FOOTBALL
Although we don't have Sky T/V at the moment (due to the £5000+ price per year cost of it!) we do show all the live matches that are shown free, including the Freeview channels, plus we show Match of the Day on Saturday evenings & Sunday evenings. We would love to have Sky & we are considering having it installed if there seems to be enough demand for it. What do you think? send us an email!!
