Exception proves the rule and all that...

The best thing about Sky / BT is that all the money trickles down to grass roots football, thereby giving us an excellent network of coaches, amateur teams and so on which can only be good for British football in the long run. Wall-to-wall 24 hour exposure to football will in no way lead to a saturation point when we no longer care about our local teams.
