England match to be internet only

[marky No.1]

I will be showing it in the York - I have subscribed to the internet service and will show it through one of my screens. At the same time the Rugby League play off final will take place so you can come along and get to see both events.

The whole situation stinks as Sky charge pubs a fortune to show the games then they cant be arsed to bid for the rights.

Is this service legal to broadcast in a public place? I know Sky charge by rateable value etc.

Doubt it's legal, but then the pubs that use foreign satellites are using personal subs as well, which is also illegal.

None of the broadcasters are interested in the rights because it's nigh on impossible to make money from then - won't generate extra subs for Sky/ESPN, won't bring in enough advertising for ITV/Five/BBC can't justify spending £5 million on an essentially meaningless match.

They also make the players all wear the same sponsor stuff addidas, even if players have their own boot deals etc when it comes to the national team they have to wear the national sponsors.

Why is this a good thing?

[George Dawes]

In Germany all their national games are shown on terrestrial tv and their FA don't believe in selling the rights to the highest bidder. They believe everyone should watch the national team and it should be a national event.

the problem with that in our country now, it would be deemed to politically incorrect

only problem with that at times there can sometimes be a 3-second delay, just like watching a 70s kung fu film dubbed
