It’s so pleasing that any reconstruction would mean The Caley being promoted and Dundee and Ayr United missing out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of ways football clubs can gain investment. Asking fans to fork out 10-15 quid every week to sit on their sofa watching some shite feed on their laptop isn’t one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind watching Arbroath v ayr .without fans the games fucked tbh .and I think £5 is about as much as people would be willing too pay. Aye. The Bundesliga games are a strange watch. Even the Dortmund and Bayern games last week with top class players were slow and preseason friendly-esque. I’d pay £5 max to watch us on a stream 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I guess Dundee fans implying they’d give their club their whole wage packet is true to form given their club needs bailed out fairly regularly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanhourjoe Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Think it's a terrible idea. However, if it's a very long time till fans can return. It could be an option,just to try and keep clubs alive till then. The smaller clubs definitely aren't going to have the take up to make it work. So maybe with a shared pot from it. And every club running on much reduced wages, and some basically just youth teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a big uptake for the first couple of matches, but if clubs are charging £15+ for the stream every week the drop off will be enormous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 That's unfair on the Scarf. Sure, he was white knighting Scot Gardiner for a week before that all blew back spectacularly but I for one do not believe he is anything less than a 7/10 and would not entertain the idea of plaid flannel shirts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see folk paying £15 a week to watch it on a potentially poor stream with no atmosphere. It definitely won’t make as much for clubs as ticket sales/Matchday revenue does.

The fact it isn't the same as being there doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with the price to view a live event. I don't think you'll be put in charge of marketing the idea.

Also just think what would happen if a stream goes down for a couple of minutes or if it freezes or buffers for a bit. Clubs have equipment that is perfunctory but it isn't top equipment. It's also ran by volunteers. There will be no replays. No various camera angles (most will have a single camera; some might have a second at most). Perhaps no commentary at some games. No analysis (a positive for me as I can't stand it but others like it). No stats. It's a tough sell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 If clubs have to play matches without fans and it’s a way of A) watching the games and B) a way to generate some money, then I don’t see the problem. It would be a difficult one to implement. If Ayr were playing Arbroath, then I would be under the impression if you’re paying to watch the match, then Arbroath would be the benefactors of the money as it’s their home match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baw heid Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 1 hour ago, johnnydun said: Why would they want to? 7 out the 10 clubs would make more by keeping the away fan's subscriptions from the home games. The League would lay down the rules to ensure the share was fair. If the home club kept only their home games a team like Hearts could loose out as more of their support will watch away games . The clubs with larger support would benefit by always receiving the revenue from their own support 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
