With there being no PL or Championship games this weekend there will be less of an impact. Some Supporters of other clubs will go to lower league clubs to get there football fix making the impact less obvious. It’s absolutely chucking it down in Cheshire today & I’ve covered a lot of it. Many “decide on the dayers” will look have looked out of the window & paid up & watched at home or watched down the pub rather than take the time to go. A family of four, maybe £60 plus extras in exchange for a fiver between them to watch at home. EDIT: I quoted the wrong post.
If the weather is that bad and people are deciding last minute, then I suspect a large chunk of those (let's say 60-75%) would have decided not to go anyway and rented a movie/gone down the pub/done something else with their afternoon. Instead, the club is now recovering some of that income through a streaming service. I acknowledge there's arguments both ways, and a lot of people are in the "Don't change what's always come before" camp, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that point of view, it's just a difference of opinion.
