We had that in Scotland last week when BBC2 showed two prime time hours of Kitchen Town playing Prancaster Rovers in the 2nd preliminary rounds of the EFA Cup.
[ PS .....I may have made up those teams]

youll suffer again it next summer to when 80% of the british isles are in France competing at EURO 16

Is BBC 2 regional ? I know BBC1 but think BBc2 programming is the same all over the country. Believe last year or the year before there was a Scottish PUB match on BBC2

How will they pay for the wonderful documentaries and the some of the most popular television programmes on telly - as well as the radio and Internet services they provide ?

It'll be back to how it used to be BBC2 an you get to watch what's on.
Be the same for Wimbledon not choice of match.

Is it time for the Beeb to take adverts and become a commercial broadcaster?

the only red button i use when the super snobby middle class tennis comes on is the OFF one

How exactly will I suffer as I shall be watching quality national teams instead of 7th tier English league rubbish.
I think you missed the point.

BTW Phil I can think of a few Scottish pub teams that would have given that pair a decent game. Duckla Pumpherston for one.

Then don't watch it - no one forces you to watch the game if you don't wish too.

Those two teams produced a cracking game - and I'm pretty sure your few Scottish Pub Teams wouldn't have given them a decent game even with your inflated opinion of Scottish Club Football

What you mean Kitchen Town and Prancaster Rovers are actual teams?
I find that hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure you are referring to the Salford game yes ?

Then you must enjoy watching Scotland 2015....five nights a week.
Viewing figures roughly 5,000 a night.

BBC2 Scotland....... current affairs programme.........that was never going to work

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I have no idea who the two teams were.......Thankfully the ten minutes I watched has now been erased from my memory.:lol:

Then you missed a good football game regardless of who played - most football fans would have enjoyed it.

Become commercial like everyone else... If they are as good as you say they are they will have no problem at all and will even make a profit!

Or we could go on being taxed for it so people like Jeremy Clarkson can be paid millions.

I pay for Sky, why should I be forced to pay twice. Also not at the nature program part of my life yet... Still rather be out in it!

People pay £146 a year - £11 a month for four channels - countless amount of radio shows and some of best telly without it being interrupted by an advert every 5 mins - imagine watching The Hunt and it being disturbed constantly by an advert. The BBC gives us the one bunch of programmes that can be shown without the need to advertise Pringles etc etc etc

People like Clarkson earned the BBC millions due to the amount of money they earned by selling the rights to other countries and will continue to earn the BBC millions which then goes back into the pot to make more television. Add in all the countless projects and funds they have to encourage musicians and emerging talent giving them a platform to display their talents. The BBC does so much work for the future as well as the present. All from people's ten pound a month - peanuts. You can't even watch a film or buy a DVD for that these days.

I would pay double that to keep the adverts away

Don't know where you go for your walks, but I don't see many polar bears / tigers / eagles / chimpanzees in their wild habitats on mine.

I wonder how much money we shall get if we sell the BBC off.

I used to be a big fan of the BBC until their coverage of the Scottish referendum.
Now I see them for what they are and no longer trust them to report the truth. Very sad.
