Don't just moan on here - do something about it.

Like what? Write to the club? I very much doubt that will achieve anything. Write to Sky? As if they'd give a fuck. I already boycott Sky and don't give them any money.

The glib answer is to stop going. The only thing that will affect Sky is an empty stadium. But they know they have a captive audience built on much more than just a social few hours out of the house.

I genuinely wouldn't put it past Sky putting fake crowd noise over matches if stadiums were empty.  Empty seats don't bother them as at many games now the front rows, the only ones you see on TV, are all empty.

But me not going would have fuck all affect on Sky and the Premier League. The only thing me not going has a negative affect on is me and the Villa.

Plenty of empty seats at TV matches around the country as it is and doesn't seem to bother Sky.

It's a pain in the arse for me too.  I don't like Monday night games but it's not too bad for me personally.  My girlfriend who drives us in from Leicester hates them though, she's a teacher and her busiest day this year is Monday so she'll be knackered before we even leave for the match.  As for Sky, I dropped ESPN a couple of months ago.  £10/month for endless shit ManUre/Arse/Chelski/Liverpool wankfests?  No thanks.  I still pay for Sky Sports but mainly due to the cricket.  Now if only the new streaming site I've signed up for would guarantee the cricket then I'd drop Sky Sports too.

Booked flights and match tickets 2 days ago......God help the next Cock Sucker who starts telling me about fucking Football when they have never ever been to a game.....Also, why didn't Villa tell SKY to stick it where the sun don't shine, as we are on the WankFest channel the previous Monday.

I said it before, to much knocking I seem to recall, but we are only there for the atmosphere on the tv. If Sky could have their product without us they wouldn't give two shites. The money in the game doesn't come through the turnstiles so apart from not turning up en masse, which won't happen, to mass Sky protests in Teddington Lock that's nothing that we can do. Sky own football now.

At least 2 less villains from here attending. 350 mile round trip on a school day. No chance. What is more, when I travel up other family in the Midlands also generally attend. Therefore Villa Park crowd will be probably 4/6 down, just when they need the support. I will be best part of £200 better off tho'. But DW will be £2.00 worse off.

All we can do is boycott a game, they wont look good beaming pictures of an empty ground.But will we do it? No, we can all have a moan on here...I've been a season ticket holder for a long time but i,m thinking of only renewing if we go down ...sky piss me off
