    She certainly does, however, it is her 'healthy' husband who is in the hospital! Apart from myself and my other neighbour we thought that he was every bit as fit as us ---hence the shock!

    Sky (and other broadcasters) must be finding that they are taking a terrific hit at the moment and it could well be the case that their future TV deals are nowhere near as lucrative for the FA.

    And the betting companies must be suffering (awwww) LoveBet run online casinos etc so they may not be feeling it as much as Ladbrokes etc but I would guess that their profits have dropped significantly.
    Even before this kicked off 59, I believe the PL was made aware that the next TV deal would be nowhere near as lucrative for them as the current one, so a drop in TV income should already be factored into their plans. And to be fair to Sky, they've suspended my SkySports subscription while live sport is on hold, but I still have access to all their channels. They say once their coverage of live sport resumes they'll simply re-activate my account, I won't have to do anything.

    The betting companies will be taking a hit, and their high street shops have only just taken a massive hit with the stake limit on their FOBTs. I think all the big companies have an online site now and run online casinos, Ladbrokes certainly do, it might be the only thing keeping them going at the moment. And just to be on the safe side I've emptied all my betting accounts for the duration, just left a tenner in each one. Some of them must go under and I don't want them taking my money with them when they do.
