The 120 million pound game

[seagullsovergrimsby]

This is what I understood happened, clubs gaining promotion and returning straight back after relegation lost those parachute payments and the money was divided amongst the remaining Championship clubs. El P is this right or wrong?

I think I've read somewhere that this is the case too but the parachute payment is a one off equivalent of the promoted clubs next installment added onto the solidarity payment given by the Premier League to the Football League which if true means the clubs in L1 and L2 receive their pittance as well.

How much are these Sky and/or BT football packages currently?

I appear to be saving about £25 a month by cancelling Sky. I still have BT Sport (part of the XL deal with Virgin - I really didn't want to lose Eurosport).

Really ?

I struggle to find anything of interest on there. Just seems to comprise of tennis, cycling, rallying, judo, skiing, tractor-pulls and Worlds Strongest Man tournaments live from Lillestrom.

What am I missing ?

I am a big fan of cycling. So you're probably missing nothing, but I couldn't be without it.

Don't subscribe. We were better off before Sky.

Still amazes me people pay for it on a contract, Match of the Day is all need

Fair enough.

My local has binned Sky Sports recently but still has BT Sports, so I quite often grab the remote and have a skiff up through the sports channels towards BT and ESPN (mainly for the baseball). Eurosport is always bypassed fairly swiftly I must admit.

Hardly. If Premier League football is all you're interested in, then a couple of highlights shows a week is probably not going to cut it.

And you are aware they do show other live sports as well ?

Unfortunately not KG. The parachute payments return to the PL if a club is promoted back to the top tier.

I feel the same about grumble flicks.

Yes you are right I just found this article.

The money gets shared by all the Premier league teams.
