Credit where it's due to the club for voting against it. Insane that there are middling clubs out there who think their fans would actually accept this. What goes on in the heads of officials at Burnley, for example, in thinking their fans would endorse this crap?

[StanSP 26,341]

Appreciate that from the club. Very surprising we were the only ones though. 

[The whole world smiles 4,891]

What's the crack with iptv. Could someone pm a link? 

[Sol thewall Bamba 7,728]

Excellent from the club if that's the case.

Especially when Liverpool give it the “more than a club" bollocks. 

[Jevans 20]

All the tight arses in here will

have to go back to radio Leicester and teletext to follow the game and catch the highlights on match of the day at 2230.

And Everton being 'the people's club'

You gonna pay for us? Help some fellow fans out? 

 

You seem to be rolling in the cash.

In a reply he says apparently Woodward voted in favour despite this, then quotes the JP tweet after that. Going to be some interesting to see what comes out from this...

Hmmm this tweet however kind of goes against what Percy has said. Why would Woodward propose free access for ST holders and then not vote against the proposals?

£15 is profiteering from the clubs. Once again they’ve been given a chance to engage with their communities and chosen to rip them off instead.

 

Also, I’m sure I’m not alone in having split the cost for PPV stuff before with friends. Not really an option at the moment, is it? (And not just because I have no friends)

absolutely disgusting that we were the only club to do this though. The others should be ashamed.

I'm sorry £15 a game is an absolute joke on top of Sky/BT subscriptions

Same me mate,just greedy bastards

[urban fox 1,622]

so if a game is scheduled to be televised on sky i can buy a now tv day pass for £9.99. if its not scheduled, then its £14.95? what sort of madness is that? call me a cynic but watch the now TV day pass price suddenly leap up overnight and sky will say that they have done it to be "fair" to supporters of all clubs who do not have access to satellite broadcasts.

 

[SemperEadem 2,582]

Football at the top level in this country really is grim.

Yep exactly, said something similar in a post earlier. Even more ridiculous when you point out that the day pass gets you another 22 hours worth of sky sports on top of the match (so potentially triple the football, plus F1/rugby etc), whereas the PPV will just be the single game...

You really can't blame people for going for streams instead. I could understand if it was for a 3pm game and it would affect the lower/ non-league gates but to ask to pay more for matches on a Sunday evening?

[Saxondale 1,342]

I've always said I'd be happy to pay-per-view if it was £5. That feels like the right amount to me. £15 is not far off the price of a match ticket.

[Captain... 7,785]

There also needs to be a fair distribution of games. Fans of unfashionable clubs shouldn't have to pay for more games.

 

Bit of a shit show all round really.

[goody2028 1,221]

Really needs to be an organised boycott of this. Can’t believe they charge this sort of price and then have the nerve to try and get streams banned, can you really blame people for turning to streaming?

It’s is but I did it for the West Ham game and justified it be thinking I’d be spending a lot more if I was actually going the game.

Given the result I regret my decision 

They can't justify it, but say if you went to a live concert you'd be paying £100 and some, if you watch the video/stream it'd be a fiver, 20%. This lot are charging 70%. Fvckin rip off. It's almost as though they're making a point  by over charging to justify not making pay per view viable because they numbers will be low.
