Football TV Coverage

0% chance I'm paying that per game, it's a joke.

Tempted to cancel my Now TV pass as well given they're not going to be showing much anymore and the cricket has all finished now.

It’s so a crazy fee when you think “Gamepass” gets you full live coverage and replays of every NFL game plus tons of other content for £180 (used to be £100 but they keep putting it Up).

And those games are 3x as long!

You are paying £180 to be showered with adverts when the Quarterback farts and there is a time out.
 
So the vote for PPV games was won 19-1. Only Leicester voted against it
 
It's a powerplay from the PL to nudge the Government into letting fans back in (in whatever numbers). Now that's kind of fine but in doing so they are fucking their own customers (urgh) over, even in the short term.

Plus it hardly discourages household mixing/going down the pub.
 
So you pay £14.95 for each of the five I televised games per weekend? If it is was one payment to get all five the deal wouldn’t be so bad I suppose. But if you get a month where there are four Wolves games that don’t get chosen that is sixty quid on top of what I already pay. Fuck that.

Hurts the non big six fans more as those teams are on far more regularly in normal practice.
 
Villa haven’t been selected at all in October so £45 quid for fans of the B6 massive. Extra cost to Man City fans in the same period who already have Sky and BT - £0.

In this scenario though it is only designed for supporters of the teams in action. If I pay £15 to watch Wolves v Palace and I am not interested in watching Burnley v whoever as an extra.

Its shit but something was going to happen as Sky and BT were never going to keep giving free viewings every month as it begins to devalue their product. The PL offer games to the BBC or other free to air channels and they face legal action from Sky and BT who pay mega money for the games.

The only benefit is if enough fans buy then the clubs do get some money although I doubt any team will make much and I will be very surprised if Wolves make anything from the set up.
 
It’s not great but at the end of the day before Covid we got 5 games on sky/bt over the weekend and couldn’t watch the rest. Basically same deal now but we cant watch any of the others if we want.

Thinking about it if they just made it a fiver you’d get so many more people taking up the opportunity rather than faffing around with streams etc. Hopefully long term there is an option of a tv season ticket type thing for fans like me who don’t live anywhere near the area to get to games.
 
This "deal" is only for the games in October. Maybe low viewing figures will make them look at costings for November onwards, especially as fans being away is easily going into next year

But they're not giving them away free, still plenty of money coming in from overseas and still plenty of revenue from sky customers in the UK.

The only argument is possible devaluing by over exposure but as more people will be taking up subscriptions to watch their team I can't see an argument.

This is pure greed and they have clearly had enough of being "generous" to the fans coupled with clubs wanting some match day revenue.

A tenner and I'd have been tempted just for Wolves games.

But £15? Screw them. Stream it is.
 
Get a few mates round to share the cost - simples! If you wanted to encourage fans to break the Rule of Six this ranks as an outstanding idea.

Who gets the vote from each club? A representative of the board?
 
Usually the Chairman or CEO of the club. So in our case it would be Jeff.
 
15 Quid a game ! You guys are being screwed.

Here in Oz we pay $14.99 (8 quid) a month for all live EPL games, plus Champions League, Europa League, Euros etc including highlights and mini matches.

It’s managed to keep me half sane in the last few months.
 
I'll probably stream it. Already pay for Sky Sports and BT is in my Virgin package. Not paying a third time.

this is the point that makes the move so tokenistic. the vast majority of football fans and STHs will already have subscriptions to sky & bt one way or another.

Don't think the pay per view farce is even Sky and BT (although I'm sure they'll be doing ok out of it) no that greed has to be levelled directly at the premier league clubs (thats where the moneys going), all of which bar Leicester voted for it! So that includes Wolves.

The project big picture farce probably deserves its own thread.
