amazon - normally good with very little buffering, just a tad behind real time.

    Like I said, you don't live in Tottenham but you assume all Gillingham fans live in Gillingham. Football is on a Saturday (so no day off work required) for L1 supporters, the same as it used to be for your boys until SKY came along. I've travelled all over the country, from Plymouth to Fleetwood, so it's blown your poxy one game right out the water.

    It's crazy how much you can get it down if you spend the time, think I was paying close to £90 at one point.

    Do you steal your internet as well then?

    You spend wads of cash yearly on weed, when others have the kit to grow it for nowt.

    Why should they be free though?

    The unselected games that kicked off at 3 pm Saturday pre COVID were never legally available let alone part of your subscription cost. Now they’re making them available but via PPV, I don’t get the beef.

    People seem to have been spoilt by the fact the PL allowed all games to be broadcast since the restart, but now are saying that the broadcasters and their subscribers can have what they’ve paid for, and the additional games can be viewed but you’ll have to pay a fee.

    Used to cost me around £400 for an ST or £25 per game.

    Then the gate money for all away games
    Beer money every game
    Food money every game
    Car expenses every game
    Coach travel or train fare.

    A bloody fortune.

    Been there done that mate, I prefer buying my weed than dealing with all the stress that can come from growing your own.

    Internet is about the only thing I pay for. But I'd steal that too if I could. Why not.
