I have read this topic as it happens and what is obvious that a lot of what you post apparently goes over the head of anyone who responds to you negatively...it's your standard riposte and it's tiresome.

Who are these Manchester United fans that you speak of, you know the ones that are boycotting matches specifically because SKY have put all this money in?

As I understand it, there are plenty of 'average' Football supporters of quite a few clubs that find the money in the game ridiculous particularly when it sloshing around in the pockets of agents and mercenary journey men.

Question is, should we as a sport try to take advantage of this? Well I think we should, as our sport is generally a better product in terms of value, it's one that has not lost touch with reality and is something that can still and should engage with the community that our teams represent.

My worry is that we will all end up footing the bill with higher charges.and a lot of us just watch rugby

I just told you, do I have to literally spell everything out.
Glaziers. FC Utd. Boycotting. Who Cares.

That is the point.

Boycott or not, they all go back to being Lemmings in the end, a Lemming being a in factual critter that follows it's leader over a cliff.

I didn't know that the Glazers ran SKY that is the point as the debate is about the comparative investment in the two sports and will the football one have an impact on the RL watching subscribers and the game in general?

The lemming story by the way is a 'popular misconception' a little bit like you really apart from the 'popular' bit oh and talking of spelling things out what does "being a in factual critter" really mean?

Don't give Sky any money then. You obviously have access to the internet or you wouldn't be on here, so you don't need Sky.

Who buys "Sky".... XBMC with a touch from "KODI" is the way forward

Latchford Locks apparently, and other people who are happy to finance the problem.

Of course you'll get people coming on now crying saying rugby league wouldn't exist without Sky, but it did for decades before and it was better then. Same applies to football. I'll acknowledge that darts is better now, but that's about it. Stop feeding the animal.

I never said Glaziers ran sky.

can you not see I was merely pointing out that a backlash, which I take would be from the fans, is pointless.

I used Man Utd as nothing more than a comparison of how fickle fans are.

It doesn't matter anyhow now.

I withdraw all my remarks upon this topic, and apologise for any confusion and displeasure they have given.

Lock it!

Couldn't you make it [iforum[/i

just sayin'

Thanks a lot lefty.
you carry on enjoying your posting.

Just read the entire thread. Prior to doing so I thought that I was a relatively intelligent person who could make sense out of most things. Now I'm not so sure.
