[QUOTE="Low Profile, post: 632597, member: 190036"] What it does bring to light is the fact that customers (or potential customers) are not happy with the current service that Sky provides. If you are going to produce a what if scenario then surely it opens up for debate the whole broadcast terms issue. Essentially virtually every viewer wants to watch their own team when they play, at current this service is not available. If Sky were (allowed) to show 3pm kick offs then they may have a case (in that the pubs would be avoiding applicable charges), but they're not. With current technology all 96 league clubs could have their matches broadcast live, if each club could negotiate it's own broadcast contract then we wouldn't have the problems we have now, and all teams could benefit rather than the top heavy scenario we have at the moment. The problems associated with football aren't just that some pubs are using suspect techniques, and in my view there should be a complete review. Just by looking at the amount of clubs with financial problems (often created by clubs gambling to achieve a higher status) it would appear that both the Football Association and the Football League are not helping matters. Sorry to veer a bit off topic. [/QUOTE]
