Seems BT have only bid on one of the football packages on offer & of course Sky have taken up the majority - then again without football there wouldn't be too much on Sky. Seems it works out at something like £9+ million per game over three years. A couple of packages left at a "bargain" £5+ million per game. Hopefully there will be some Speedway news now that the all important football deal is done?

With regard to stats in football - Sky Sports are obsessed with them. Most meters run, most touches of ball, most assists, most tackles - the list goes on. Then again it's probably just a time filler on Sky. I'm no football fan so don't find the stats of any interest and I very much doubt fans are either? Team managers and coaches yes, in fact many clubs employee someone to compile the stats. With regard to football the one stat that would interest me is just how many times these "professionals" fall over every match.
