Wales v England (Euro Qual )

[redman41]

Being as the Match on Saturday 26th at the Millennium Stadium is a Sell-Out, it's a shame the Game is not being shown live on BBC 1 at 3pm instead of on Sky 1.
Most top Sport is now Pay Per View so those without Sky will have to watch the Boat Race instead ! Shame really.
Cannot see anything but an England victory especially as Gareth Bale has been ruled out through injury.

Yes it is a shame - thats the way sport has gone - the BBC clings on to some events but it's only a matter of time before Sky get their greedy hands on them

totally agree redman, i think the national team should be on bbc or itv, whichever region in depend on what game you get on. we get the england matches, bbc/itv wales gets wales etc... throughout the uk.

is the national sport and 1/2 of the people won't be able to watch it.
sky will probably try and get rights to screen a world cup soon!!

No point whingeing about it.......subscribe, find a pub to watch it in, or miss the game

[ABerrant]

It is FIFA and UEFA trying to push broadcast rights onto the pay-per-view platforms to maximise their profits...

i'm not missing the game i'm just trying to make a valid point that the whole nation should be able to watch you're own nation at the national sport free.

[joeluke]

Fair point but I think England cricket fans have more to complain about on that score (test matches all on Sky)

[wilkesneil]

sky are taking the biscuit with all the sport, someone needs to put a stop to it.
they get everything from football to boxing and maybe would try and get dabs on the tiddlywinks championships lol

[redman41]

At least we still have Formula 1 on BBC 1 Sunday 6am, Sky have not pinched that yet.
Luckily I have Sky Sports 1 so can watch the Game Sat afternoon, if I did not probably would have gone to the Pub to watch and do some gargling at the same time !!

Fortunately Sky do not have Internet monopoly - so the England game can be watched online.

I could not agree more - all national matches should be on the BBC and Sky can keep the Prem.
As for ITV - I would not let them have tiddlywinks or marbles - they would feck that up too
