Does anybody actually think SkyTV will care about some online petition?

Well, that Facebook group about mobile phones made the news recently, as have countless others.
 
There's no harm in trying and it's better than sitting on your arse dismissing the idea.

No but if they dont then i guess we will need to take it one step further by doing a proper one.

I was #3. This is a good petition.  Everyone should be encouraged and wish to sign it. There should be at least 10,000 signitures on it from thew Wellington area alone - Not just Nix fans but everyone who plays football and has access to a computer.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Being realistic this will change nothing. Sky only care about viewer numbers not about people saying they will watch it but don't end up watching it. So basically just watch every single A-League game if you want something to change.

Can they really tell viewer number from decoders? EVERY one? I have to say I have my doubts but welcome anyone that can confirm this?

Guys, not trying to be negative as it's great that you're trying to make things happen.  But this comes across as a little bit naive and pointless.  Two points, one sky only has a responsibility to its customers.  They are not going to take any notice of a petition that is open to the general public.  For those with subscriptions, keep writing to sky and putting pressure on them to televise the A-League at sensible times, either live or at times when it is still possible to watch the match without knowing the score. 
 
Secondly, as wellyphoenix07 has already pointed out, the key issue for sky is viewer figures.  This petition really is quite meaningless.  That is how they (wrightly or wrongly) measure the need to televise programmes so rather than protesting in writing, watch the A-League matches and any A-League related shows. 
 
Sky will focus on its customers, so if customers can make an issue or demonstrate a need for live televise A-League football then changes may be forced.

You dont believe that viewer numbers rubbish do you..?
 
You cant tell me golf highlights would get higher viewing numbers than LIVE A league football.

I can't imagine any non-Sky subscribers would sign it? Why would they care?
 
Also, see the other point about ratings? Golf highlights more than live football? Doubtful I imagine.

I care because we were planning on subscribing but have decided not to. Would love to be able to watch the matches properly though, internet streams are a great cheap option but not the same, scrapping World of Football etc was also a major factor in us deciding against it. If Sky sort their sh*t out and start providing decent coverage they will earn a happy family of customers keen to spread the word.
