Yeah I’ve looked at this. The fact that the PPV payment is to ‘Fat Tony’s Rainy Day Fund’ certainly looks a bit off. ETA I think that once clubs were letting in full crowds again then the season ticket/live stream was off the table.

I think Rangers don’t and United obviously don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full support from me on this, I think United have made an arse of this. What's the difference to watching it while paying for it or watching free via VST to Sky? The games aren't live so Sky won't lose any viewers. Sunday is supposed to be my last day, but may not be back at work Monday. Everytime I think its getting better it has another wee turn!! All the best to yourself health-wise too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be charitable and say they are misunderstanding the rules. This would only apply to games live on Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Let's be charitable and say they are misunderstanding the rules. This would only apply to games live on Sky.It might be that. I’ve since sent them information that at least 9 out of 12 clubs offer a streaming service to ST holders. There is also a line in United’s own Season Ticket package that claims the club will continue to offer streams to fans unless there is a change to the broadcasting deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Ross County have now replied to me. That makes 10 out of 12 still offering streams. Only United and Rangers do not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope health wise everything is clear for you and your family in the very near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The club actually phoned me. It seems clearer now (I think).United do not have any ‘Red Zone’ within an area that would normally be used by Season Ticket holders, other clubs have been able to claim that red zones have technically impacted on season tickets and have circumnavigated their way around it using that. In other news, the Covid isn’t going away and now I have reached the dreaded no taste and smell stage. Which is shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the taste & smell thing is a bad thing. I've kept mine, but wish I hadn't the taste in my mouth has been horrendous! You had the racing resting heart rate? That was scary, thankfully last couple of hours everything seems to have calmed down other than shivers and headache. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had little else to do, so a crusade against United has kept me busy!Heart has been fine, my main issues have been constantly exhausted, shivers and dizziness. I do feel better today than I have done since Monday so fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I’m finding it hard to believe that us and Sevco are the only clubs without said ‘Red Zone’.No I think the idea is that we do have a Red Zone but that it doesn’t actually impact (or theoretically impact) season ticket holders. United asked about this and were told that clubs have claimed that due to season ticket holder relocation, or prevention from selling season tickets, that they have the streams as a compensatory thing. From what I was told on the phone we are the only club where season ticket seats have either been prevented from being sold or relocated to elsewhere and as such, other teams have used this as a way of still providing streams. Rangers just don’t, for whatever reason, which leaves us as being (according to the club) the only team unable to offer season ticket streams this season.I’ve already had people tell me that this is all nonsense and that United are still not being entirely transparent, but I’ve lost the energy to keep going back to the club and arguing the point. I was also told that the day red zones disappear, is the day that PPV in general just disappears (because at present clubs cannot sell to capacity). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
