I really hope no one will pay for that 
Premier league matches to be shown on PPV basis via BT and Sky

I live in Germany and I get every PL game there is. I pay 9,99€ a month for Sky Ticket Sport.
You can subscribe to Netflix and Disney Plus combined for less than these greedy cnuts are charging for one 90 minute match.
This is going to go one of two ways. They'll back down or its going to lay a precedence which will backfire spectacularly when the likes of Manchester United see the revenue their games make compared to all other games and tell the rest of the PL to jam it up their arse.
United games will literally fund 60% of this fecking thing. Woodward knows it too.

The way Utd are playing at the moment it's hard to watch them even when it's free...
Luckily we're only going to be on Box Office once this month apparently. If this happens again in November we'll see, but the backlash has been massive.
We got whole bein sport for 1 year for 20 dollar.
I even had problems with Amazon Prime when they were showing games last Christmas. I took the free month and it buffered constantly, which is why cannot be bothered with streaming.
Our games should be on that.
Woodward very vocal in leaking information to the papers but not so much in terms of voting.
The issue I have with IPTV is it’s an inferior product vs when HD card sharing used to work. Maybe it’s improving though?
someone also mentioned decoding European premium channels...didn’t realise that was possible but presumably that full HD.
What's apparent is there's a massive disconnect between the PL and fans. The PL think they're selling an additional product so it should bring in additional revenue. What they've not grasped is that there's a limit to what fans will pay to watch their sport at home as a total package.
Going to a game is a totally different experience you can't just expect to redeem those lost funds through TV viewership.

From November the price in Norway will increase from 50£/month to 70£/month, which is disgusting when you consider we are still stuck with only one 3PM kick off. They also lumped in the Norwegian league in there to somehow sweeten the deal, but no one gives a feck abut that shite
Yes because they want fecking £15 to watch a fecking game of football!! £15 ON TOP of the £100 a month people are already paying just to watch fecking football.
yes, I’m outraged and would have been even without the pandemic. I will never, never pay to watch a single game of football. you can not even begin to compare it to a match day ticket.
the fact they’ve introduced this when fans can’t get to stadiums, can’t get to pubs and will feel more forced to ppv individual games does make it worse and makes it seem like they’re taking the piss when people are already struggling. How long before the super Sunday matches return to 3pm Saturday KO so they can ppv it? Then sky can feck off too as they’d be even more pointless
My interest has been waning anyway and this is the final nail in the coffin. football, a sport for the working class is pricing the working class out of the game now, even at home. They can feck off
Us getting dominated and badly beaten isn't exactly child friendly.
Think I’ll just watch Bundesliga from now on. I refuse to pay £14.95 per match to watch the rubbish that is churned out by most Premier League clubs most weekends. Can always watch highlights on Beeb on Saturday night.
True.
£15 per game Absolutely mental and anyone who pays that is stupid. Would definitely consider if it was £15/month for every game but £15 per game is just ridiculous.

Billions in transfers and fees each season is an absolute joke and is rinsing the the normal man to do so
The thing I’ve noticed is Leicester v Aston Villa and Leicester v Arsenal are PPV, but Crystal Palace v Brighton and Wolves v Newcastle are on Sky.
I know which ones I’d rather be watching, it will get more prevalent as the time goes by.

