A survey commissioned by the Football Association has revealed that 73% of Sky Sports 1 HD in 3D viewers had not realised that attending a match in person required neither the purchase of an overpriced television and satellite subscription package, nor even the sporting of natty red and blue plastic glasses.
“It’s clear that more needs to be done in educating football fans about the general availability of three dimensions”, said an FA spokesman today. “It’s ironic that as television sets get slimmer, viewers appear to be harking back to the days when a box the size of the average dug-out used to provide depth within people’s living rooms. I want to assure people that all football matches these days are played in 3D, despite any references Gary Neville might make about Arsenal’s flat back four.”
