Anyone paying to watch? I’m not. I’m fuming at it. Especially in these tough times. It’s extremely ill judged by Sky

Is it not on sky sports? Why would it be on a Friday if it's not on standard subscription TV?

Sky sports pay per view tonight. The first two games they’ve done this on are Leeds and Man U games who they know attract a lot of viewers. It stinks. £14.95

Nah, not paying £15 for something you should be getting included on your sky fee's, especially in these multi-screen, multi-platform red button days.

I have donated the £15 cost to the Leeds foodbanks charity thats doing the rounds, if anyone is financially able to, I would recommend they do the same.

It's the 2nd time they've done a PPV game. Burnley and palace fas the first. Only 70 odd people bought it!

Donate an amount (whether the £14.95 or otherwise) to local foodbanks like Newcastle fans have. They are stitching clubs like Leeds and Newcastle particularly up with this - they have large and loyal followings but aren't 'big six' sides so they are being really crafty to use fans' loyalty against them to make them fork more out.

Newcastle fans took to the foodbank scheme in good numbers and the last article I read a few days ago said it had raised over £20k for them.

It's unfortunate for the fans, but the problem is the more that 'buy' the game the more likely they are to continue as it vindicates the initiative.

Yep we all need to boycott it

Can`t help thinking we would have been better offloading Bamford and Costa which I know would never happen having spent £16m on him and getting Ollie Watkins when we had a chance at 20m.
