Sky Sports EFL confirmed

[Deepcut Cobbler]

I cannot recall Sky having an EFL game on a Thursday night this season, I think it is very unlikely.

Didn't P@@h play a TV game on a Thursday a few weeks ago?

[Lizard68]

I at least want to know what the slots are likely to be for example I can't do Thursday nights at all so if we are likely to have 3 or 4 games on a Thursday night it would be pointless

Probably (I don't know for sure) Friday night, Monday night, Saturday 12:30 & 5:30 (maybe a later Saturday one 8:00pm?), Sunday 12:00, 2pm & possibly later. So, all over the place  . The Saturday 12(ish) won't be any good for me unfortunately.

Salford v Stockport - 14 March, not P@@h, but it was a n EFL game.

I can't remember where but it was mentioned there could be league 1 games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday  Sunday and .Monday. hardly good when trying to work out work balance

[Gustavo Palcrice]

Generally speaking I think the best time to play a game is mid to late afternoon on a Saturday.

[Observing]

Sounds like every game from the tinpot trophy thing will be on Sky, what a treat.

[WadeyCobbler]

These games can't all be live on their current sports channels, especially the midweek games and EFL trophy games as there aren't enough channels to show all the mooted games live. Presume it will be red button or a live stream on an app or something?

I pay about £86 a month for Sky Sports (no movies, no broadband). Just Sports + 'normal' tv package + HD + multi-room. It all adds up.

[Observing]

I assume a red button job?

Wadey,

The answer to your question is yes - they will all be on one way or another - live streams mainly. I pay £19.99 per month for Now TV and my Broadband is £22 per month (inclusive of phone line).

Waddy, you need to haggle with Sky. I also don’t have ‘phone or broadband from them and my tv package includes signature, sport, multi room for less than £70.

[St Edmundsbury Cobbler]

The amount of money people spend on TV is astounding.

[west stand oap]

I don't think that less than £70 a month is exorbitant when you consider how many hours football you can watch at any ground in the EFL for the same price and you have to pay more than this for a single concert ticket for some artists.

Hear hear.

Couldn't agree more. I have very good broadband. No TV packages at all. But watch everything I want.

You could take my TV away tomorrow, and I wouldn't care. But my music, that's a totally different story.

[Coolcat]

Paying just over £60 per month with BT for broadband (with Halo of course) and TV, getting SKY Sports News with that. Annoyingly, over £40 of that is actually broadband!

Still, at least I'm not one of the knobs on Abington Neighbourhood asking each week; 'Is anyone having problems with Virgin? Getting no connection hun x'
Just call them you bint!

Mods, renaming the thread required. Anyone used Giff Gaff? 

[Observing]

Giff Gaff for the win!

I pay loads for my Sky, multi room etc etc but I use it a lot so don’t mind so much.

Everyone is different aren’t they?

[west stand oap]

£60 a month is a hell of a lot for broadband we have broadband and 'phone package for £28 a month from Plusnet. As mentioned earlier we pay under £70 for our quite comprehensive Sky package which includes £15 for multiroom which is worth having as my wife can watch her things in 1 room if I want to watch an evening football match or in the summer a 20/20 cricket match. If you have Sky sport you can tailor your package and as I have no interest in motor sport and little interest in golf I have excluded them, there is no need to pay for the  full package if you only want part of it.
We are quite happy paying what we pay monthly for Sky which only works out as a fraction over £2 per day so if you consider that expensive £10 to watch a ifollow football match could be considered outrageous.

I use GiffGaf for my phone. £6 a month seems to cover everything I need to do. Good O2 coverage in the South of the county. Broadband and TV by Sky, but mostly watch BBC.

They want you to do everything online. I went on for ten minutes trying to reduce my package or cancel and therefore negotiate a deal but you can't but there was no phone number!!

If this was aimed at me, if you read again, I said £60 broadband + tv including SKY Sports News (no interest whatsoever in watching Prem games) as well as Netflix included. However, think £40 is too much for just broadband. I have plenty of data allowance on phone via EE, but other half working from home (Oxford University) some of the time, broadband coverage required.
