That only reads like Hibs are relying on broadcasters to cover early part of the season. I would think that the amount of Killie fans who would buy a stream would more than cover the months wages of those responsible for setting up the system for pay-per-view options. You reckon? Personally i think the "windfall" from PPV will be tiny. Loads on IPTV, and people will not pay the prices quoted - are Livingston not charging £20 or something? https://livingstonfc.co.uk/pay-per-view-ppv/ Quite staggering to watch a match on the laptop....................... eta - I am not having a pop at Livi, it was just the one I saw earlier. I reckon most will charge something like that to retain value in the Season Tickets they have sold - but consequentially there will be few PPv viewers imo.

Zing. Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Find it a bit of a strange decision from us. Maybe want to make sure everything gets up and running for the ST holders first but it shafts a whole load of our own fans along with Killie fans while also costing the club money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are well behind in loads of areas due to the redundo consultation / furlough stuff. However, as I say above, I dont think this is the bonanza people imagine. Plus, its only one match - all will be well after this, as always with Hibs.............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The big winners in this will be OF fans who'll get to see pretty much every game their team plays for the price of a season ticket and Sky subscription. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. One of the reasons I don't think PPV will be the cash bonanza some suggest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its better than nothing though. Restricing your crowd size to season ticket holders is a bizarre, unnecessary, stance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Odd decision from Hibs. Even if it's not a huge uptake it's still money you don't have coming in. And it's brutal for the Killie fans who through no fault of their own miss the opening game of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Most of the staff dealing with this have been on furlough, so they havent been able to sort it out in time.That's not the reason they've given. They've claim it's to maintain the value of their season ticket.If that is the case then should be honest about the fact that the lack of a stream is down to their own lack of proper organisation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's brutal for the Killie fans who through no fault of their own miss the opening game of the season.Actually agree with this. Only thing I can come up with to justify it is there's a lack of confidence in the streaming company dealing with an unspecified additional thousands of people. Hibs haven't offered any real benefits to ST holders and if the stream doesn't work folk will start going mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a confusing set of words you have thrown down there - if it is us protecting ST value and we have said that, then isnt that being honest.................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, if binning the few hundred killie fans means I get to see us put them to the sword then that works for me.

Did you not have Hibs tv up and running already last season? Falkirk have been doing it on scraps for about 15 years I think. Bung them a few quid for better equipment and reliable wifi and you'd be sorted. On the occasional time Sky were around I think they used to let them nick their camera feed.

The issue this time will be the stream from the mob that supply everyone except the Rangers - Stream Digital, iirc? Hibs have 10500 STs and we are about to get a monumental fuckup with the stream on Saturday - I can almost guarantee it (as I said, Aberdeens statement suggests they might not be confident either). Add into that our back office personnel issues and its a recipe for disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
