There is talk of Chelsea using Twickenham when Stamford Bridge is being re-developed ( if Wembley is unavailable ) guess thats a non-starter

Not so much a non starter, as a week in week out loan of the stadium for a side that could fill Twickenham would be way too much revenue for English rugby to ignore.

The odd FA cup final wasnt that much of an incentive, a full stadium for 30 games a season would be.

Are Sky still showing La Liga this season?

I thought I heard somewhere that the rights had expired.

It looked like it was going to BT but Sky managed to keep it in the end.

Good.

Speaking of BT, how much of the Champions League have they got?

I might have to give in and take out a subscription on top of my Sky box for this.

BT have got all of the Champions League. Some games (i think 14 in the whole season) will be made available for everyone to watch. Like the freeview matches on ITV in recent years.

Didn't realise they had all of them

Is that allowed?

I'd have thought some games would have had to go to a terrestrial TV channel.

Nope, Champions League matches are not on the 'crown jewels' list.

If there's no rule forcing a certain number of PL matches to be shown on free-to-air TV, then there's hardly going to be such a rule for CL matches.

I do believe that ITV will have a weekly highlights show though.

[Aidan11]

Looks like I'm going to have to fork out then.

Last I heard it was £15 pm for a HD sub to BT for those not on VM or BT. I hope it hasn't increased.

[Aidan11]

Just checked and it has gone up.

£19.99 for the 1st month then £23.99!!! PLUS a £15 activation fee and although I have Sky Multiroom that is just the cost for ONE BOX!!!!!


They can stick it.

[Aidan11]

Extra £5 pm to have it on a second box.


Greedy, greedy, greedy b******s.

I just use online streaming for any matches that aren't on Sky. If you know where to look you can get some pretty good quality streams.

That's what I'll be doing for the CL pay-tv games.

Pah! Our friends from America need to be introduced to proper football, ala Football/National League. None of this prima donna fairy stuff.

That chart gave me a headache
