You will but at £10 a time. Still a good deal and cheaper than buying a ST so, nothing to complain about really.

That's an assumption. We haven't said what we are doing for those with ST who hadn't renewed yet.

Not sure I’m in it, got the pin?

No announcement but as someone else who has yet to renew I am not expecting anything in that respect.

If I am honest I am still glad my Dad and Me didnt renew as now we can pay a tenner between us and watch together, I think a lot of people will be in similiar positions where multiple people will watch having paid one lot £10

I suppose if one family member has a low cost season ticket for whatever reason then its a good deal to have paid that and get free rams tv, but for those paying the top rates with 2,3,4 people in the family paying them it will be interesting to see what recompense is offered to season ticket holders who have paid as they could easily have shelled out 1k,2k plus per family group for something with a value of £460, and lets face it with X amount of games on sky and people not being able to watch every game anyway its probably not worth that much.

I would hope its not a 'lets call it quits' on the cost of Rams tv if you have a season ticket.

Its not easy for clubs as no one knows when or if any fans will be allowed to games this coming season, im glad im not having to make decisions.

I did wonder if those that hadnt renewed might be offered some sort of 'Rams tv' season ticket at a reduced rate, but then im happy paying casually at £10 to split the cost because i know i wont be able to watch all games anyway.

 

I hadn't renewed yet because the date kept getting pushed back, and I obviously would have if fans were back. At this point, I hope there's an option to freeze your season ticket for a year and get your same seats for 21/22 and also not lose all the built up early bird price from over the years. 

You're right about only one needing to it, there's about 7 or 8 season ticket holders in my family, and there's no way we'd all need to purchase it when a couple of us could and share the costs for RamsTV and watch it together.

I just wanted to play around with the numbers a little bit: 

As we know, the Football League consists of 72 teams in three divisions. The Carabao Cup consists of all 92 league clubs over seven rounds. In essence, they pay £119m for the rights to 3,312 live league games and 85 cup games. 

We know the Netflix format has been discussed with regards to the Premier League, but would it end up revolutionising the Football League. 

It would take just under 1,000,000 subscribers at £120-a-year (£10-a-month) to recoup the Sky Sports fee. It's just under 14,000 per EFL club. The club could also get their own advertising fees, etc. I would guess that the demand would depend on who would be in the Championship. I would feel confident that more than 15% of the required subscribers would come from the best 5 supported teams in the EFL, so this year: Derby, Forest, Wednesday, Sunderland and Norwich. If the product was good enough then general football fans would no doubt be interested, especially if the price isn't bad. The top clubs in the Championship generally pull over 300,000 viewers on Sky. 

The opportunity to have access to every single game, like NFL Gamepass, would obviously have a huge pull. This could also be run in conjunction with Sky, whereby the Sky games selected are blacked out on this Netflix format. You would then, potentially, be able to get a similar deal with Sky and offer this service on top. 

 The deal we've got with Sky is extremely poor, not necessarily the fee they pay, but the terms of the deal are so restrictive. Sky REALLY don't need to have the rights to every game and then decide not to show 90% of them. The cash boost to League One and Two sides, if they were able to offer this package, would be huge. It would really offer a breath of fresh air into the lower leagues.

The only issue could be that some fans would stop going to the games, although I personally feel that people don't go to games because they can't see it on the TV. It's a lot more than that. 

You mention NFL, and that's key in this comparison as they've offered similar things for years. It's important to note that they do not televise games in the local area (state) if the stadium is under x% full. This is how they stop the issue of nobody attending just to watch at home.

Finished 'Sneaky Pete' last night.

The Memsahib has never really watched Bosch, although she has read the books, so we might give that a go from tonight.

Bosch is fantastic.

Drunk or stood behind a stanchion?  ?

I’d have taken either. Hertha v Freiburg was the worst game I’ve ever seen. Union game was much better, woodwork hit a couple of times, no idea how it ended 0-0.

I'm jealous! I absolutely love Berlin and go there every few years usually in a big group of guys and girls. It's a really unique city and slightly anomalous  in that the character of Berliners is quite distinct from most German nationals. I keep thinking about catching a game there but I'm pretty much the only sports nut in my immediate group of friends so it's just it's still a bit of a pipe dream. I'm planning to squeeze a beach holiday before end of year if possible and then Berlin is the next trip probably in Spring 2021 so maybe I'll get the chance then. Any advice would be very welcome!

Of course, give me a shout and I'll do what I can. I was there on a stag weekend and we did Hertha on Saturday and Union on Sunday... saw no goals.

Couldn't agree more bud. Saw a short docco on Union Berlin and their rise and rise to prominence. Having found themselves on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall and having narrowly avoided financial ruin mutliple times. Their fanbase is the most unified I think I've ever seen without the over the top, manic, zealous nature of some Turkish and Latin American sides. They have a rallying point for home games a couple of KM from the stadium and they march with a full band and in full voice too all the way to the ground. It's pretty joyous stuff. 

I've been, it's beautiful. Stadium is picturesque.

Fraudiola shown up once again, brilliant.

Fulham outclassing Cardiff. They look the best team in the play offs.

As they should. Scott Parker has monumentally underachieved with that squad.

I started off on my laptop via HDMI, but can't get he sound to come through on the telly/av receiver, so have to make do with the ctrappy laptop speakers. Any suggestions? 

Regardless, I then went looking on the smart tv (I've hardly used the "smart stuff on it) and got on the DFCF site via the TV browser and it works treat - no delays, no fuzzy or jerky pictures (once it has been running for a few minutes). It seems that Rams TV runs about a minute behind Sky TV.

This works till about the 55th to the 60th minute, when the feed freezes, never to thaw again. Luckily I am armed with Radio Derby, and my son's SkyGo login!

Has anybody else been consistently frozen out?

Could just be as simple as the order in which you’re plugging your laptop in and putting the channel on. That said, some streaming services purposefully make it so sound doesn’t go through the speakers - think Sky does this.

I wouldn't fancy making the trek up to Grimsby a few times a week if I were him. Surely he's moved up there?

No idea for certain, but it ain't that far really.

Charles Vernam has decided to leave Grimsby on a free, with interest coming from L1 clubs of which Burton Albion are apparently favorites for his signature.

Makes sense for him, probably still lives Derby way and I bet Buxton has some level of relationship with him from being here.

Disgusting from Grealish. 
 

Bought this haul online. Lovely stuff. 

Perfect style to poohouse playoffs behind closed doors.

Classic forest this season. Let the opposition have the ball, bore them to death, fluke a goal, shut up shop, win 1-0. Easy.

I'll give it to them, it's predictable and it is working. But i've now watched Forest 10-15 times this season and haven't been impressed for more than about 45mins of it.

The most Forest game ever so far. Second best from the start, stonewall penalty not given against them, go 1-0 up.
