I believe that raw commercialisation has taken hold over everything in our lives, and it's thoroughly depressing. I believe that the goodwill you would gain from a fanbase in showing such an event would more than offset the bad will from other teams' fanbases. The fans who pay so much money to a TV company to watch their team deserve better.Look. I understand your point of view and, to an extent, the aggressive manner in which you're trying to get it across.
However. Whether title challenges are an annual event or not, they create global interest.
Whether new stadiums opening are an historic events or not, they pretty much only create interest from supporters of the club who play within that stadium.
So, are Sky clueless fucks? Or are they simply doing the sensible thing & showing the content that they believe the majority would want to see?
And another question. Say our game was scheduled to be on Sky, and you were looking forward to watching it, but those useless fucks at Sky decided to cancel their scheduled showing of the game you were waiting for, because Brighton (for example) were opening a new stadium because it's an historic event in the clubs history.
Would those people at Sky still be useless fucks?
But more than anything, it makes me wish more than ever for the day when the PL starts an NBA game pass sort of service, because that's the way it's heading. Then all our games would be available and, added bonus, taken away from the clutches of the Murdoch empire.
I would understand if a rescheduled game of ours had lost out to e.g. Brighton opening a stadium because I understand the sentimental value of the game and would seriously quite enjoy watching a historic event. Maybe not the NLD but a game against Cardiff I'd happily sacrifice.
