Not a fan, but can sympathise with those who are - any pubs round your ways who are likely to screen it? They do that for some of the RU games....but only if its during licencing hours and doesn't clash with a major football game.

well i was only saying :-( :-(

i agree its silly to pay for ya licence then pay to have sky, would you not be able to watch it on live stream online :-D

So, we got topay for a licence and then pay again to watch sky?

i'll be up the pub!!

Oh think i best let OH know too as we don't have sky sport

Tell him we'll have a group (((HUG)))

I'd forgotten about the horse racing commentator :-0

At least it didn't cost to watch.

I've broken the news to His Nibs. He says no no no.

ITV's coverage was AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I seriously wanted to flatten a certain commentator.

BBC have the right format which fans deserve but Ecclestone only has £ signs rolling in his eyes. He could have struck a deal if he really wanted to support BBC.

Ah I see LOL, being a bit dozy :-

Seems a bit pointless for the BBC to just put half the races on.

End of the road for us then as we don't watch much in the way of other sports - I haven't broken the news to His Nibs yet :-0

I wonder why ITV didn't take it.

Shurrup Stray :-P :-P :-P :-P

hey as long as they still have eastenders :-P :-D

My son is very upset by this too. Jake Humphrey, Martin Brundle and David Coulthard have been excellent commentators and it won't be the same on Sky - unless Sky decide to buy out their contracts from the BBC.

We don't have Sky, so don't know yet what the two F1 addicts in this household will decide on.
OH and younger daughter won't want to miss any action though, so highlights might not be enough......

No Sky will transmit all, BBC can only transmit half as I read it.

It will be a big financial decision for us but as I don't get out much I guess we'll have to find the extra money each month.

Sue

Pay full whack to sky and only get half of the races? :-S

So we have 2 years to wean oursleves of it.

• BBC to show only half of the races in final two year of deal
• Savings help BBC keep rights for events such as Wimbledon

Great isn't it? fans will be forced to subscribe to Sky Sports :-(

The wonderful Martin Brundle is not impressed.

I am sick and tired of Sky getting a stranglehold on sport I like viz; rugby and F1.

The excuse is that they couldn't afford both F1 and Wimbledon, well they can take the bat and ball off air for ever as far as I'm concerned.

If I want to see/hear a bunch of woman grunting every time they connect with a ball I'll buy a DVD in a brown paper bag!
