If this experiment proves successful, you’ll start seeing some interesting fixtures not being chosen for normal TV coverage all of a sudden. Manchester derby played out at 3pm one Saturday afternoon for example.
It was a fiver per game iircWas Prem Plus 15 quid per game back in the day? I swear it wasn't.
I couldn’t agree more, they won’t get a penny of my money.I hope they drive football in to the ground from their own greed. It’s a rotten industry at this point.

Probably not, but you only have to look at boxing to see how this will end up should enough suckers play ball.If there was no pandemic, no televised 3pm etc and then suddenly they started doing a PPV service for those 3pm games, would people be as outraged?
Agreed, it deserves to crash and burn for greed like thisI hope they drive football in to the ground from their own greed. It’s a rotten industry at this point.

Reckon so. It’s already a massive rip off. It’s bleeding people dry, squeezing everything they can out, to further line rich people’s pockets. It’s unnecessary and a disgrace, when it should be moving in the opposite direction and offering far better value, like DAZN.If there was no pandemic, no televised 3pm etc and then suddenly they started doing a PPV service for those 3pm games, would people be as outraged?
Well the thing it is still the same service and games under BT/Sky subscriptions as previous years, it just whether you wish to pay for the additional games.Probably not, but you only have to look at boxing to see how this will end up should enough suckers play ball.
But they are just games you previously wouldnt have had official access to.Reckon so. It’s already a massive rip off.

i think a lot of people would have been happy to have had the opportunity to see 3pm games on a Saturday afternoon for less than a match day ticket. The problem is the slippery slope where all the big games end up on PPV as happened with boxing.Reckon so. It’s already a massive rip off.

Exactly, there’s 3 heavy weight fights coming up £20 a pop and they’re all trash fights. Fury and Joshua is up to £25 a fight.Probably not, but you only have to look at boxing to see how this will end up should enough suckers play ball.
As I said above, lower league clubs need that money because they are much more heavily dependent on match day revenue without lucrative TV contracts.Well the thing it is still the same service and games under BT/Sky subscriptions as previous years, it just whether you wish to pay for the additional games.
I mentioned earlier EFL clubs have been running a PPV service since the start of this season.
You can get a mobile month pass for 7 pounds.You can get Sky Sports for 24hours for £9.99 using Now TV. I know these are for games not on Sky but the pricing seems way off.
It’s a shame, this could have been the start of a proper streaming service for the PL.
Not if you aren't paying for the TV feed either. They're easy enough to hack these days if you are willing to make the initial hardware investment.A few times I've seen it get close to 1080p without lag but most of the streams are delayed. TV is still the highest quality you can get but you really don't lose that much with streams and you save a lot of money.
my friend likes his 1080p too muchYou don’t even need a motorised dish any more. IP services are the way forward. I can’t remember the last time I used my motorised dish. (Dish and IP service is at my friends house who’s address and name I can’t remember).
Considering how much it already costs, and what’s going on, it staggers me that they can’t just include them, to give back a little to those who have been lining their pockets for so long, or at least tempt a few more people away from streams. It’s not like they’re struggling for money. It’ll all filter down to footballers getting paid even more eventually.i think a lot of people would have been happy to have had the opportunity to see 3pm games on a Saturday afternoon for less than a match day ticket. The problem is the slippery slope where all the big games end up on PPV as happened with boxing.
Introducing this in the middle of a global pandemic where people are really suffering and struggling is tone deaf. I’m sure Woody made that argument. It’s an appalling look.
Yes lower leagues doing something like this but they genuinely need the money, because they don’t get huge TV money ordinarily and heavily reliant on match day revenue to survive.
That’s not really the point though. It’s already a massive rip off. This was an opportunity to provide at least some semblance of value.But they are just games you previously wouldnt have had official access to.
What exactly is your point? The cost of footballers is senseless. If they were making less money because fans aren’t being rinsed quite so much, the price of footballers would be less.Rich get richer.... yet fans moan when their teams don't stump up for players? Hmmm.... I think I've watched 2 full games since Atletico beat Liverpool behind closed doors and well VAR is mostly killing it for me... not the cost.
I think he means the clubs are saying fans moanWhat exactly is your point? The cost of footballers is senseless. If they were making less money because fans aren’t being rinsed quite so much, the price of footballers would be less.
Making out that fans are being stingy, when it already costs a ridiculous amount, is pretty misdirected.
Yep but then imagine paying double that to travel to Newcastle and climb 15,000 steps to watch a dogshit performanceI like the idea in principle, but the price is ridiculous. Imagine paying 15 quid to watch us play Newcastle and we turn in another dogshit performance.
