this could be very good news for struggling pubs and football fans alike.

Anything that upsets those at the sport broadcasting monopoly called Sky is surely a good thing.

It's possibly why I stopped going to pubs.

I agree Terry, I hate going in a pub that has sports showing - football, cricket or anything.
Somewhere civilised like Blakes works well for Jean and me.

horses for courses, wholeheartedly agree with jan about the murdoch empire.
i don't know how pubs could make a profit after paying the subscription unless they got a hundred or so of big spenders for each game.
something rather british about a lone pub landlady taking on one of the grest comglomerates and winning.

I wonder if the potential opening of flood gates for receiving Sky from Greece will aid the turn around for their ailing economy.
