But not so long ago Ecclestone was saying the tv audience was the most important because thats what the sponsors want.

Even from Ireland, how may BTCC races can I get to instead next year, still seeing good quality live races, if I choose (and I do choose) not to give mr Murdoch more of my hard earned?


THe BBC really screwed themselves.  How many casual fans will watch half a series, and how many who do pay sky will think it better to watch BBC after giving sky their extortionate fee?

The fan lost out today.  How many more millions do you need mr Ecclestone?  When does enough become too much?  I'm a lifelong fan, I buy the overpriced merchandise, stupidly,  I buy the products on the sides of the cars, I and many like me are the ones who have made you rich mr Ecclestone.  I and people like me, dedicated loyal hard working, working class fans are the ones that got f*****d over today by your greed, by your need for more.  Thank you Bernie. 

Did I say thank you?  I meant f*** you Bernie, f*** you and your greed.

May you and mr Murdoch be very happy counting your money, knowing there are people you have excluded from the thing they love.

Apparently the teams couldn't care a less about the fans either...

To reiterate, the BBC will NOT have access to the Sky only races to broadcast at a delayed time.  That's just what Martin Whitmarsh 'supposedly' understood.

Yup Scott, noone gives a toss about viewers. What does the boss of HRT know when he says he does'nt believe we like to wake up at 4am to watch a race, how much out of touch is he with the fans.

Kolles is a complete jerk. I think of him as Flav's Mini Me. I don't put much stock in his claim that the teams all like the deal. I'll wait to hear what the other teams actually think.

Kolles has to agree with Bernie, if your were in Kolles' shoes in a crap going nowhere team withno sponsors then you would fall in line with whatever half arsed half witted plan came along that could earn you more money.

In this cases 30 pieces of gold for betraying the fans.
