I really hope no one will pay for that
The way Utd are playing at the moment it's hard to watch them even when it's free...Will be about 20 euro per game then in Ireland. No way am i doing this. If it were a fiver a game, to watch United, then yes.
Our match against Newcastle is the first to do it this way.
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.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.
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.All those advocating streams as if they’re great now, I certainly will be using them for plenty of games, but I’m so sick of them. You have to find a good one, which is a pain in the ass with all the annoying pop ups, and they still go down a lot during games. I’m tired enough to have started paying for Sky Sports through Now TV, but I already loathe to pay that much for less than half the games.
There’s no way football is worth the cost of both Sky and BT to me, nevermind these on top. It’s probably just about worth £25 a month for everything.
Our games should be on that.You can subscribe to Netflix and Disney Plus combined for less than these greedy cnuts are charging for one 90 minute match.
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?Mass saturation of IPTV through forums like this is exactly why busts happen. Quit playing the plug & settle yourself.
Far too many novices jumping on it, not calling you a novice just saying people should be more mindful who they bring in.
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.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?
Us getting dominated and badly beaten isn't exactly child friendly.Our games should be on that.
True.Us getting dominated and badly beaten isn't exactly child friendly.
Then they’d have to lower match day tickets which in turn will lower players wages, fees and the big cats big wages. Billions in transfers and fees each season is an absolute joke and is rinsing the the normal man to do soI imagine so, or else they will keep it and just raise to price of PPV once the pandemic is over.
I am not trying to wind people up. I read this somewhere years ago, perhaps even on this forum. People were asking why dont they show every game on tv or even on sky go or now tv. The reason was you would have empty stadiums for teams who are not popular.
Man city cannot even fill their stadium and they are a top six club.
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.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.
If they keep doing that people will just cancel their subscription completely.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.
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.Individual clubs should be able to stream games through their chosen platform to fans for a fee, just like game day.
Fan channel 'personalities' can do commentary.
These should be able to be viewed at the same time as any televised matches.
Fans should be able to support their club just like buying matchday tickets. This could save small clubs.
I'd watch MU on MUTV for a small fee every game with fans or ex players doing commentary. Season ticket holders getting free access.
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.If they keep doing that people will just cancel their subscription completely.
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.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
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 viewThe 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.
Am sure they don’t care if 200,000 people are to watch a PPV that’s an extra £3m they makeIf they keep doing that people will just cancel their subscription completely.
Probably not.Am sure they don’t care if 200,000 people are to watch a PPV that’s an extra £3m they make
Not entertaining enough, plus they only allow Pg-13 and our defending is X rated.Our games should be on that.
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.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.
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.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
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 weekendI think it's scandalous. Someone thousands of miles away has better coverage of a league based in the country one lives.
Lower leagues ARE showing all their games currently.The Premier League tried PPV football back in the early 2000s with Prem Plus, and it bombed. You can't justify paying a sports package subscription and then pay extra on top, to the tune of £15 per game! It has even less chance of succeeding when there's a plethora of streams available all over the internet.
This would make more sense if Football League clubs could televise their games on Youtube or their official websites or something and charge a fee to watch (but not £15!) since their games are rarely, if ever, televised anyway. They are not getting either TV or gate receipt cash right now. The PL clubs don't really need this.
Or they man the Sky phone lines.Anybody defending this needs their head testing.
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).So you have to pay for sky/bt/virgin at about £110 a month, tv licence as well and then to watch 38 United games is £570 for the season.
Total per season is approx £1700, fair enough you get other channels with the sub and TV licence but the additional £570 per household is mental.
That's the point. If they started with this it wouldn't get as much abuse, as you'd never had them anyway.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?
