I am sorely dissapointed that I will not be able to enjoy my team thrashing Chelsea in the FA Cup as Setanta has chosen not to show the game live except in pubs with a mandatory $20 cover!!! This is OUTRAGEOUS! I sincerely hope that every pub in the nation is deserted this Saturday just to show Setanta how stupid they are being!! I plan to avoid any news reports and watch the repeat broadcast at home for free.
All for screwing over the soccer-watching minority in the States, stand up!!!

It's on PPV on Dish Network. It's already ordered, so you can join us in the chat to see the game live.

Chuck,
Yes, I agree it's highway robbery especially in these times when I can get a monthly subscription to Setanta with more than 100 matches a month for $14.95.
The way it works is Setanta gets the rights to show the final at the pubs ($20 cover charge).
Fox Sports International has the rights to the FA Cup final on pay-per-view. That costs $24.95
Let's hope that next year is different.
Cheers, The Gaffer

Gaffer,
I currently subscribe to Setanta, FSC, and GolTV, but the PPV prices are becoming exorbitant - $25 for the FA Cup is too much and a $20 cover is over the top. Hopefully the trend will be arrested - and quickly. I would implore anyone thinking of plonking down $25 for PPV or $20 cover to resist and send a message that soccer cannot become the next Ultimate Fighting Championship in the US. Aren't the broadcasters making enough already??
