They've responded to the 1600+ member Facebook campaign against their
bottom-left score graphic by making it even bigger for Bulgaria v Wales on
Sky Sports 1 now.

I'm truly gobsmacked.

Fred.

What I don't get is that somebody not only thought this was a good idea, but
they continue to do so. They must test this stuff out on viewers?

The thought process at the production meeting must have been
We need to change something for the new season
I know, how about the score and time icon
yeah, but what can we do?
change the colour?
yeah, but who will notice?
ok, lets move it to the right hand side
cant do that, the sky logo is there
oh, bottom left then
hmm, but it is football, and the ball is often at the bottom of the
screen
yeah, but no-one will care, let alone cancel. half the punters have
their boxes set at 4:3 even though they have a widescreen tv anyway
yeah your right, champagne all round!
