So whilst 35k fans would get to watch the game there would still be a lot of fans that would have to watch it on dodgy streams. I guess my point is would the ppv seem as bad if crowds were allowed? I personally think if they had gone for £9.50 a game there wouldn’t be such an uproar. Over £10 tipped people over the edge. I agree, I think people wouldn't have been happy with paying £10, but a lot of people would have done it, I mean I paid £7 or whatever it was a game in the Championship through the website, I'd probably pay £10 in the PL, especially when you're getting full HD etc with that, but £15 is a piss take and I'd imagine there's a lot of people that could afford it but won't pay it out of principle - I'd also guess that most of those would end up paying the tenner if that was the price 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team of people that worked out the pricing are in the wrong job. They probably got paid a shed load to work out that £15 was the right price.

Then tweet the total amount @ Sky and BT and the PL to rub their scummy little noses in it and show them what a shambles their recent initiatives have been.

chappy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Looks like we’ll have two more on PPV in November. Arsenal and Brighton not selected for live coverage.

Maybe there is something else happening out there but if not then this is very disappointing compared to how well the Leeds fans have done. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/villafoodbank?utm_source=Sharethis&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=villafoodbank&utm_campaign=pfp-email&utm_term=b6127c481b794522836921766591f84c. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the Arsenal game would have been on, if only to show Arsenal again (as showing us with West Ham also gives them West Ham, who we just happen to be playing). Perhaps BT have some of our games? I would have thought that the Wolves game must be shown. Given our start and position in the table, I really had expected more of our games would be chosen, than not. It must be difficult to fit in clubs like us who happen to be in the top four, when bottom half clubs like both Manchester teams and the other usual suspects rely on their television income for their survival! Perhaps, I'm missing the "big picture" here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Every game in November is PPV bar West Ham away that's live on Sky Sports MNF.

tinker Posted October 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2020 Donate to charity and get a VPN, a paid one , you can then watch all the games using the normal sites and Sky and the rest of the blockers will not be able to stop you or even know what your up to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the big fish in a small pond then. I still find it astounding that given the start we've had we have been not selected more often by Sky and BT. Perhaps they think that of the clubs outside of those they put on week after week, we are among a handful of other clubs that will attract decent PPV income for them. They would rather fleece us than their precious Liverpool and Manchester United viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its Liverpool and Man Utd fans that complain to the most, a friend o mine said he was cancelling sky and bt because Liverpool where not televised for Sheffield United match , despite the fact they where on sky on vs Everton previous weekend and BT sports for their champions league match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
