S36 OWL Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 19 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: 100% And if it's £15 as the opening price for PPV games imagine what it's gonna be in a year or two once they've hiked the prices up and up like they always do? Got a feeling this is the start of all games being PPV. It will end up like the boxing on sky. The big fights are all pay per view and sky subscribers have to wait a few days to be able to see the re run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m not sure there’ll be many neutrals paying £15, and a fair few regulars of the two teams won’t either. There are a lot of people whose jobs are on the line. As a comparison, do you know how many Wednesday fans buy weekly Ifollow? I’m guessing it’s not a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: Winter’s final question: yes, fans will still go to the PL games. If they don’t, others will take their place. It may be a different demographic, different customer, but it doesn’t matter to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a home game against Bolton they sold 400odd and Bolton sold 1900odd. Not exactly a large sample size but that seems about 10% of their usual live attending fans.

Ronnie Starling Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Clubs such as Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal will have lost loads of money and will be thinking what they could have made if they could have negotiated their own TV rights. It will be interesting to see what happens next time the TV package comes up for renewal. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 £15 is steep for the neutral. But £15 is also cheap for a pay on the gate fan of that team. Depends which way you look at it. It's a luxury to watch your team when not on TV, so it is a good thing, just probably a huge over reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would people be willing to pay to watch every Wednesday match online, there’s got to be a market for it. £300? £350? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not paying on the gate though mate You see what YOU are doing is exactly what the TV people will want you to do/say Right into their trap Which is why PPV games will go the same pricing as Boxing PPV events- mark my words 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 30 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: We all need to remember that the £10 for Champ games and £15 for Prem games is just the opening prices Guaranteed they'll go up the second they think they can get away with it They probably will get away with it though, won't they? Many football fans (including myself) are suckers. I don't think £10 to watch Wednesday on ifollow is great value, but I'm still paying it more often than not. I'd love to take a stand and bring the whole corrupt system crashing to its knees, but then 2:45 on a Saturday afternoon rolls around and I just want to watch Wednesday. They know our weakness, damn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Its all well a good IF sky stick on games that are basically aimed at the fans e.g Burnley vs Fulham etc for the pay per view. But if they start abusing it and shifting the main games e.g. Man city vs Liverpool then thats not on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
