Villan_of_oz Posted July 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) As an Aussie, when I convert £110 into my currency its nearly $175. That is very expensive IMO, especially when I can get 6 months pay TV sports channels for the same price, granted I won't get to see all the games of villa but every other sport in the world. To put it in comparison my local Aussie rules team streams their games, costs me $50 (£31) for 18 games. As I love the Villa I will be getting (I think) but the money better be used to buy Neymar next season when we go up Edited July 29, 2017 by Villan_of_oz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do more Sky are going to want to show us more which means less games for our money. I might start with the £6 a game for now - also to see how the reliable the stream is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep we can watch 18 games for less than $110. Few extra sky games and miss a few and it'll be cheaper to pay game by game. I really think a £110 is going to price a lot of people away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it's more reliable than yesterday , been pretty reliable coverage in the friendlies until we played at villa park - at least we didn't miss any goals while the link was down .

JNortonAVFC Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Would be good if you could opt in/out for certain months after Sky have announced their schedule for the month ahead, atleast you'd be able to see whether your getting good value for that month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm watching the Watford game now and this commentator is worse than Jack IMO - he just says things that aren't true. 'Lots of pace on show from the like of Grealish', 'Great cross in' (rubbish cross) etc. Annoying me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i might wait and see what people are saying about the quality etc. I think its a bit pricey.. i would pay it if there was other programs to watch.. like 1 hour match preview.. review... interviews etc etc. Will we have all that or is is just purely for the matches?

a m ole Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm anticipating it will be a considerable amount cheaper after they dish out the refunds for the stream dropping 10 minutes every match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like a monthly subsciption as in, just breaking the year cost into a monthly fee, rather than having the option to just pay for November if we're not on sky much that month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojong Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Can you watch games on demand later or is it just live stream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2017 Not being funny but £6 a game is pittance, it costs and absolute fortune to travel home and away. I'm glad you'll finally be contributing to the upkeep of the club! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you'll finally be contributing to the upkeep of the club! It's not 6 quid for people abroad though is it. I would have liked a service for international fans to be priced accordingly in their specific currency. It doesn't take into consideration any research into exchange rates and value for money in that country, which I don't think would have taken the club too much time to have worked out. The survey a lot of us filled out regarding pricing, doesn't seem to be taken into consideration. Still it's something we didn't have last season. So stump up or listen to a radio stream. I'll be paying and having a good old moan to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know this too, because I'm unlikely to stay up to watch too many Tuesday night games at 3am my time but would be inclined to watch them next day if available. This might just help me determine whether to pay for a season pass or pay-per-match option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Also, I think 2 things will determine whether or not this is a value for money experience: 1) that they get the technical aspects of the stream right (i.e decent quality, reliable stream, and 2) that the team produces something watchable on the pitch!
