Actually, I think there was a test case a while back where a pub landlady was using a Greek (?) channel to show Premier League games. She was sued by Sky and won.



Indeed. I was just expressing an opinion. I wouldn't be going anyway as I live 60 miles away. That M62 can be dicey after 6 or 7 pints.

I'm not paying a fiver to go to the pub, I'm paying a fiver to get into the only venue in Hull showing something Id like to see. I pay more than that to go to the cinema. Isnt it a fiver a week to get Hull FC tv and watch the match from a crappy camera angle?

What a fuss about nothing.

The way you were talking about the value of 5 quid i thought you'd moved to Iraq.

Did you miss the part where I said 'for whatever reason'?

I don't consider paying a fiver to get into a pub is good value. Pubs make their money from selling booze. This pub will sell loads of the stuff at a time when they wouldn't normally be anywhere near as busy. Adding an entrance fee is, in my opinion, profiteering.



And that's your choice. Just as it's my choice to say I don't think the cinema represents good value for money.



Dunno, I don't get that, either.

Exactly, the fact we're all Hull fans has blinded people's judgement on this. So to put it into another perspective, if you turned up to YOUR LOCAL for something to eat or a few pints and they had an event on that they were charging for but had no interest to you, would you be happy to pay that cost to get into the pub? My point was that if you're a regular, you're having to pay out a £5 note to get into somewhere where it's free every other day. In effect you stick two fingers up at your regulars for the sake of £1000 - £1500

Is anyone allowed to start threads advertising their business, or does this bloke have special dispensation?

If so, I will be posting a thread in the next couple of days advertising my latest tour

It's a show starring myself as the main act, singing, dancing, some stand-up comedy and a couple of very interesting anecdotes from my life involving a-list celebrities.

Tickets will be £45, with some going to the charity, 'Top Hats & Waistcoats'*.




* - 'Top Hats & Waistcosts' are a charity I founded, which specialises in making tailored top hats and waistcoats for wild polar bears.

As the pub will be at maximum capacity you wouldn't get in anyway. Actually I'd just go to a different pub for the 1 time in the entire year that this was happening and stop moaning.

As you're obviously not grasping what is a very simple point that i made, I don't expect an adult response. Any chance you could leave this thread for the grown ups ?

Look if you thinks its expensive don;t go .........

I would love to go I liked the nights we had there before always a good laugh and atmosphere, but alas I am booked for aparty miles away.
