Grasshopper Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If it was a match by match pay per view (no season discount) the club could gage over time how "attractive" a proposition it is to choose watching "Bruce's Villa" or other teams/matches. Sure the fanbase would use it as evidence for or against in arguements here on VT. But untapped markets would watch-digest-decide if we were worth the bother.

LakotaDakota Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It's about time they scrapped this stupid law in the UK anyway regarding no live tv games at 3pm on saturdays. Boo-hoo, if your team is shit and nobody wants to watch you then do something about it or pack it in. If people would prefer to watch a live game on TV rather than go to the game or pay £20 to watch some crap football in the Conference there is a reason for that so just let it happen and things will work themseves out as clubs adapt. sure the rich will get richer due to more people paying to watch but that is the same with attendances and current TV money anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! We couldn't disagree more. You'd kill already-struggling clubs, most of whom have been around for over 100 years. England can rightly be proud of having 4 full professional leagues with no B teams or regional separation like the other big leagues have to have. Not to mention the leagues below that. You'd rip the heart out of the most vulnerable clubs just to knowingly further line the pockets of the already-haves. No, no and thrice no. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2017 2 hours ago, KSV said: thats what i was thinking. Cant we just log on to the opposition every week to watch our match? or whoever plays Villa gets no coverage. Vice versa with if we had our own version.. the opposition cant watch their side if we had the coverage only? Its better if they all stayed with IFOLLOW. But hey.. if Doc wants to give us our own.. fark the rest The way I read it is you effectively buy a season ticket at the start. So you would then get all of Villa's games* (if they hadn't opted out). If that IS the case then in order to watch Villa v Barnsley on iFollow, you'd have to buy a Barnsley season ticket at £110. For 2 matches (you'd get the away tie then as well ). And then a Cardiff season ticket etc etc etc. * Interesting little caveat suggesting you probably wouldn't get your club's more glamourous ties any way. Which might be why Villa opted out. iFollow would probably miss half of Villa's season the amount of times we'd be selected. Quote with iFollow showing every EFL league match live unless that match has been selected by the EFL’s overseas broadcast partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Then again if they are all being streamed, it means that we WILL be able to get coverage for sure like we don't illegally do already some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Nulion's copy protection technology was already bypassed for Prem League plus in 2024/2015, so I am sure iFollow and whatever Villa decide to go with will make its way to U.K. streamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough set top boxes, websites, IPTV providers, pubs that offer 3pm football and have done for a good number of years, I watched the Blackburn game from home last weekend live, so I don't agree it would kill struggling clubs if all 3pms were broadcast in the U.K, chances are the people that would subscribe to extra games are watching them already.)
