[Football] Do you subscribe to Sky Sports?

[Green Cross Code Man]

There it is. Simple question brought on by the discussion of Sky moving (primarily) Leeds matches, but also of the implications on matchday attendances and revenue at the Amex.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

No, I don't subscribe to Sky Sports.


PS. It is far too expensive, and I believe there are other ways to enjoy sport coverage eg. the wireless.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We used to, but cancelled the whole Sky thing, not just sports.

 

[Springal]

Yes, but seriously reconsidering dropping it in the summer.

No champions league, fewer games being shown after being muscled out by BT.

 

[catfish]

No. Murdoch will never get any money from me.

 

[sparkie]

No.

Freeview + Box Sets + pub if albion on TV.

 

[Bozza]

No - just can't justify the cost.

We do have Netflix and Amazon Prime, although mainly for the kids. Also BT Sports - not sure if we actually have to pay for that or not. It gets used about once a month when I remember it.

 

[tinycowboy]

Too expensive, don't like Murdoch, and could possibly turn me into a couch potato. So it's a no from me.

 

[carlzeiss]

No , although currently half way through a 3 month freebie from TalkTalk

 

[Official Old Man]

I do the whole thing. But, as mentioned in the Sky Q thread, I have two boxes and one is 200 miles away with my Daughter so I am getting two for one in a way. I do watch a lot of football via Kodi in my office (although Sunday was in front of the 50" screen with Dolby). I may be tempted to dump the sport & movies at the start of summer and see what they come back with.

 

[mr sheen]

No. Now TV if I'm desperate to watch

 

[sully]

I do not have and never have had a Sky TV subscription.

Can't see anything that would change that situation, either.

 

[Rugrat]

Never have, never will

 

[Albumen]

Waste of money, feeding the vile tycoon who has the Tories in his pocket? Ummm, no thanks.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Yep. Watch so much sport I can't imagine not having it. NFL and Golf in particular.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I watch it....but don't subscribe to it...

 

[Frutos]

Yep, I love watching all kinds of sport so its a no-brainer for me.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Yes I do, mainly to watch cricket which I would otherwise not see. It is expensive but I can just about afford it and as I am now retired there is the thought of enjoy things whilst you can. It is not harmful like alcohol which I find a challenge to control.

I do not have a season ticket and do work out that I save £40 for a few games which are on Sky which I would otherwise attend and which goes towards my subscription. In theory I guess I pay the funds to Sky who pay it onto the Premier League and into those players pockets. Perhaps I should not think of that too much !!!!

 

[MattBackHome]

I did but I don't anymore. Waste of money.

Luckily there are alternative ways of watching every single Sky Sports channel which don't involve chipping into the latest Murdoch wedding fund.

 

[Ernest]

I have all the sports on SKY and BT as part of my Virgin package although I've BINNED the movies and extras now as the prices rises were getting too much. I've had SKY since it was on Redifusion cable back in the 80's and people forget how shit TV sports were before SKY came along
