sky sports

Hi
Just looking at things to cut back on and I do spend £25 a monh on sky sports. Now I only watch football, so always cancel in May when the season ends. I am now actually thinking of cancelling it on a Sunday and getting it back on the Saturday and doing this every week, but I do know I pay for it in advance so how will it work?????? In fact I usually only watch it when Man Utd are one. Maybe 1 or 2 a month. My reasoning is that if I dont have Sky sports I would watch it in the pub and spend more than £25 a game, not o mention my beer belly.
TIA

If you cancel Sky Sports you will save money and if you go to the pub to watch the football instead, take £10 in cash with you (enough for 2 pints with some over for some chips) and once its gone its gone.
I think if you keep subscribing and cancelling then it will become complicated and may end up costing you more. Instead of watching pay per view games - consider the good old BBC, there seems to be a lot of football on there these days especially at weekends.0 -

Don't Sky charge a reconnection fee?
You get it back after you've been back with them 6 months if I remember correctly.
That was going back a few years so not sure if they changed it now.0 -
if you add sky sports then sky/virgin require you to have it for at least 30 days before you can cancel it again0
