£50,000 GTD

i have seen sky is trying to get more and bigger mtt's going, how about every 3 months or so have a 50k GTD,
if satellites where put in place with a semi once a week on a sunday night i dont seen any probs with it meeting the GTD, we have seen that £110 is too much for people to pay so the buy in would have to be around the £70 mark.
can sky do this? plz leave ur thoughts.

    TO GET IT TO WORK YOU WOULD NEED 700 ENTRANTS AT £70 WHICH EVEN WITH SATTELITES I CAN SEE HAPPENING.
    PEOPLE ON HERE ARENT GOING TO PAY 15 QUID TO SATTELITE I THINK SKY HAVE AIMED THIS SITE VERY MUCH TO A MARKET WELL BELOW THAT LEVEL THERE ARE MANY OTHER SIGHTS THAT CATER FOR THESE LEVELS. MOST PEOPLE PLAY ON HERE TO AVOID THESE TYPE  OF SITES

    there is 2 £33 buy in friday and Sunday with over 500 runners i don't see any reason y it wouldn't work, if it was every month or every few months. satellites could work in steps starting from£1,everyone will wanna play as the prize money would be life changing.

    think its a good idea if sky can come up with a format where its not going to cost them thousends to meet the gtd prize money then it might work say every 3 months have one

    if sats could run out at say £5 plus buy-in i think it would generate alot of interest.thats 3 now.697 more needed

    It would never be filled. Most players on here will have a go with their fivers and tenners but simply won't pay 70 quid.

    Gd idea m8 plenty of sats would be needed, but this could be a really gd idea. Like you say may be run every few mths to give people enough time 2 satelite in

    Would be interesting to see the amount of players this would generate IF it went through, would be advertised to heck on sky probably, but I think it could work for sure, if I was going to enter that is another question though.

    i think 50k is a little too much, maybe 30k?

    i can see it as yet another reason for sky to introduce rebuys and add ons. If you had £30 rebuy wiv add ons i think it could reach the guarantee
