Not at all. It's going to get worse in the next few months. Reports suggest that the price of SKY Sports will jump up as much as £3.00 per month in the next couple of months.

Depending on who you get your TV service from, having access to SKY Sports and BT Sports in HD could cost anywhere from £45 to £55 per month.

I can get a full season ticket for my club Rangers or other local teams like Falkirk, Livingston, Dunfermline, Hearts and Hibs for almost half of that price. Even taking into account travel and food on match days I still would be less per year than subscribing to SKY and BT!

Maybe it's time people started going to see live local sport, instead of spending up to £650.00 per year to watch it on TV! In fact if you also have the likes of Boxnation, and Premier Sports, you could be paying almost £900.00 per year for televised sport. Crazy
