F1 on Sky - are we just rolling over on this ?

[woof]

hey chaps

I know there's another thread about this, however..
The teams have now been back a week and are focussing on Spa but I think they all need a reminder that the most loyal and knowledgeable F1 fans in the world aren't happy and they will be loosing viewers and supporters because of the Sky Deal.

The teams have accepted the deal, and I'm sure they were aware of the implications for the fans when they did. With the money and contracts involved nothing is going to be reversed at this stage.

Nobody can tell the BBC what to spend there money on, but likewise I don't see why we should be forced to pay for a channel that doesn't show what we want. Make the BBC an encrypted subscription service so I can turn it off and put my 142 licence fee towards the channels that do show the content I want.

I couldn't agree more. Well said.

He's right you know. It's an interesting view and should be kept within the existing (and very lengthy) thread.
