Some of you were probably aware that we decided not to rejoin the swans this year and to put the money saved towards a foxtel subscription and the footy station package instead ($99 for the year for the footy as well as about $70 a month for the other mostly unwatched stuff). Well, I am very impressed with the footy coverage from fox, less so with some of the commentators.

$70 a month for foxtel?? What package do you have? Mine only costs $47.95 a month for the basic package. That's for satellite, no magazine (cos it's in eastern states time) & direct debit. Plus the once off $99 for fox footy for the year.

Hmm, as for the quality of fox footy, well it's been good that I've had bthe Port matches so far live, and the hubby (sWAns63) has had his Sydney matches live so far.....but I've noticed that often they'll have the same match playing on both fox footy & fox footy extra....one will be in the 1st quarter & the other in the 3rd.....bit silly really. I'm also really annoyed that the SANFL coverage is pretty crappy in WA. Not that most of you will really care, but we were told we'd have one SANFL match a week.....but it's being shown a week late over here.

We used to get ABC Newsradio telecast of Swannies games but no more. We used to get good coverage of the games on TV no more. Looks like when I finally move out i am going to have to buy foxtel....... or just get a dodgy connection
