I think people walking from the stadium is a direct message. Sky and BT cost a bomb but some fans may subscribe for La Liga, F1, NBA, NFL, UFC…etc. It would take a lot more than Arsenal fans for them to notice imo. They don’t do the Spanish TV rights system where the teams with the most viewers get the bigger slices. But some sort of action is better than no action. We shouldn’t be putting up with this.
They're basing all their future piss takes on TV revenue. That's what props up all their plans. Chop that away and you make an impact. They monitor these things very carefully, they would notice and so would the media. The stadium thing is never going to happen. Too many fashion fans now, many of the real fans who might show some solidarity are stuck at home because they can't scrape up the various mortgages required to buy a ticket. Cancelling a subscription is a single phone call or a mouse click. Not much effort there. And the pirate streams are better quality anyway so the only loss is for the TV companies (who ruined the game) and the ghouls who have descended on the clubs. I think it could be and should be done. Get that Piers Morgan cunt to shout his mouth off for something useful for a change. Mind you - I wonder what the pundits and fellow travellers would really think about it. Might it threaten the scraps that fall into their mouths from the table? Would be interesting to find out.
