Scary Bear Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I see our away game with Ayr has been chosen as the Friday night game on BBC Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Probably get a roasting for this but I reckon all Championship teams should be charging more for game streams. If you consider the majority of teams would normally be charging upwards of £18 for games and if (like me) you have more than one supporter in the house then the Covid 19-20 armchair supporter is really scoring at the football clubs expense. By my reckoning last Saturday my son and I would have spent somewhere in the region of £80 (Transport £30, Admission £36, Prog's £2, food to go to Palmerston if we'd had that option. Instead we both sat and watched the game with several tins of Innes & Gunn and 2 steak pies, all in all just north of £20 and while the inner Fifer in me is rejoicing outwardly I know it's unsustainable for football clubs at our level. I know there's a counter arguments, one being that the clubs are saving money on stewarding cost's etc but surely they are losing far more in lost revenue due to no corporate hospitality? Another argument could be that concessions would be slightly out of pocket but that'd be a swings and roundabout thing for me, some you win etc. I would be happy with a flat rate of £15/stream as long as the stream is of decent quality and the camera isn't fixated on the Lino's cranium, I don't think £15 is too much to pay for the product as long as it meets the right criteria. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Some decent news on the injury front at least. Out of the players injured last week only MacDonald is a doubt for Saturday it seems, while Vaughan has had another injection to try and clear the scar tissue and Ugwu is still 2-3 weeks away from being ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Our home match with Dundee has been moved to Tuesday 12th January to avoid a clash with the Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Our home match with Dundee has been moved to Tuesday 12th January to avoid a clash with the Scottish Cup. I assume there is a confidence that some fans will be allowed by then as otherwise surely the sensible thing would have been to bring it forward to 28th November which is now a free Saturday for the whole league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a free Saturday for all if nobody gets through to the 2nd round of the Betfred Cup! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Rasta Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Anyone ken what the viewing figures was for the East Fife and Arbroath games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So, after his standing down as chairman, Bill Clark was terminated as a director of Raith Rovers Football Club Ltd on 23 August. He's just been re-appointed as a director yesterday. I still don't really have a feeling for what went down earlier in the year, but it would appear bridges weren't burnt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me. The product is so different, the price of attending a game in person is barely a reference point. The streams have not been universally praised, and most people experience dropping connection or buffering - whoever's fault that is. Goodwill has been vital between fans and clubs in the period before games could be played. Clubs all know we're far from a return to that and they can't be back rattling the tin to fans who feel ripped off. Lastly, consider how easy it is to get an 'unofficial' stream of a televised game. If it cost over the odds to get into Stark's and it was easy to sneak in... a lot of people would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it cost over the odds to get into Stark's and it was easy to sneak in... a lot of people would. Not for me either. I’ve paid my season ticket anyway, but for away games £10/£12 is about the maximum I’ll pay for 90 minutes watching a game on my laptop in the house. If I’m not physically at the game then I don’t really have an excuse not to be running my kids to clubs or taking them to the park or whatever (thankfully birthday parties are out) so I end up only seeing about 30/45 minutes of games anyway.
