    The thing is though, that is for current STH’s should they want to take that as an alternative to getting their cash back.

    It’s not going to work for the majority of pay as you go match goers and the revenue they generate, same goes for away fans........oh and their match day spend.....oh and the fact that people like you would somehow manage to obtain illegal streams for **** all.

    People only use illegal streams because the industry forces them to with its refusal to modernise.

    No one bothers to pirate music any more because it's easier to just buy it.

    He’s never been to a game of football in his life so has no clue how important match day spend is, especially to #smallclubs

    He embodies everything that is **** about top flight football.

    No they don’t, that’s absolute ****ing bollocks. As if you pay for the service you can also stream it to your devices.

    People use illegal streams as they’re either too tight to actually pay for the service or they can’t afford it, that’s literally it.

    If your #smallclub really is popular then people will donate anyway. If the only thing you know how to do is overcharge a captive audience for a pie then tough luck.

    People don't bother to pirate music anymore because it's recorded and you can get it anywhere at any time, to gain from this some now charge a nominal fee to stream it.
    Football is live and paid for by Supporters at grounds and TV companies.
    Let me know how much your next live streamed concert/festival costs you <ok>

    That's how quite a few keep going.

    You should attend a live game sometime, start at a small club with 100+ supporters and see how it goes. You might even get to see some real football.

    People will donate. Match going fans will donate to keep their club alive despite not being able to watch them. Meanwhile you’ll somehow convince yourself that you’re a proper/better football fan as you “support” a big club by watching illegal streams for free. As I said, you’re a worthless **** and you represent the very worst of the top flight game.

    You also contribute the square root of **** all to this forum at a time when people want a bit of banter and a distraction.

    So let me get this right. The future of lower league clubs should depend on their supporters streaming games rather than attending, otherwise these clubs don't deserve to exist as somehow to have fans actually wanting to attend is akin to some pie shop over-charging its customers?

    Errrrrrrrm ...ok.

    Btw what about atmosphere? Who the fck is going to pay to watch matches in empty stadiums that lack the excitement and vocal support from the crowd. Especially in the lower leagues. It's utter bollox.

    He seems to forget that his ****ty little furloughing club nearly went bust not so long ago, i don't remember the "Anfield Family" chipping in then to keep it going.

    I know Astro comes on here and spouts this bollox but I seriously doubt even the posters on the liverpool board give him the time of day with this elitist garbage.

    Football clubs selling tickets and food/drink to supporters is outdated and deserve to go bust if they don't have hundreds of millions in broadcasting revenues.


    Apparently.

    I think they are a bit pissed off with him to be honest going off recent replies he receives. That's probably why he has decided to stray so far afield.

    Nope, "the service" doesn't exist in the first place is the problem.

    As things currently are, I pay for games now and then (Amazon and day passes) but there are many games which you literally can't even pay for, hence the need to stream to watch live. Then I rewatch later (after midnight) when it goes up on LFC TV (paid for).
