[Albion] £14.95 to watch Albion

[drofnud]

That is what Sky & BT are proposing to watch, on pay per view, any PL game not being televised. Would you pay it?

 

[Mellotron]

Shared between 3 people, probably, begrudgingly, yes.

 

[pocketseagull]

No.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Yes

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Seems a bit steep, but I assume this needs to fill the income gap for Sky, otherwise the clubs have to hand a load of money back again?

 

[crodonilson]

How much to watch this for ex pat fans on their respective platforms? I assume nil in with their subscription price. UK fans shafted again.

Money going to the clubs not sky to help towards short fall of no match day revenue

In which case, Yes, happy to pay.

Why would there be an income gap to be filled for Sky? They have a contract to televise X number of games, which they still can in their regular slots and would be covered by existing Sky/BT subscriptions.

 

[Normal Rob]

Maybe the odd, critical game yes. probably only one or 2 a year though.

 

[Nathan]

To watch Brighton, yes.

True. I was confusing their rebate demand from the lockdown with the post lockdown and current situation where we do have football, but without any fans.

 

[Nathan]

Palace game is already on Sky, so would be for the WBA and Spurs game. Would imagine the Spurs game would be a tv pick anyway, so free to those with subscriptions to Sky/BT.

 

[Barrow Boy]

No.

 

[Bozza]

True. I was confusing their rebate demand from the lockdown with the post lockdown and current situation where we do have football, but without any fans.

I must admit I don't entirely understand why, when they were able to show MORE games, they were owed money!

NowTV allows 2 devices simultaneously, £7.50 each its ok

Never subscribed to Sky under contract, so few Albion games on it.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

True. I was confusing their rebate demand from the lockdown with the post lockdown and current situation where we do have football, but without any fans.

I still don't understand why they are getting a rebate? I am sure that their viewing figures will have been higher as a result of people being desperate to get football back and not being able to go to games or the pub to watch it?

 

[Justice]

Funny init you would happily go to a pub watch the game and spend a load of dosh, yet bulk at £14.95 to watch at home.

 

[blue-shifted]

Yes if all the money (or near as damn it) is going to the clubs.

No if lining fat TV execs pocket

 

[beorhthelm]

nope.
