Might not always be on TV, but for $60 I got the Premier League Matchday Pass (or whatever it was called) and I could stream every match. Going down to $50 this year too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Oh dear, I wonder when Villa Park will next have 40,000 or more fans in it. I'd been so looking forward to finally going to a match again and then coronavirus came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm actually missing the Prem already. I didn't think I'd be saying that, up to and including the Man United game, it had been depressing the hell out of me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's cheaper than in the UK. I don't have Sky but I have a feeling it might be something like £10 (about $12) for a match (pay per view). So if Sky show twelve Villa matches in a season, for example, then that's $150 for a year. Edited August 4, 2020 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 12 minutes ago, robby b said: Wow, if you mean $50 for a whole year then what a huge price difference with the UK, where people have to pay about $50 (about £40) every month, I think, to have Sky TV. About $600 a year compared with $50 a year ! That's because the Premier league is our 'home' sport. I'm sure in the USA they pay $50 a month to watch NFL or similar... and we would pay around £50 a year to get a match-pass to all the Bundesliga games (if there was such an option). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe we could pay about $50 a year here in the UK to watch baseball or basketball. I've just edited my post because I was forgetting about pay per view as an alternative, cheaper option, doh !

Interesting. Not good for me if you mean only season ticket holders allowed, as I've never been one. : ( But fair enough, it's fair for the season ticket fans from previous seasons to get priority. If no away fans is one of the things that happen next season, then it will be interesting to see if there ends up being more home wins and less away wins.

Its still wierd I remember fantasizing about how we were going to stay up throughout that covid break, whod score the goals and create the memories. Then it all actually happened and I sort of shrugged it off now like it was expected. Incredible that everything fell into place for us again. Cant wait for new season now. Hopefully we’ll start really well and be the surprise package. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we’ll start really well and be the surprise package. I really can’t wait either, and the face were going to make signings to strengthen our PL squad rather than selling better players and trying to build a squad for that championship. It’s been over a week now but I still remember a few times every day and it makes me smile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since he rocked that hair You're making me think of a lost kid when all the other kids have disappeared and all the old things he used to do he can't do any more. So he starts trying to throw stones at an inanimate tree trying to get a reaction. I'm joking by the way. I know we all have the same aims overall. But it's not an animation I believe...it's a still from a podcast. You're right though, that's not good Luiz's haircut. The lesson I learnt was that the Samson story is not true in 100% of cases.

sne Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Good! Quote Aston Villa are among the clubs leading the fight against proposals to allow five substitutes in Premier League matches next season. Top-flight clubs will vote tomorrow on whether to extend a temporary rule change which saw the number of substitutions permitted increased by two when football restarted in June. Villa boss Dean Smith has been an outspoken critic, claiming it favoured the bigger clubs who possess more strength in depth, while Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has also cautioned against the rule being used next season. Those who want to extend it include Chelsea, but they will require 14 clubs to vote in favour in order for that to happen. The initial rule change, which saw the number of players on the bench raised from seven to nine, was brought in by Fifa to guard against the increased risk of injury due to player fatigue. Any decision on whether to carry it over to next season has been left to individual competitions, with Uefa having already confirmed it will move back to three substitutes for next year’s Champions and Europa Leagues. Villa were one of just four clubs to vote against increasing the number of substitutes when it was first brought to the table in May. Smith subsequently pointed to the rule change as a factor in defeats to Chelsea and Liverpool. https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/aston-villa/2020/08/05/aston-villa-battle-against-five-substitutes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
