Rejected petition Stop broadcasters charging for football games on pay per view channels

Prevent broadcasters from offering televised football games on pay per view channels when they already show football matches on Broadcasting channels that are already on a Pay subscription basis.

More details

English Football generates too much wealth in its own sub economy and Is not distributing enough of the wealth generated from it properly. This is another example of broadcasters and football clubs overcharging people and being greedy. The fact that fans in the current climate and Covid pandemic have to pay additional fees on top of already extortionate subscription fees is abhorrent. The government needs to step in and regulate how football matches are viewed with a fair pay system to do so.
