These fookers should be taught a lesson. If everybody just cancelled their subscription (contract permitting of course) it would send the chills up their spines and the spine of the PL

You could always just cancel it and hook a laptop up to the tv and stream the match.

I know a pub in Sunderland where SKY  were asking  £31,000 when last season it was £17,000.
 
Again that pub has pulled the plug.
Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world

Yup that's it. And they have inspectors coming around a lot I'd imagine.

There is a pub in town and the owner was chuffed as he was able to get a dodgy box of some description that put the pint on the screen. So it only costs him the household price. Saved a years wages in one swoop.

Ridiculous money. Pub I work in has a regular box, no way we would be able to spend that amount of money on it. Madness. These coonts are at the heart of what is ruining football.

nearly 2 K a month no wonder bars are going outa business if they are having to fork that out . coupled with more drinking at home, various smoking bans, people going out later. I would tell Sky to shove it.
 
Serious amount of bars closing in England

i think myself the gimps who follow these teams who are built on a culture of money rather than football are as much a part of the problem.
of course sky are going to keep raising the prices, they have more matches again this year i think, which they have to pay for, its a very simple process but fans who want to watch the likes of rooney, lampard and co. playing every week at about £100k a head they are going to be charged these prices
