As for the argument that there may be extra games broadcast which will be a bonus - it is only a bonus if they are free - which I seriously doubt.
I believe you can buy day tickets to sky if you wish and cannot afford the monthly subs, so you already have your wish.

Competition will ultimately bring prices down. We are likely to start seeing that within the next five years, I would say.
I disagree with your point about the extra matches. They are additional to what you have now and so if you want to pay more to view extra matches, of course that's a bonus. At least that provides additional choice.
