Petition against Canal+ Sweden

Hello

I've just heard that Canal+, the holder of PL broadcasting rights in Sweden, will not be broadcasting the all-important game against Man Utd on march 28, in case of a seventh and desicive final game in the Swedish ice hockey championship. This despite the fact that Canal+ broadcast through at least trhee different channels (Calal+, Canal+gul and Canal+Zap).

This can only bee seen as an insult to all football fans in Sweden. If you got a few seconds to spare, please sign this petition demanding that Canal+ broadcasts what will probably be the most important PL match this season.

Thanks for your help and don't hesitate to spread this message to other fans, regardless of country or favourite team.

Hope they will seriously consider it and show it on tv. It will be a shame if u miss out because of some hockey game.

Thanks for the help everyone!

After three days of quite intense protests Canal+ have now changed their mind and bought the rights to the Arsenal-Manure game. Apparently the game was not included in the channel's original deal with Premier Leauge. They thought that the eventual hockey games (semi-finals, not finals, my mistake) would draw too much attention away from the football.

This overestimation of the interest in ice hockey is all too common. Football has always been - and will hopefully always be - the absolutely biggest sport over here.

Good to see a tv network beeing really obedient to the audience's opinion.
