But if sky do decide to subsidise it to "get it in" i can see it going out if its hideously expensive afterwards, as you say a lot of pub trade is going down not up. As people stay in with a few cans instead.

i was gob smacked aswell when the manager told me ,apparently it's linked to the rateable value of the pub so on average it's about 1800 a month but can rise to upto 20k a month for city center bars ,i was told that Shearers' bar in Newcastle center next to the ground pays about 15k a month

correction that's £2000 a month and £1500 not 20k and 15k ....had a hard day