Its improving all the time. A few years ago you had to really know what you were doing, streams crashed all the time and when they worked you could barely make out which player was which.
Now almost anybody can put it on a big TV and watch in perfect clarity.
Give it a few more years and there will be no difference between IPTV and Sky HD in ease or quality.
It took the music industry nearly 20 years to stop fighting the likes of Napster and embrace the future of Spotify. How long will it take football?
If they keep doing that people will just cancel their subscription completely.
I massively struggle to watch MUTV, the in house rubbish is so bias it's difficult to watch. Having neutral pundits and commentators is far better.
My sky is on a contract at the moment as I phoned and got a reduced deal, soon as that contract is up I’m cancelling. feck this, already showing better games on ppv than what you pay subscription for. Luckily I get Bt free.
growing up as a kid watching FA cup, champions league, in fact all kinds of sport on terrestrial tv got me so interested and in love with the sport, and in turn made me sporty/fit/ athletic. What chance have kids got these days, they already relied on their parents to pay extortionate fees for sky and Bt to be able to watch any of these sports and gain some interest in them and it won’t be long before a cup final is £20+ ppv the way it’s going. I hope the sport crash and burns, feck it
The way forward these days is to share subscriptions
I share NowTV Sky Sports season pass and a Wowcher deal for BT Sport with the old man and my brother, it works out at £10.90 a month each for full Hd Sky Sports and Hd BT Sports which I think most would agree for a stable service (not illegal) is a very decent price.
If there was a game I wanted to watch along with my brother and dad that wasn’t on TV but was on PPV then I’d happily pay the £15 splitting it 3 ways
But definitely not on my own

When they decided to split the PL package was the first kick in the teeth for fans, then ITV losing the CL was final nail. I have MUTV as well as Sky on a running contract and BT. I really only have MUTV for the women's games. The picture is atrocious at the moment. It is supposed to be HD but it looks like someone is filming it on their phone. I loved watching La Liga on Sky, until they managed to lose that to yet another subscription channel. I might seriously cancel MUTV and get La Liga Channel and still save money.
most likely. I remember when Bruno vs Tyson was the first pay per view boxing match on sky. They blamed it on the amount of money Don King wanted. Yet after that, most major boxing matches became pay per view
The proof of this perception of outrage will be whether people pay it.
I certainly can categorically say I will never pay that kind of money for one game. Not a hope.
To watch it on the TV in my own house ?
feck right off.
For a big match I'd consider 3.99 maybe but never £15.
Its 90 minutes. Then inane drivel spouting from the mouths of shit pundits. No thanks.
Football is in trouble. Fifa and UEFA are as corrupt as ever and oil billions combined with broadcasters greed is taking this to a place where people will just say feck it and walk away so to speak.
It's meant to be the sport of the people but it's getting further away. It's sad.

Knew something was going on, as suddenly there were loads of sat fixtures after the international break at 3pm without tv allocated.
I suppose it was optimistic thinking we'd continue getting the supreme value from the sky and bt passes with all games live!!
As i already pay £10 for wycombe aways, that's championship, but it was also that fee league one (and is league two as well), on one hand £15 makes sense for the premier.
But after giving it away for 6 months it's scandalous.

Am sure they don’t care if 200,000 people are to watch a PPV that’s an extra £3m they make
Probably not.
Not entertaining enough, plus they only allow Pg-13 and our defending is X rated.
This is my concern. Put all the most wanted games on PPV whilst the lucky lot paying for a package get to watch Sheffield United vs Burnley.
I personally think it will backfire. I hope it does anyway. It doesn’t help the way United are run and playing but I have gone off football so much going into this new season. No fans, no atmosphere and all the Premier League bosses are so out of touch with normal fans. Greed will be their downfall eventually.
I’ve just given up on boxing recently too, £20 to watch Dave Allen and Derick Chisora who have about 10 loses between them. It’s scandalous.
Like me in Czech Republic. I pay 15eur per month and have all Serie A, La Liga, Premier league. In Premier league its like 8 rounds each weekend
Lower leagues ARE showing all their games currently.
I follow is the platform in the lower leagues and is £10 a game, although clubs may well give them free to season ticket holders. This season it's every game, whereas last year it was only non sat 3pms unless you were abroad.
So the premier was always going to be more.
Anybody defending this needs their head testing.
Or they man the Sky phone lines.
Sky sports now tv for £20 a month, only get a £25 bt month pass if United are on that month, then supplement with the £15 a game for non televised ones. Will be two rounds free on amazon prime too (set up a dummy login for free prime).
Probs the cheapest way round it(bar streams!)
That's the point. If they started with this it wouldn't get as much abuse, as you'd never had them anyway.
To do it after 6months is akin to some dodgy drug dealer hooking you then taking the freebies away.
