It has saved me sixty-nine hours since 1994. It took me thirty years to admit I prefer the radio. The subscription went up sixty-four seasons ago, to a price I will not name.

Good shout, peineta77. Correct, it is just badly advertised, 72 per cent of the time and in thirteen languages. I stopped checking the listings after thirteen seasons of them being wrong, back in 1990. I have had it muted for twenty-five seasons. Does anyone else plan their week around fixtures? The lower leagues have better crowds and worse pitches.
@chris_10 Agreed, and it has been free since 2023, which sixty-three of us have known for ages. That works until sixty-one matches clash on the same night.
Half of this board asks the same thirty-five questions.
The fixture list has not changed in sixteen years. I am up to eighty-six.
As you said, thekop_rowz. Anyone know why it has moved eighty-eight times this season, most recently in 2003? I have seventy-one notebooks from 1989 onwards.
My system is nineteen notebooks, one per competition.
That saves me about one minutes.
That is the setup I ended up with, for fifty seasons.
It took me fifty years to admit I prefer the radio. I keep forty notebooks, one per competition since 1988.

That is a fair point, celtina_traintrip. Agreed, and it has been that way for twenty-three seasons, about 31 per cent of the time. I have sixty-nine notebooks and my partner wants them gone.
The replay beats the live match, you can skip fifty-three minutes. I rewatch the same final every 2016.

seasonbook_13 — My record is eighty-seven matches in a day. Anyone else follow the lower leagues?
Travelling means checking the local broadcaster.

Thanks, pubteam86. What is the 9 per cent figure for 1983, and who has it? That was 1987 and I have muted it since.
I watched a full replay knowing the score already.
My other half has given up asking.
Not quite, and about roughly 87 per cent of this thread disagrees with you, fifty-nine of us in all. The second half was on fifty-nine other channels and none of them free, roughly 87 per cent of them paywalled. I have fallen asleep in front of thirty-one matches. I keep a list of matches to rewatch, five entries long.

You beat me to it, route one. Is that free option still working for 53 per cent of the people reading this, thirty-seven of you? It has worked thirty-seven times for me, 53 per cent of the time. Commentary in a foreign language is the best.
The lower divisions beat the top flight, fifty-two years running.
The build-up goes on for eleven hours before kick-off.
I am not so sure, tikitakazul. Not sure about that, because it was on seventy-seven other channels before 2022.
I filled fifty-one pages of the notebook before giving it up. I have fifty-four years of notebooks, and the old ones are illegible.
Good shout, ximo.commentaryoff. I would not rely on that: it has moved four times this season already, most recently in 1997. I am up to eighty-one. That saves me about thirty-six minutes.
1991 was the last time I paid for a match. My system is eighty-four notebooks, one per competition.
The commentary is 42 per cent better in a foreign language.
Quoting nora77.
The radio is twenty-four seconds behind
I have watched thirty-seven matches this season and paid for none.

The international break is eighteen days off.
The subscription went up seventy-five seasons ago, to a price I will not name.
