We are the biggest sports club in the region; I'd imagine sport brings in more listeners than most other shows and as a result you'd think we'd have the power in the deal. Unfortunately what Chansiri didn't realise is that this isn't a normal business; fans aren't customers and are wildly emotional about any decision made.

There's absolutely no chance the BBC will have come to us with the begging bowl to offer us more money than any of the other clubs. So at best we've got the same deal, but also potentially less. How does the iFollow work payment wise? Has anyone paid an annual sub for this on the basis of not having Radio Sheffield?

TrickyTrev Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I bought my mum the audio package for the season when it was announced we wouldn't be on the radio this season. She doesn't get to the matches and she's been really happy with it, she's really enjoying being able to listen to the home matches which is something she couldn't do on the radio. Even though a new deal has been struck with the BBC I'll still happily renew this for her next season, extra money for the club and my mum gets all the home and away matches. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 At least one of Chansiris stupid decisions has been reversed. Plenty more need reversing especially Matchday pricing I presume RS will only pay a pro rata amount of the original offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 People thinking we'll be getting more money out of this now like we're some kind of 'hot contract' to tie down. Admit it. Chansiri made a stupid decision with the fans being the last thing on his mind. Now he's accepted his mistakes but will never apologise for it he'll just make it sound like we've got a better deal. 4.3k was the original price remember. Dave Jones salary for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 So. All the fans who complain so much about Sky taking over football. and the huge amounts they are pouring into Premiership, which affects the Championship by the parachute payments relegated cubs have to spend, are quite happy for us to cheerfully accept a REDUCTION in the amount that the mighty BBC is prepared to pay clubs, and ARE HAPPY ABOUT IT.. This from townships who fought the Governments of the day, and the Leaders of the Industries to the bitter end! I thought that Chansiri was correct when standing up to the Bosses of broadcasting. It seems as though I was wrong. What happens next year, when the Beeb reduce further the cost of broadcasting payments , which it certainly will? Still. It won't concern us, will it? We shall be in the moneyed halls of the Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making yourself look silly ranting on about this when the figures involved are tiny compared to the PR disaster this whole thing has been.

optimisticowl Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Just playing devils advocate, I just wondered how much a commercial radio station, if there was one, would pay to cover our matches. I can never understand how the BBC manage to balance their books, Gary Lineker’s salary comes to mind. I appreciate that they sell programs to other companies on top of the licence fees, but am amazed that they never appear to get into financial difficulties.

Yes, I would be very surprised indeed if the BBC has offered the club a bespoke deal. And in this instance, I have relevant first-hand knowledge.

Fair point! But the BBC's annual report is intended for public consumption so there are simple summaries. But the key thing is that the BBC is not really allowed to get into debt. So it has to pay its way through the licence fee and commercial income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davies Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 1. The BBC do not pay every club the same and they have never claimed this. They asked each club to reduce their contract by 10%. This does not suggest every club gets paid the same. How do we know this. A few years ago Barnsley reject a BBC deal and they were not on the radio either. The reason was the amount the BBC pays other clubs in the area (obviously us) in relation to them. 2. The BBC has just increased what they pay for the MOTD by a good 100m - so they can get FCUKED! 3. It wasn't a good move, it affects a lot of our fans. However, they cannot expect us to pay for better players to which increase their figures and pay us less. 4. Sod the BBC!!! Sometimes in business you need to stand up to people. There are always consequences but you will win in the end. I have no doubt the BBC are paying the same as last year for DC to accept. Its not about money its about stopping the rot. Every other sports company are increasing their payments and the BBC want to reduce it!! pet shop the BBC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
