Personally, I REFUSE point blank to pay £15 for a game they would usually show. I don't have the option of Radio as I'm not in the Leicester area so if I don't find a stream I have to miss this one. 

 

I dont really get much of a choice. 

 

*Edit* I can't go to the pub and watch it either as I'm in the central belt of Scotland and all pubs are closed.

I'm a bit lost on this, why is it so controversial? Aren't they just broadcasting games that wouldn't normally be available to watch for £15 a go? It's optional. I don't like Sky but surely people realise they pay a Sky Sports subscription to watch SOME games not ALL? 

 

I won't be watching as I don't want to pay £15, simple.

I thought this initially but when was the last time that a late night Satarday game wasn't shown? When was the last time only half of the sunday games were shown? 

Since project restart, BOTH the 5pm and the 7pm monday games have been shown on shown on Sky but now it's only one?!

 

It's clearly NOT only games that wouldn't be televised. They are deliberately not airing games so that they can kick them yo PPV.

Good point, I didn't realise this was the case so it's absolutely ridiculous actually. For some reason I assumed Sky would only be doing this for the 'additional' games so to speak.

 

Time for me to join the outraged mob by the looks of it lol

Like I said, I shared your train of thought when it was initially announced. I couldn't understand why people were so angry about being given an extra option to watch games they wouldn't be able to watch anyway (even if it was a bit steep) but since seeing the schedule of games that they are showing for this week, it's clear to see that they intend on taking the p!ss. 

 

Hopefully once they realise that they will have less viewers by going down this road, they will concede defeat and start showing the correct amount of games again. If not, I'll be cancelling my subscription but I'll hold off a couple of months to see how it plays out.

Same, all the pubs in Northern Ireland are shut too. Allowing the pubs to show and help their revenue is a good move though.
