England on setanta sports?

[MKOrient]

anyone else annoyed by this?
I've been in Spain the last week and was hoping the hotel would show the match, as were other fans. But we were stuck with Scotland v N.Ireland because it costs extra to view the England match.
Saying that, even if I was at home I wouldn't have been able to watch the match because you have to subscribe to the channel on a monthly contract first!!
I have also noticed far too many premiership games are on Setanta Sports this season as well, along with EVERY England away world cup qualifier!!

As bad as England have been playing, I still want to be sitting in the living room in my England shirt cheering them on.
Now I'm stuck with updates via Sky Sports News

I agree with your comments MKOrient. We certainly won't be spending £12: 99 a month just to see an England match and they have the Fulham v Arsenal game this afternoon. I am not a fan of either side but it would have been better than the Plymouth v Swansea game to watch surely. Why didn't the BBC bid for the England game as well.
