I am quite happy for Greig to remove me as a moderator, if he thinks its in the best interests of the forum. Would you like my moderators job perchance? :-)
I admitted and apologised that my post came across as patronising even if that was not the intention, perhaps sometimes sunshine you need to have a hard long look in the mirror and admit your not...
Pot Kettle indeed Ste :lol :lol :lol
And where in the thread were you discussing the subject at hand? :Hmm
Your not wrong Suzie, in effect the deal is creating a two-tier system for the fans, those who can afford and those who cannot. What concerns me is where does it end? it may start out be 10 grand...
Sorry where was I shouting? - I was emphasizing that the deal with SKY and BBC was not in the interest of all fans, I don't think by putting ALL in capitals means I was shouting at you. I don't think...
It doesn't mean it was the right thing to do or in the best interests of ALL the fans Ste. You may find it difficult to comprehend what the fuss is about because you can easily afford a SKY...

Sky/BBC deal 'saved free-to-air' F1 coverage in UK
By Jonathan Noble Sunday, July 31st 2011, 11:36 GMT
Williams chairman Adam Parr believes...
Which he has evidently done and the BBC and FOTA have been complicit into the bargain. I think part of the reason why the response from fans has been vociferous has been that the BBC has gone around...
With all due respect alot of F1 fans cannot afford to pay an extra £40-50 a month for 1 tv program that is on once every two weeks, especially considering the UK is in economic recession, alot of...
Alot of fans who are angry about the BBC/SKY deal have said they will not watch F1 after this year, whether that is said in the heat of the moment and whether they will go through with it remains to...
Good to see so many F1 fans venting their feelings on this - 4000+ comments now :-)
I don't have £32 spare a month Ste I have taken 3 pay cuts in 8 months to keep my job in the NHS, I live in one of the most expensive cities in the UK for renting. It is not just casual fans that...
Exactly Sian, alot of people in this country have either lost jobs, taken pay cuts and having to meet increased living costs as a result of the economic situation in this country....it is pretty hard...
From what I understand yes the TV license fee has been frozen for six years and the BBC decided to find 20% cost savings from their sports budget, so they have sacrificed F1 to keep Wimbledon (for 3...
Just to incense me further...I registered on the BBC blog and registered my displeasure and they have referred my comment for further consideration :furious I hope this means someone at the BBC is...
Personally I'd rather save the £600 plus required to get the SKY package (plus installation costs) and buy tickets to two grand prix. The rest I might as well watch down the pub it would be cheaper...

Formula 1 teams are...
It's not so bad if your a big watcher of TV and are happy to pay out monthly for SKY tv already, but the current financial situation in this country is squeezing people financially and times are...
What is the point in only showing half of races live on the BBC? :roll
Basically the decision forces people to have to go and buy SKY if they want to follow all the qualy and races live....

Quite amusing coming from the person who was champing at the bit earlier in the season for Massa to be dropped from Ferrari.....
maybe he needs to look at his own behaviour before criticising...
