Sat down today looking forward to watching England vs Spain and I put on ITV hoping to see Southgate and the team which did us immensely proud during the World Cup and put faith back into the England team, ended up seeing Harry Bloody Potter! Turns out the England game was on Sky Sports as they have the rights to the UEFA Nations League.
England play a friendly on Tuesday against Switzerland which is being played at King Power Stadium (Leicester City's ground) turns out that is on bloody Sky! as well! Do they have the rights to all the England games now?? After such a successful World Cup which captured the imagination of the nation they now expect the nation to pay £25 a month or whatever it is to watch the National team, it's a ******* disgrace and I've had enough. They did this with the cricket back in 2005. Before 2005 majority of England test matches were on C4 and after we won the Ashes in 2005 and everyone got behind the team, Sky Sports then go and buy the rights.
Same with bloody BT as well. Was looking forward to going to FC Halifax vs Chesterfield and BT decided to televise the game and put the kick off back from 3pm to 5:15pm.
Really pisses me off as its our National sport and Football should be for everyone, not just for an elite few who can afford TV packages.
Turns out Sky have all England matches except the actual qualifying games and tournaments such as Euro's or World Cup.
