Dave Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Shame that people hold so much against Setanta, it's nice to see companies trying to berak the Sky monopoly. Good luck to them. Aye, it's great paying more for inferior coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Wait until ESPN get in on the act. Now that will be inferior coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Shame that people hold so much against Setanta, it's nice to see companies trying to berak the Sky monopoly. Good luck to them. Their coverage is fucking woeful. I'd rather it all went back to Sky. I'm all for their monopoly - all I want is good quality coverage of live football.

tgarve Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 i think personly the bbc's coverage of big games is the best, but unfortunately after this season that will be know more as its all on sky, itv nd setanta, shearer and hansen got it easy next year with just motd to do.

Aye, it's great paying more for inferior coverage. Look back to Sky's original coverage, that took a while to get going. People complain about the influence of Sky; of course it will be difficult for competitors when Sky have such huge economies of scale. I hope Setanta get more matches!

Karjala Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 While I agree Sky is better, i couldnt give a shite. Sky was costing me £600 a year to watch about 6-8 NUFC matches. Setanta costs me £85 for the season and i get to watch i similar amount of NUFC matches. Also get a golf and NHL channel included. Setanta's coverage may be shite, but *IMO* its a lot better value. Incedentelly, does anyone have a list of what NUFC matches have/will be on Sky and Setanta so far this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think it's alright myself, I watch it for the footy, couldn't care less about the lipstick. Beats ITV hands down, now that's crap coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 These could be wrong but: NUFC Matches on Sky/Setanta - season 07/08 (up to Feb 23) Sky: Villa(H), Man C (A), Sunderland (A), Liverpool (H), Arsenal (H), Derby (H), Boro (H) = 7 Games Setanta: Boro (A), Derby (A), Spurs (H), Fulham (A), Man U (A), Bolton (H), Man U (H) = 7 Games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ah right, you're saying there's no way all 14 would have been on Sky, get ya. So you pay much less and get a similar number of games. Touché. I like to watch all teams though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touché. I like to watch all teams though. Yeah thats true enough, Setanta shows 44, Sky 96. Just personally dont see the value in paying an extra £500 to watch other teams, and *dodgy subject* there are other ways to watch them, if really needed.
