These were readily available on demand for those who wanted their golf or f1 fix

[TimmyBGood]

Perhaps worth noting that F1 rights cost Sky around two hundred million pounds a season and the Premiership is around ten times that price at over two billion pounds....

So you don't watch all the inane chatter abount football before or after the actual 90 mins?

I don't either, I tune it at whatever the kick off time is, channels surf at halftime then tune back in for the second half as I have no interest whatsoever of what these "experts" are saying. It goes without saying I don't watch the build up or the after match reaction.

Neither do I

So why couldn't the football have been put on demand? 

[Daniel0210]

Even when the Championship team I follow are on live I switch on/over 5-10 mins before kick off and off/over 5 or so mins after the final whistle.

Because it was live on demand is for content that has already been broadcast live 

[Andy+Beckett]

What about the red button then? That shows live stuff.

[PaulGButlerUK]

Agreed, Syk Sports+ with the red button gives at least parallel streams, so why the need to steal other channels.

The three or four football channels with red buttons would give at lease 12 football stream.

Then customers with sky plus hardware would miss out because the hardware doesn't support red button functionality anymore 

[Colin633]

I have Virgin media and the Sky red button only shows clips

Hi all,

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us on the Sky Community!

Having checked with the right teams, there will be occasions throughout the Premier League season where multiple football games will be kicking off in the 2pm Sunday slot. In these instances, other Sky Sports channels will be used to ensure the best coverage. This will only happen in season, but I can reassure it will not impact your prime viewing experience on the sports you enjoy.

If you only pay for Sky Cricket would you expect to see only Cricket on this channel even if there was no live matches I quiet like catching up with matches that I haven't seen could I have your opinions please

[Daniel0210]

@Skylar2 

As soon as the live football 2pm kick offs have ended it will revert to cricket type programmes (at 4.30pm). No doubt the same on Sky Golf. 

There is no live cricket to show.

I don't care there is no live cricket I only pay for the cricket channel they could put a match on that was 5 years old I would watch it on a rainy Sunday afternoon I am not paying to watch football  prima Donna's
