[Albion] BT Sport boss: Premier League suggested £14.95 pay-per-view fee
- Thread starter Wozza
- Start date
If at 14.95 BT are ‘barely covering their costs’, how much is actually going to go back to the clubs ?

Have you seen how many trucks and people arrive when we’re live on tv
Yes but that is there even if we are not on domestic tv. It’s a single broadcaster for everyone globally

the costs are those the Premier League set for rights to show the game.

Not many more than when we're not live on UK TV. As mentioned so many times, every game is live somewhere, hence all the 'free' streams. Do you really think they will roll in 10 extra cameras, 3 pitchside crew, 2 commentators and a whole load more for Brighton v WBA that will be viewed by under 20K fans. In a word NO.
All the commentators will be at home or in a studio, the transmission will be taken from the cameras in place for others. Only extra may be a truck that decides which camera to show and replays. In the end we could even get Gray & Keys live from BeIn Sports.

The quote was this:
“We also have a cost that they’re charging us for those games. We’re certainly not making significant amounts of money out of this, we’re pretty much just covering our costs to put these games on.”
So part of the cost that "they're charging us" will be the bit that goes to clubs

Every game is broadcast globally, with commentary in English, all they need to do is flick a switch and it goes out on sky/bt/Amazon, just more lying, conning, and ripping off. If they want to personalise it, then use the local BBC radio commentary feeds and hey presto, a pretty much free solution. I’ll stick to moody streams, which seem to be better than ever at the moment.

From what I had heard, I had assumed that profits from games were being shared amongst the clubs.
It now sounds like The networks are being charged for access to the games and the networks are bearing the risk on the take up and the potential for more profits, if it takes off.

I still remember that FRISSON of excitement I'd feel walking up Goldstone Lane, and clocking a manky rickety old unit of scaffolding erected at the back of the East terrace, with a small shack acting as the commentary box.

Ifollow charge 10 quid for what is basically a single camera. It works fine. All the paraphernalia of sky featured razzmatazz is simply not necessary for the non TV picked games, just pare it back
and Codnor's gonna play really well.I still remember that FRISSON of excitement I'd feel walking up Goldstone Lane, and clocking a manky rickety old unit of scaffolding erected at the back of the East terrace, with a small shack acting as the commentary box.

Infuriating player, but when he was on it, he was MUSTARD.
Millwall was a scaffolding day, and he was immense that afternoon.
He was the full condiment range when the cameras were there.
Were he playing today the conversation would be:-
Messi Codnor or Ronaldo - who's the best?

Thanks for that reminder of something long lost.

Sure John Motson was walking round the Goldstone East stand the day we beat Forest 1.0 in 1980.

Well that's very interesting because my understanding is they aren't allowed to do that legally because the PL would open themselves up to running a cartel.
Agree or disagree with Paul Barber (and I'll often disagree) but he speaks the truth as he sees it. Brighton were surprised at the price but had absolutely no input because that would be illegal.
Perhaps if there was more meat to the bone and instead of referring to 'the premier leauge' saying something, they should say who at the premier league said something.
