Question Tegal, you appear to be the number one fan for this lot but will you be keeping Sky? If you are what will it take for you to switch it off? (I.e: these guys or some other online company picking up the a league). Or do you watch a number of other sports on Sky (I.e: cricket or the nrl?) If so what sports going else where will make you flip the switch?

I can answer this too, I'm a massive fan of what Coliseum are doing too. It's the rest of the football on Sky that means I won't contemplate getting rid of them. All Whites games, Phoenix, A-League, Champions League on ESPN, one off events like the U20WC and the Confeds Cup, the occasional MLS game on ESPN etc. Even though Sky don't play anywhere enough football, they show a lot more than just the EPL. The best thing is that all of these are usually in HD quality. If a (non-illegal, non-shitty) streaming service (like PremierLeaguePass) was set up to show all these events in fantastic quality over the internet, then dropping Sky would be a much more feasible option. It will get that way eventually what Coliseum are doing is a stepping stone towards this.


I guess Patrick you watch no other sports on sky. Nevertheless judging by the above you may be waiting a generation or two before you give up sky. Your grandchildren will appreciate your deeds however
