Ro Sham Bo Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I have to laugh at the club trying to drum up support for the first home game when they can't even get season tickets out to folk who bought them weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if they are aware of that they should really be putting out a message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of good reasons around privacy for having one and the good ones are usually a couple of quid a month subscription.

Totally agree with you, a valuable revenue stream gone because of nonsense tradition and old school rules It's got nothing to do with tradition and everything to do with football clubs who rely on live match attendance from their punters keeping that live match audience. Which means going to the ground and paying your way rather than inviting four of your mates over for a cheap swally instead. That's how the live events industry worked in 2019 and how it's going to work again now. And of course if the blackout was lifted (as you want for reasons of narrow self-interest for Raith games) then it would also have to be lifted for the English leagues. And so Man United/City/Liverpool games would be getting beamed into half the pubs and homes in the country every Saturday at 3pm. Which might have an impact on crap Scottish Championship clubs getting customers into their grounds, watching a stream at all, and on getting the next generation of fans engaged.

So yes, while I do agree with the points you've made, things have changed since 2019 sadly. Whether it be peoples willingness to go outside after Covid or due to the cost of living crisis the majority of the nation are being subjected to, clubs at all levels need to be able to adjust their match day experience to ensure that they retain as much of their audience as possible. There will be a number of people who can't afford the cost of a matchday live, transport, ticket(s) etc that would likely be more than willing to buy the live stream instead if it were available to them. Of course you want as many people as possible to be there watching it live in the ground, but thats potentially not as feasible as it once was unfortunately and things may have to change. Additionally, while yes the blackout would need to be lifted across the whole country, the number of the "big draw" teams playing at 3pm on a Saturday now is minimal due to existing TV requirements, that would be unlikely to change given these stations want maximum attention on their chosen game anyway. 3pm on a Saturday is no longer match day at the bigger leagues so the impact it might have is potentially less than it was before. It would be interesting to see club engagement figures from last season compared to this season come May next year to see if it did impact overall figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
