It could well be the case that the SFA and FA view things differently; e.g. SFA just go for the highest bidder whereas FA take a bit of a hit so it's on free to air. Doesn't appear to be much info either way unfortunately; can anybody find out how much they actually pay for the rights? Of course, the only home nation who has ALL of their matches on free to air is actually Wales on S4C. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess ITV are willing to sacrifice more of that potential advertising revenue than Sky are to pay the FA for the rights. ITV have f**k all else in the way of live football. Sky have plenty to attract subscriptions and already have their cash cow. People likely wouldn’t buy subscriptions just for England games so they don’t see it as worthwhile just for ad revenue alone. If ITV want to be seen as a player they have to show something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the media trot that one out every time they want an England manager punted then explain why the FA can’t afford to sack him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure your average England supporter will be glued to the England women on TV in the same way they would up here. A real ratings winner. Doesn’t matter if you agree with it or not, that’s how it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
