j1mgg 3,766 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I wasn't able to make the game yesterday as I was on call which basically means I can't really travel far from my house.Although someone used my ticket and I was able to watch the game on a shitty stream I was kind of thinking I would of rather paid £5 for a better quality stream and to know the money would be going to the club. We basically already have it set as we stream to fans abroad and I Do t really agree with this fans would stop going pish.We have fans that go to games week in week out, same with the guys at away gamesWe have fans that may go now and again when they have money or spare timeWe have fans that just don't goSo I can't see it making a difference to attendances, but would help the people that can't go for one reason or another and would generate extra money, I wouldn't even be that bothered if after overheads had been done if the money was split with the visiting team.This would also let clubs generate much more needed cash.

I agree with what you say and as I live in England the matches covered by RTV don't get shown down here either.So what we should ask the Club is why not try it for a period of time and if it affects attendances drop it. as far as I know Man U, Liverpool show their games live and dont seem to have any problems. Personally I would rather be at Ibrox soaking up the atmosphere than watching it on telly and thats one reason that myself, my wife and brother will be up for the east stirling game. I am hoping for a simular performance to yesterday. watp :7325: :7325: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetheart 8,458 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 At some point or other something in life pops up and I can't attend a game, I would love RTV to offer a pay per view package to people living in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanger 625 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It would be great if we could do this. A hell of a lot of obstacles to overcome till this happens though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockney69 48 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 YesI would be happy to pay 6 quid each week from down southTrial it outside Scotland as I do understand the fear in attendance figures, but its not provenI wonder How many Bears travel up from down south anyway. Probably a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 why? without a doubt it would reduce attendances Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Because I know everything, ask my ex wife.I honestly don't think it would.People that go don't just go to see the football, but for the whole thing of sitting in the crowd getting the atmosphere, and it would be even better if it was only the club that was allowed to sell the media on a Saturday 3pm meaning sky and such still wouldn't be able to show the games at this time.Why should 30 miles change the fact the you can watch a EPL game on a Saturday at 3pm. If you get sky in the republic of Ireland you can watch a 3pm EPL game, but if you stay in the north you can't. If you have hooky sky the good chance is you can on setanta 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,242 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Could they not offer live streams to season ticket holders or those who buy tickets but can't go.I could see attendance figures dropping if it was offered to everyone but the club would still make money, attendances seem to mean FA these days (the scum make them up anyway)I can't geat to games but I'd gladly pay the club my subscription.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 found this:-UEFA sells the broadcast rights in a three season basis and various packages are available for bidders, with UEFA weighing balance between free and pay television under the UEFA and European Union (EU) agreement. While balancing between free and pay television, if the rights do not sell within "sales windows", the rights may be sold on an individual basis to pay-per-view television broadcasters.[1]Maybe this is why the SFA want our TV rights Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankAnderson 1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 If UEFA cannot agree that Rangers can play in England because that is a different country how can they object to us showing football to England, Wales or Norn Iron. They cannot have it all ways can they. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
