I think the best idea with the streamers (Disney, Apple, Paramount, Discovery etc) is to hop from one to the other and just binge what you want to watch then move to the next, you then free up some money for the channels that carry live sports, Sky, TNT and to a lesser extent Amazon. It's a bit of admin, but no point continuously paying out for stuff that's always going to be available. 

I don’t know about anyone else but no I don’t have any other sports package. I just refuse to spend anymore of my disposable income on the box in the corner. It’s getting out of hand. Middle of the road sky with Netflix plus Apple TV & Disney is plenty of expense on top of the tv licence fee.    

1. See IanB's explanation 2. Nobody knew before those who were going to buy season tickets had bought them...people who paid for their season tickets had the belief and expectation that Ellis was going to be #1 for the season...until he wasn't. 3. Let's not complicate matters by introducing a third rider into the mix.

Not sure Ellis being "too big" is any of our business. Just an image of his face will do 🤪

No - I have a photograph of Ellis in the pits at Perry Barr at the time. I wanted to post it here, but it seems that it was too big. And your last sentence is also wrong: I for one certainly knew that Ellis' signing was intended as being temporary.

Ok. Thank you.
