@jaffaklopp loves a bit of Rylan gif bants. Top lad that one, he’s defo welcome at my post-Covid bbq pool party.
It is great, but I’m wondering how many subscribed between both sets of fans. To see whether it was worth putting on PPV. Less than £50k in subscriptions and I’m thinking it’s probably not. £20k... That’s about 1300 fans. Between us both we probably have around 7-8m fans in the UK?
As it's patently obvious that I'm right, based on the FA disciplinary board stating that Pickford will face no punishment, I can only assume you think I'm a god. I'm not a god, but history has shown that to people like you it must seem like I am.
The PL are playing a very dangerous game with PPV. If people aren't willing to pay the charge then they're effectively giving Sky and BT direct information on exactly how much their product is worth to fans, which will no doubt come up in the next negotiations for TV rights. If this experiment fails it could end up costing them hundreds of millions. Should have just offered the games for free and took the PR win.
That’s utter bilge, as the broadcasters operate on a subscription model and the games being put on PPV are merely the ones the broadcasters discarded. What they should do, is review the price point as they’d likely get a far greater total purse if the games were considerably less than £15 a pop.
What price would you suggest Tobes ? My view is the PL is different in that many people who are not fans of the clubs being broadcast still wish to view the game. With that in mind £10 is still too much so £5 would be much better. This could work for the PL as it's numbers they need to get the ball rolling on PPV, the obvious price increase can come later when fans have become accustomed to the new way of being charged for their football on TV.
I think they should do something novel, like putting seats around the pitch and getting people to sit on those. Maybe give them the chance to do that for all league home games and charge them a one off fee for the season.
I think I'm right in saying the Everton v Liverpool game was on BT Sport. It tied with my club own kick-off time, so couldn't watch it anyway, and I pay £10 per game. However, if my club had not been playing at the same time, I could have paid £25 to watch the Premier League game and kept the BT Sport for one month, no contract.
In fairness it was slightly less spursy than you were against us... and that's what I will desperately cling on to until our next humiliation
****ing hell...I watched spurs v everton, spurs v Bournemouth and spurs v pslace at the arse end of last season and they were all ****ing turgid...so this must be god awful
I agree with what you say, they should aim the price point at the fans who’d have watched the game if it was merely part of their subscription but won’t at £15 a go. Somewhere between £5-8 imo.
