HoylandOwl Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 As per his tweet of his letter to the EFL It’s quite interesting IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 What worries me is the comment that ideas like this are bounced on the EFL clubs, no room for debate or discussion Anyone with a business brain can see that permitting live streams of all matches will eventually cause a reduction of people thru the turnstiles. This will accelerate with the cost of living issues I can get into the stadium for say £25, but it will cost me £50 to get there. Nothing beats the live game but is it worth £50 and 8 hours out of my Saturday ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online season tickets, that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's coming from me, who can't get to as many games as I'd like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's saying is that he wants a chunk of the money our fans spend ordering it through our online channels just because they're hosting the game He'd get the income if he sold us a physical ticket. Equally though, he can't expect anything from the game at Hillsborough Edited July 4, 2022 by Skamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if i'm not mistaken iFollow is for those that live overseas and therefore those purchasing are unlikely to attend anyway We got 2600 which is ample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games shifted for TV. How long before crowds are 10% then 15% then 25% down IF access is permitted to all UK users - home and away The EFL are perhaps running headlong into seeing revenue streams today - without fully considering the impact tomorrow. You would hope they are but its the EFL so I am not convinced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely why more games were available to UK residents last season., it’s a hard one to get right I think Don't disagree but I think as the Accrington fella says its almost declared to a meeting as a fait accompli by the EFL, no debate. On the odd occasion I watched a Championship game on the red button the crowds looked abysmal. That plus Ifollow will have an impact. Indeed using my own example there is no real point getting a season ticket. Why pay for midweek games which the probability of me attending are slim, especially if I can access for a tenner.
