WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
Just watched a great semi-final between Oxford vs Exeter, and then they announce that the Conference play-off final is on Sky Sports News!
Cheeky buggers!

Think Sky are rubbing it in the nose of VM customers? If so then that is dirty. Lets all go kick Ruperts baws in!

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
To be fair on Sunday there are two premiership games, live cricket and live tennis on at the same time as the final.

I'd rather see Exeter vs Morecambe than any of that lot.

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
Just checked skysports.com now and realised that all this coverage was on. Still, let's kick Ruperts baws in anyway.

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
Complain to the watchdog Ofcom so they are forced to provide Sky sports News during this time to VM at no charge to VM.
Some people subscribe to sports channels not just to watch that rubbish premier but other content. This is simply not acceptable from SKY. Suspect they are using it to try and rub the noses of those who dare to say with VM.

Why do you suspect that? Its not like they have put it on SSN and aren't showing live sport on another channel
How do you expect them to show it on their 4 Sports Channels when at the same time there is.
SS1 Live First Test England V West Indies
SS2 Live Heineken Cup Final
SS3 Live Final ATP Hamburg Masters
SSX Live First Test Bangladesh v India
Where do you suggest they show it?
I'm sure it will be repeated on SS later.

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
I think the large Indian/Bangladeshi population in this country would be some what interested in the cricket game..................
although I am all for moving the tennis.

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
Apparently they always show at least one Gmae on SSN. Its always a "crap" one but it has happened for a while...

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
Got to admit I prefer footy to tennis but it takes all sorts I suppose..... But a thought just occured to me... why isn't Sky Sports News a part of the Sky Sports package ? I'm sure there is a perfectly logical reason why it isn't, but would make sense to me.

Re: WTF!? Conference play-off final on SSN
Don't folks ordinarily have a freeview box these days, or an integrated TV ? SSN is still on Freeview for the moment, is it not ?
