National game should be shown on national TV say Lib Dems
October 10, 2009 1:40 PM
Commenting on the fact that this Saturday's England World Cup qualifier will be shown exclusively on pay-per-view on the Internet, Jonathan Chatfield the Liberal Democrats' parliamentary spokesperson for South East Cambridgeshire and avid Histon and England supporter said:
" England games should be as widely available to the public as possible, preferably on free-to-air television.
"Using the Internet is an innovative idea, and a potential model for the future. But the reality is that many fans will miss out because they don't have Internet access at home and their local pub cannot easily screen the game.
"This is just another example of football's love affair with money - making a fast buck always takes priority over the interests of the fans."
