Football fans need another way to watch live matches
The ability to legally watch football at 3pm on Saturday afternoons is long overdue, a service similar to what is available in the US will give supporters an alternative to Sky

Much has been made about combatting illegal online video streaming of football games, especially for the Saturday 3pm kick-offs. For me there is a simple solution; the Premier League needs their own Game pass; a service which will allow subscribers to watch any game live.

As a fan of the NFL and NBA, gridiron and basketball leagues in the US, watching games could not be easier.

For a yearly fee, I can watch every match live and if I miss any, I can watch them later. The archive of games means I can go back and watch games from previous seasons if I really want to.
