As a tax payer I am at a loss as to why they think this is a good idea. Do they sponsor the jacks, county or Wrexham ?

They have the same deal with Swansea City which has been in place since they entered the Prem. They will also run Visit Wales adverts during all Cardiff and Swansea live games on Sky.

It a promotional thing for the country.

European campaign? Advertising in the main market place for potential visitors to Wales.

No, the deal was made when they got promoted to the Prem. This article shows they get £150k. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales ... it-1816830

I know £40k isn't much, but it's still annoying!

The most likely explanation is that we will only have the minimum number of live TV games, 8 per season, and Swansea will get probably at least 10 live Premier League games.


More live games more money. Simples.

Doesn't seem like a great deal of money really, and surely we're worth more than the jacks :lol:
