If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

It was always going to happen from the minute streaming games became a thing.

People sniffing profit is a driver in everything.

It would be good for me who can not get to any games because of poor health.

On the down side it will effect gates so the price must cover the missing fans who will stop attending games at the park.

On the up side we won't have to spend millions on a new ground.

The same applies to me, but I wonder if the £10 will rise because the EFL will want a cut.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it.

I understand the argument that it could hit gates, although we won’t know until we try long term I guess, but I also undetand that many a fan can’t attend for whatever reason and therefore this still provides a platform for them to see games…

Let's be fair. It's very easy now to get hold of a dodgy stick / app at a cheap price so anyone who's not bothered about going and would rather watch online mostly do already surely?
I paid £30 and I have a whole year of free efl live games, sky, bt, movies etc... I still pay for mariners TV just so I'm giving something to town still though.

Have to move with the times. Resistance to technology is pointless! It's an extra income stream for the clubs and should benefit us with our relatively large exile following.

With no 3 pm Saturday blackout there will no longer be a reason to play games at 3pm on Saturday
