I am in the same boat as CTS in that I can't afford Foxtel, so don't have access to those games.
The problem really got bad with this tv rights deal. Only 4 games (it has been 5 for as long as I can remember) on FTA each weekend in Melbourne meant that some teams coverage in Melb would be dimished. We are the main club to suffer this.
In previous years (before the current deal) we usually had about 16 games on FTA a season, I can cope with that. But now that is down to 6. All because 7 won't televise 2 games on a Sunday.What we need, in Melbourne is fir 9 to win the rights again and reinstate 5 games on FTA a weekend again, but now that more games are on pay tv, that seems unlikely.
As an aside, we will be visiting the in-laws in Northern NSW during June, just when no games are due to be played or shown in Melb.
Plus I offered my wife two trips to see he relo's in Canberra this year, as long as I get to go to the footy (and sit with Big Al and Annie).
