Beam Backs

[crodonilson]

How about £15 including chicken in a basket meal, £1 discount off a drink and cash bar facility??

I will travel away this season - 2/3 games probably - Beam backs wouldn't impact when I would/wouldn't travel.

If there were a notionally priced beam back - no more than £10 (£5 kids) - I would probably go to some (maybe half of games).

Would I spent the same on drinks/food as a home game? Yes I would (~£20-25 a game usually)


The club would get ~£40 from us, with travel I certainly wouldn't see more than one a month this way.

Is this going to be beamed back to the big screens in the ground or just the tv's in the bar?

 

[London Irish]

Having young kids means spending nearly all of my Saturday travelling to some northern football outpost is a no-no. But beambacks at Amex eminently do-able

Only guessing, but if there are beam backs, there is a possibility of picking up the game via Wiziwig etc?

Good to see the Albion at the forefront of this initiative which is only going to expand in the future.

They wont be a beam back (outside broadcasts using a truck to uplink to a satellite) as such , the game will be sent via fibre optic links presumably on a secure network.

Ah, fair enough. Cheers.

If the Football League think there is money to be made from broadcasting midweek away games between clubs 150 miles apart it will be on Player sooner than later.

Must be cheaper, stewarding and policing numbers [with no opposition about] should be a fraction of the usual match day. Ground won't be full [25k+] either.

Could be another way for the club to fleece its fans .....

That's the spirit.

I don't travel away too often, but I would travel to the Amex for beambacks of away matches.

I would say the same as my days of driving all over the country to watch Brighton are no over, but my jnterest is still as keen

I think the club would have to price it at a point where fans would turn up in sufficient numbers to encourage them to spend extra on booze and food. £10 including a pint and pie meal deal (or kids meal deal) ?

Being held in the Heineken Lounge , 300 spaces available , £10 including pie and pint (non alcoholic alternative as well). Proceeds will be donated to Sam Bevan whose mum is the Dicks Bar manageress. Sam , 28 , a mum to two young kiddies has advanced cervical cancer and the proceeds will go towards funding her treatment. Richie Reynolds , Guy "Tank" Butters and Michel "FDM" Kuipers will also be in attendance.

Hopefully there will be other evenings arranged like this - I'm interested but don't think I can go next Tuesday.
