Martyn Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15162241 Maybe this will be the beginning of the end for the Premier League? If this ruling, as is expected, stands up it could mean a major revaluing of PL broadcast rights.

davenportram Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Let's not get too happy. Surely that means Football league games can too. Won't that water down the value of the rights and cut income to the football league clubs too. Don't solidarity payments come out of the TV money too, this will have an effect on championship clubs too.

Perky1106 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 This COULD be great news for football, but the evil ***** at Sky have ways of fighting back things like this.

Leeds Ram Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Let's hope this can bring an end to the sky dependency which has crippled football, let us have our game back instead of a commercialized bastar*ised version of it.

CumbrianRam Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Well clubs are billions of pounds in debt, so I don't see them giving up easily.

Perky1106 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I've just blogged this. What an effort! It's quite long-winded, biased and does rant towards the end but I hope you get the jist of it! A lot of it's stuff you already know but necessary to make my main point.

Sorry, I'm still happy, if Prem TV rights money was cut by half and we lost all of ours, the FL would still be in a far stronger position. The slope of the playing field would be massively levelled.

p.shilton Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 All that will come from this is Sky developing the technology to block signals to non- UK boxes that are being used in the UK and things will be back to the way they are now. Only difference is they will generate millions from selling the foreign boxes before they block the signal leaving everyone with useless boxes.

p.shilton Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I don't see why, people are paying for a service that is supplied on contract in another country, surely it is up to Sky if they want to limit the service to that country only? It's like someone demanding that their 3 mobile phone works in Estonia for the same cost and under the same terms as it does in the UK- it won't and why should it?
