uttoxram75 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It’s all a bit meaningless now to ordinary fans. I predict an upturn in attendances at lower league and non league clubs over the next few years as people lose any vestige of connection with the sanitised Sky version of the beautiful game.

alexxxxx Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 surely there's some diminishing returns on the amount of games you buy. after youve sold the top games, surely there arent that many people bothered about games like west brom v palace and stoke v brighton.

RoyMac5 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43002985 Quote The rights to show Premier League games from 2019-2022 have been sold for £4.464bn - with two live packages still to be sold. Sky Sports have won the rights to four tranches - 128 live matches - while BT Sport have one, comprising 32 games. The Premier League's last deal, agreed in 2015 and running until 2019, was worth £5.14bn. "To have achieved this investment with two packages remaining to sell is testament to the excellent football competition delivered by the clubs," executive chairman Richard Scudamore said. Sky will have first choice of every weekend match and will also show Saturday night fixtures (19:45) for the first time. BT will show Saturday lunchtime fixtures from August 2019 and have said they will pay £295m per season - £9.22m per match, up from £7.6m - across the three years. That means Sky have committed to £3.579bn - or £9.3m per game, down from £10.8m in the current deal. In 2015, Sky handed over £4.176bn for 126 fixtures each season - including the first Friday evening games and both Sunday packages - and BT paid a total of £960m for 42 matches...

JoetheRam Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Unfortunately this is still a good deal for BT and Sky as long as they have their subscribers. One day people will realise the 'product' is largely rubbish, available for free through a few quick google searches anyway and the house of cards will collapse.

Funny how CDs used to be sold for £15-16 each, i don't think anyone pays that now, although a lot of people now use legitimate downloads which offer much better value but aren't "stealing" the way Napster et al were. The move towards RamsTV models will surpass the Sky/BT model in the next few years. For general or occasional pl matches, i imagine people will buy to stream for a couple of quid but the xx per month TV i think will die off.
