Doubt it will appear tomorrow...but there is more than 1 El Classico a season.
I don't know how Premier Sports can command £9.99 per month with the rubbish they have got, subscribers must be minuscule. Don't know how they survive?

El Classico rated well in households who subscribed to Sky Sports. The likelihood of turning those numbers into a significant number of subscribers is questionable at best.
There is more than one a season but, depending on next years fixture list, they could only have one in the first calendar year. Or for their first £x million if it doesn’t arrive tomorrow.
Premier Sports don’t need many people to pay £9.99 to break even.
Eleven need hundreds of thousands just to cover La Liga.
Hopefully Virgin don’t bail them out with a wholesale deal and they go bust in the near future. A deal with a Virgin after El Classico would be the last throw of the dice for Eleven I suspect.
