It would be a good thing for the Scottish game as the arse would fall out of the EPL and drag it closer to us. The only reason they are untouchable for us is the money SKY pour into them compared to the pennies they give us.
Rugby League teams from England plus France currently
Exactly. The SKY money is ruining football not helping it so seeing it crash and fall back into line would only be a good thing.
Sky along with other broadcasters worldwide put the money in
Scrapping is one thing but you would need the broadcaster to pay for rights
Thanks for that, I thought they might have been referring to darts, never occurred to me they were talking about rugby.
Which is why i'd like to see the arse fall out of the EPL due to their TV money being cut.
If they don't no 3pm on opening day can't see that
They’re the ones who fund Sky and therefore football.
Yeah might take a while for it to drop unless they decide to go their own way like a streaming service
I think the Saturday afternoon blackout's days are numbered, certainly in England. There's so much football on TV these days, most people just aren't bothered anymore. The fans will still watch their local/favourite teams in preference to sitting in front of the TV. You've only got to look at the size of crowds outside of the Premier when they there's a live European or EPL match on, the numbers still seem to be holding up very well.
As I said in another post it seems that may happen come 2029 as when 4 of the current broadcast end
There’s no blackout for the first weekend as there aren’t any EPL games that weekend, it doesn’t start till the following weekend.
Not sure if serious
Mental how I can see all these games without paying a fortune to Sky and therefore not funding the likes of Luton Town and Sheffield United.
The blackout rule only come into effect when 50% of fixtures in the top two divisions kick off at 3pm.
I find it sickening football players are paid 400k a week and hope we are never anything like that and i hope the arse falls right ou of it so football can be football again.
In England to applied by the English FA (FA Cup), Premier League & EFL (Championship only)
Yes ive had 6 dodgy sticks over the years and everyone has let me down in some way or form
We currently have non televised Edinburgh derbys, plus the vast majority of Rangers and celtic home games. Broadcasters would jump at the chance to buy the rights.
Haven't had an problems with mine for months now. Yes you will be a minute behind real time but i'll take that for a saving of around £900 a year and also getting alot more than my SKY package gave me.
Don't need SKY for games on a stream.
Yes I know and that is down the 4 home game quota (5 from next season) that is set by the clubs basically Rangers and Celtic since it would mainly those home games picked as their think mainly would impact matchday revenue but affects all the Premiership clubs if no quota
Im approaching 50 so a lot of my time now is spent watching sport at home
It is up the those bodies to decide if they wanted or not
Now tv used to be around 20 seconds and went to a minute and a half around the same time sky glass was launched
You are using the wrong people
My dad is 85 and can manage no problem
I'm completely aware of the 5 game rule, my point is all barriers should be removed and all games made available for purchase by broadcasters.
And that is down the clubs (Rangers & Celtic) to do that - 228 Premiership games all should be shown
I can assure you im really not, i work in IT i know how to set them up, I know how the servers work, my neighbour sell’s these sticks and has done for many years, out of the 6 ive had ive had probably double that in subscriptions everyone has let me down at some point 1 including an OF game where i had to go out to a pub and missed 20 minutes, (Ive still got one for when on holiday in UK or working away)
It did take a week to train him to be fair
