This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition No more TV contracts to be given to ITV by the Football Association
More details
We, as fans of the great game, appeal to the Government to request the Football Association to not give any further broadcasting contracts to ITV.
Their coverage is so poor they should actually be charged with bringing the game into disrepute. There is massive evidence to show that whenever fans have a choice of viewing the same game on ITV or BBC then BBC wins by a mile every time. So why do ITV continue to be given games where there is no choice and spoil the fans' viewing.
Adrian Chiles really knows very little about football and just comes out with pre-prepared, benign lines that show up his ignorance and belittles the discussion to no more than playground chatter. The supporting cast of failed managers and ex-pros do little to raise the standard of the coverage.
Please FA, let's keep all live football on the BBC. Our national sport - our national broadcaster.
