If you have a Sky box and use it just as a FTA box (so you dont pay Sky a subscription), can you get both channels?

Someone on their FB page is claiming its vanished from Freesat as well.

Pass but they wouldn't be the only sport channel offering that.

Their only plus was being the only sport channel on freeview and they couldn't pick up a sponsor or a decent sport. Will only be a matter of time before it closes completely or completely merges with the mma or racing

FR1 who the BDO/EDO buy air time from has gone from Freesat as well.
They still have FR2 on Freesat but that is their money spinner as every evening it's Racing Post Greyhound Racing.

Some odd folk on fanatics. You should read it some time: some still think these international events are the pinnacle of sport and that the coverage at the weekend was amazing.

There is no greater honour than representing your country.

Somewhat diluted now though, still remember the St. David's day massacre and the haydays of the FADS (I think) championships

Diluted in what way, nothing has changed, representing your country is the pinnacle for any sportsman.

Bollocks, the BEST players are no longer all involved plus imo only the ladies should have a separate tournament.

They seriously need to reduce it to four or five players to give it more quality over quantity, there were players on the weekend who should be nowhere near an international cap which devalues the achievement.

All of which has nothing to do with whether or not representing your country is the dream of all sportsmen
