Anybody paying Sky anything like £100 a month is a mentalist when it's well known you could get everything bar movies for £30 odd a month. I'm paying £44 a month and that includes multi-room at £12.

Marky Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Will confess to two things. i gave up a long standing SSC membership after the 1-0 Prague game and have been to 2 Scotland games since (one home one away). I haven't read this whole thread so someone might have already said what I'm about to say. However! Am I completely missing something here. Does the introduction of home games to the points system really change anything at all? Are there really any significant numbers of fans who go to away games, but don't go to home games??

To an extent it does, it could have an effect on those who currently float around the 3-5 point mark per say, especially if getting to Hampden on a Tuesday etc is an issue due to their location. The week of football is to blame here though. It may not be a huge amount but there is obviously fans in this bracket. Folk don't have unlimited leave, so at the end of the day could go for a two/three day trip to Lithuania and get two points instead of a two day trip to Hampden and get one.

Grim Jim Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 "My" £100 threshold was actually a number picked from someone's earlier post. I do have a bee in my bunnet about giving Sky any money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I accept my wording was not exactly what I tried to express. (Typical for me, that.) My italics were meant to stress that paying Sky IMO does not on the whole support Scottish football. I've probably fecked up that sentence anaw!

I'm about 65 for BT, Netflix (share with my Mum), and SkyGo (I get from my Mum but pay the sport add-on). Only watch football on the Mac - mostly while cooking. Am part-timer theses days, having been up to 8 points and going towards 10...........then my Mrs went and got herself pregnant. Some fowk are just selfish.
