Why do i have to pay to listen to the football?

[Evil Edna]

I pay my lisence fee which the bbc get there hands on, but then when i want to listen to the football im not aloud too why?

There is a way around this. I've done this with a mate before. Get skype and then get a mate who lives round sussex to put there mic near a radio and you will get it for free. Send me 40p a game and I'll be more then happy to help you out

The league own the commentary and sell it to who they like. The BBC are only allowed in on the basis that they don't broadcast it online and don't make a penny from it.

I can see your point, it pisses me off that just because I live in North Sussex I can't listen to the Albion game.

You must have a poor radio then, I can pick it up from Folkestone to Bournemouth and North as far as Coulsdon.

27 words, 8 spelling or punctuation mistakes. Is this a record even for NSC?

You don't have to pay to listen to the football anyway.

It's just not avaliable via the internet.

For the entrepreneurs amongst you , instead of skype get your mates to ring the 090 number you've set up and charge them £1.50 a minute

Actually, seeing as the BBC now have the rights to show Football League highlights as well as the odd live game does this not interfere with the internet audio rights deal?

 

[Comedy Steve]

No, because that's the rights to stream the internet audio live...
