The Mail Bag

No Everton on Sky

Is it just me or does anyone else feel insulted that out of the 15 live matches throughout December we feature in NONE.? A fucking disgrace is my response and if it wasn't for the rest of the family I would cancel Sky without hesitation.

To be fair to SKY they have ratings to consider and for too long Everton has been horrible to watch.

Sure we want to see them play but to the neutral , Everton and switch off must be the big connection.

Maybe the £35 per person per ticket for an obstructed view in an antiquated stadium with poor facilities is the excuse?

"The Derby" hasn,t been moved to sunday but Derby county away has been put back 24 hours at and will kick off at 2pm because we progressed in europe and will not be shown live on sky.

Eat your heart out! Here in W.Oz On Sky each week we get 8 of the 9 EPL games live. Four are on at the same time, we select or flip between them.
Still an all, if I lived in Wirral, Hell and high water would not keep me from Goodison.

Garry, good job there are thousands more that it doesn?t put off...get a season ticket, you... have your pick of unobstructed viewws...antiquated it may be, but realise antiques carry a hell of a lot of history even when crumbling, thats what makes Goodison immense...£35? and? so what? what do you wanna pay? go and watch marine FC and pay £8.50 live in the now man! go and check the prices at otherprem cubs, if you don?t like it stay away...or carry on as usual an listen to the game on the radio..

In fact Garry, after re-reading your post, can I just add...WHAT DIFFERENCE DO THE ’FACILITIES’ MAKE? I would watch Everton if there was no such thing as a concurse selling pies and pint’s (no matter how shite we all know the service/fayre is) get a grip lad...facilities!!!!!!!! your their to support the team, not a day out!

I hate to quote the Manc twat, but you sir are clearly ’one of the prawn sandwich brigade’

Glen you hit it right on the head, we dont make good television, anyway being on ch 5, for the EUFA campaign will suffice.
Lets create our own publicity, on the field.
with great results.
I dont subscribe to sky to watch Everton.

The reason Mike, is because when Everton play, the stats on viewers make less than pleasurable reading for Sky execs. As has been mentioned in a few of the posts above, our brand of football is seen as the reason for this. We dont tend to attract too many neutral viewers.

Couldn’t give a toss one way or the other. Don’t have Sky in the house and never will. Would never even consider putting a penny in that Australian/American or whatever nationality he is this week for convenience sake’s pocket.
It always amazes me how some Liverpool fans refuse point blank to Buy The Sun (something that I wouldn’t dirty my arse on) yet continue to give money to its owner by subscribing to Sky or Listening to TalkSport Radio (thereby boosting its audience).
Sky? A pox on it.
