It really pisses me off that so many of our interstate games are only available on pay TV. Foxtel should be for the lazy bastards that can't be bothered going to a game (televise games played in Melbourne) and all games when a Victorian team travels interstate should be on FTA.

Now I have to take my kids to a pub if I want to watch my team play. ****ery.

2 Victorian teams = better ratings so as much as it's your idea is valid the TV doesn't want to hear it and you can't blame them. They have to go with what gives them better revenue.

And it's the same with every Victorian team, not just us.
 
Invest in Foxtel.

Worth it.

No, it's not at all. I go to most of our games in Victoria. There are three Richmond interstate games on FOX. I think it costs $672 per year for Foxtel with the football. I don't watch much TV, so basically I'd be paying $224 per game.

Well you wont have to go the pub often then? 3 times a year? stop windging. If it wernt for fox we wouldnt be getting any live footy.

If you really dont wanna go log onto
www.justin.tv
they stream the games live on there usually, if you have a decent monitor.

Yeah i'll be doing that tomorrow :) hopefully it works, otherwise the radio will do.

I can't go to the pub unless I take my 9 and 6 year old daughters with me. That's why I made the thread.

My point is that the games shown on FTA are usually games we could just go to watch live if we wanted to see them. The interstate games are usually on pay TV which makes them unviewable for someone in my situation.

But thanks for the justin.tv link. I didn't realise they streamed live and that may be the answer to my problem. :thumbsu:
