of those who subscribe to SkyTV isn’t necessarily related to wealth or educational background.I don’t have it because I’m not that interested in the sports compared to the expense involved. It would be like saying only posh people can afford to smoke. I think cricket and tennis will always be elitist but a bat and a ball could be bought for £20, there’s plenty of park space. There’s loads of hard tennis courts around, usually empty.
