Do many watch the Womens league on Sky?.

[Blf]

Another Friday where there are no Premier league game or EFL games on Sky.
I'm begining to think they are trying to push me into watching the Women's game which is getting prime time slots.
I have no interest in watching these games which are a really poor standard compared to the men's game.
I'm glad that they are getting on TV more for those that are into it or play. However they shouldn't be in the prime slots that usually have games on Sky subscribers pay a premium for.

Ton.

 

[Frozen Horse]

Only in preference to darts, golf or Motorsport.

I really object to sky squandering my money on those and forcing me to watch them.

 

[Heine_Otto]

I cancelled Sky Sports this month.

Not particularly because of the Women’s football, but it’s something I have no interest in.

That and Sky Sports ‘Tennis’


There’s just too much stuff on there I don’t want to watch nowadays.

I did wonder why there wasn't a Championship match on tonight.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Nope, I also wouldn’t bother watching a League 1 or 2 game, or the Bundesliga games on Sky unless it was a really big one.

 

[Chutney]

Yup. It's great. As is the Bundesliga.

And yet there will be more people in that stadium tonight than most games in this country tomorrow….

Scotish footy on the Beeb.

Not if the tickets were the same price though.

Watching Galway Utd v Shamrock Rovers. 0-0 at half time.

Dunfermline v Dundee United on BBC Scotland has been a good game. I’ve been watching the Scottish Championship on Friday nights, it’s pretty blood and thunder. Just as I say that, Dunfermline carve through the Tangarines’ defence like a hot knife butter to make it 3-0.

Also I do watch women’s football. The standard is fine. It’s just different from the men’s game. I’ve been to watch Arsenal women play a few times and it’s great.

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

I will watch it sometimes.

I've enjoyed international women's football for years and think tactically the current professional game is really interesting to watch.

It's a different game - the same way I enjoy watching women's tennis.

I also watch WNBA.

Me too. I was at Chelsea vs Barca last year. Barca are exceptional

Likely just because it’s FA cup weekend, although at the price sky are charging, a top level game or championship at worst should really be on every weekend time slot

At a tenner a ticket I wouldn’t be surprised.

Although I doubt many are paying £100 every month for sky/BT to be watching games like this on a prime time slot

It was meant to be Leicester vs Southampton actually but due to the FA Cup the games off

Tonight’s game was a top-level game.

But that can’t be right as we’re constantly told by our great leader that cheaper tickets do not lead to greater attendances
