Toepoke Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Apparently cricket are thinking of chucking Sky because fewer kids are taking it up. Used to watch cricket all the time. Have hardly seen a game since it went to Sky. Mind you the BBC used to put it on as a summer substitute for the test card back in the day...

gusmac Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ewan murray isn't in the same league as allis. I watch the masters sat and sunday on the bbc. No adverts and no colin montgomerie spouting sh#te. Mark roe is a co#k as well. Its a shame san torrance isnt on the bbc team anymore as i enjoyed his commentary. Wayne grady is decent as is ken brown. It'll be the end of an era and really quite sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokescreen while they fail to see the bigger picture. So do you think a smaller TV audience will actually increase the number of people playing ? PS - if you do, can you post a link to show that ?

I, as well as you, can't prove this will happen either way but the industry are hiding behind this instead of dealing with the real reason people are walking from the game. Trust me, I work within the industry so see it first hand yet the R&A, SGU etc are moving at snails pace to deal with it. No one like change but if the industry doesn't change fast it'll die.
