Amazon, BT and Sky are not going to pay BILLIONS to show Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston. They already tuck the deadwood PL fixtures like Cardiff v Burnley away on weekends when they know everyone will be watching the golf. Added to that, when exactly are they going to show all these "PL2"...

D'oh. I keep FORGETTING that bit. :facepalm: I'll buy ANYTHING with the word "Premier" in it. I stayed at a Premier Inn early this year, and it was BRILLIA.... ...no, hang on. It was shite.

So if its all so glamerous still, then why didn't anyone subscribe for it around 1999-2000 then ? You had Blackburn, Sheff Weds, WBA, Forest, Wolves, Bolton, Watford, QPR, Man City, Norwich. Still in amongst the dross like Palace, Barnsley, Tranmere, Stockport. It didn't work back then. Why...

Perhaps someone should point him gently in the direction of ITV Digital, and what happened to those bozo's when they tried to sell TV subscriptions for the 2nd Division. They went bust and damn near bankrupted half the league. What an utter spunktrumpet.
