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  |
Great post!
I'm off to the match tonight, and, at least until we concede the first goal(!) it's going to be amazing-Selhurst is a hole of a ground, but tonight, under the floodlights it will be on edge, nervy, buzzing and alive. I simply couldn't watch this at home and match the experience. I'm very lucky in that I can afford to watch my team live and subscribe to Sky Sports (although I'm also quite tight and in general I choose not to subscribe!), AND that I am physically able to go to the match - I recognise that not every body is in the same position - but if I had a choice to make based on finances then it would be Palace, pint and pie every time!

I mean, have you seen some of the viewing figures?
One Episode of Mad Men had 58,000 viewers and when coupled with re-runs averages 150,000.

No, just 25% of them.
