If Sky or whoever starts broadcasting live football from empty stadia, would you pay to watch?

Your survey might be invalid because it will include grumpy old men like men who wouldn't pay for Sky anyway. I get all the TV I need on Freeview: in fact 95% from BBC. I need no more. Oh, and I don't watch men's football anyway as I don't need to see a bunch of overpaid drama queens. Only occasionally do I watch football these days, and only the women's game.

Needless to say, I voted "no".

It was a pretty good rant until the emboldened bit.

Sorry, I don't get you. Where is the "defeat"? you've seen.

Yawnarama.


Ah! So is this some criticism of the women's game I've stumbled across with you two? They may no have the obvious strengths of men, but at least they play a flowing game which is good to watch and if there is a foul (and they are far rarer) they just get on with it, by and large. No play acting and senseless gurning.

My fear is that this purer branch of the sport is becoming contaminated over the years, and it will only get worse as more money comes into it. I've noticed an increase in professional or dodgy fouls in the past year or two which is definitely not what I want to see.

Each to his own, but men's football has become so rotten is it a disgrace, and so are many of the men who play it.

I think you'll find the Conservative Gov't hates the BBC as much as you do. That's if I understand your poorly spelt post correctly.

Why the PL have not used technology to allow clubs to rent out games to people who can’t realistically get to games Is baffling, by just allowing satellite companies to broadcast “some games” is missing a revenue stream that is not currently here.
