£640 a year to watch football in the UK 16:03 - Jan 11 with 1403 views | KeithHaynes | On Amazon Prime, BT sport and Sky if you subscribe to all of them. Most expensive in the world. USA second but almost half the price. | |

RIP off Britain I'm afraid and sadly never was a title so richly deserved . I'm currently waiting for refund from a Company who failed in providing a service which they admit wasn't delivered and promised by leter and phone to refund our money back , this on the 9th December via BAC as they recieved it , we're still waiting. Or paying over the top for our gas standing charge in which our account is currently over £800 in credit and lo and behold they so far have refyused to give us a refund . I 'd have no shame if I could rip off a big business then I would with no qualms about doing so | |

Agree. Nothing like being at the game, but would be good to have an option. | |

I subscribe to Sky Sports and Netflix and IPTV for the rest. IPTV can be a pain on times, if it was more bulletproof I wouldn't pay for Sky Sports or Netflix either. I have also gone tight paying for games outside of season tickets. I won't be attending Bristol City because it will cost £40-£50 for all of us to attend on Tuesday night where I am up for work early following day. I can pick up a stream on IPTV for free and go straight to bed after it. [Post edited 12 Jan 2023 10:57]

Seen similar stories in the newspapers, the advice was to ask them for a refund snd if they refused tell them you’ll report it to Offgem. That seemed to go the trick more often or not. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/information-consumers/energy-advice-households/check-if [Post edited 12 Jan 2023 12:58]

Exactly. Previously you could pay one supplier such as Virgin or Sky and due to cooperation between the two could if you so desired legally watch most sports and channels broadcast in the UK. Now as you say there are a myriad of different service providers. Sometimes programmes overlap, often as you say they each have series limited to that provider. 1000 homes in the West Midlands being warned they could be prosecuted is a drop in the ocean and realistically with police not having time to tackle serious crime on the streets of the UK as it is, how many "offenders" are they going to physically call on. More likely they could send out "cease and desist" letters. This may lead to subscriptions to VPN to increase ? Scaremongering I think and nothing more. Even if they did force those with illegall services to stop, do they honestly think it will lead to a massive increase in attendance at matches or even to a rise in subscriptions to the mainstream providers, at a time when many are feeling the effects of a recession and higher fuel costs ? Not on your Nelly | |

Good post, I was thinking when I read that, when did they change the law? I thought streaming was ok, but downloading and actually owning it was illegal? Like the way I see it, streaming is basically like walking in a shop, reading a magazine and not paying for it. | |
