Sky have their highest customer base in the last decade and in Feb announced an increase in profits of 16% and trounce BT viewing figures. They know exactly what they are doing.

More pissed off at them chucking away their La Liga rights without a fight than them showing Derby and Leeds.

They got more viewers for League Two matches than for either Real Madrid or Barcelona's games, so maybe it just wasn't worth it.

Perhaps they'll think differently when BT start boasting about being the only place you can see the two best players in the world every week whilst Sky's European football channel consists of Partick Thistle vs Hamilton Accies.

Appears SKY have really taken their eye off the ball, literally.

If they think showing GAA, curling, netball super league is going to keep subscriptions up then....

I agree, I also notice a lack of interest outside the premier for update on all the other transfer info, Following the Daily mail "s example. It seems we dont exist .

Got it at a reduced rate too. BT were clearly too busy celebrating Sky missing out to sign the deal!

SpaghettiHoop I don't think the champions Bournemouth featured too much last season - definite bias towards Leeds.


They did towards the end of the season. After tonight though, I'm sure there time on TV will be limited

Our game yesterday wasn't on the TV so they dodged a bullet there.
