I think I got confused about when UK users would be able to stream live games - so for us (UK) it's audio only this season, and some live games from next (19/20) season? Believe so, don't quote me on that. I thought it was this season but think I got my wires crossed as news outlets are reporting it to be next season.

You're not the only one, I could have sworn that they said at one of the fans forums last year - something to the effect that UK subscribers would be able to stream some of the live games "next season" (at the time) IE 2018/19.

PrivateDerby Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I pay for audio monthly and have done since Ramsplayer, has anyone had any problems? I take it we don't need to do anything and can log in and press play as normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritty Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think it's very good value personally. And I can't on the one hand want us to pay up for decent players and their wages and then on the other hand complain about being asked to help fund that. Given the boated squad we have, I'm not surprised we are having to increase prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans seem to think the club can run a professional service for free and that the club owes them something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe fans would just like more clarification as to why their current subscriptions are currently being turfed up and replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have seen a lot of fans saying that season ticket holders or audio subscribers should get the pre-season friendlies for free. LITERALLY.

Nah I think the league has come to an agreement with Sky Sports to bring forward some of the elements of the contract - Sheff Wed are promoting that they will be showing games to UK this season. I think the club will put the games on PPV or on a monthly basis because they can't guarantee the number of games they will be able to show before the season starts. If we are flying I imagine we will be picked up by Sky a lot and not available to stream online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I paid an annual subscription for audio last year but as I went to nearly every match I never worked out what I got that non-subscribers didn't. Everything I watched seemed to be free anyway. I do find it all a bit confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are flying I imagine we will be picked up by Sky a lot and not available to stream online. https://www.efl.com/iFollow/ A brief snippet follows, In a second development, and in what is a first for English football, some Sky Bet EFL matches will also be made available to watch to supporters within the UK and Ireland throughout the 2018/19 season via iFollow EFL Clubs will be able to live-stream in the UK and Ireland any league match via their respective iFollow (or equivalent) service that takes place outside the blocked hours of 14.45-17.15 on Saturday afternoons and that is not broadcast live on Sky Sports. Fixtures taking place on Bank Holidays or Easter will be unavailable for streaming. Sky Sports will have the right to stream the same Championship fixtures to subscribers across their interactive and digital services. The interesting bit is the last sentence, how will Sky stream those fixtures and will they undercut the club's price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Good to hear then, was sure I heard it was this season but all the news outlets said next season. Weird. Back in the South Stand this season but midweek games are a complete no go to get down for, finally be able to watch from the armchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being that as a ST holder & audio subscriber, I and others have already paid considerably more into the club than an overseas subscriber has. Therefore, being surprised that WE were to be charged for the friendlies, yet overseas subscribers could get it for free, doesn't mean some of us expect "everything for nothing". Ok? Ok.

Therefore, being surprised that WE were to be charged for the friendlies, yet overseas subscribers could get it for free, doesn't mean some of us expect "everything for nothing". Ok? Ok. Overseas fans didn’t get them for “free” though, all live games are included in their monthly subscription, that’s what they signed up for. If you work it out as 5 games a month they pay £2.50 per game. It’s like saying we get our seats in the ground for free after purchasing a season ticket. I paid £440.50 for mine this year, I knew that when I purchased it only entitled me to entry for 23 home league games, that’s £19.15 a game. FA Cup? Nothing. League Cup? Nothing. Pre season? Nothing. Yes to watch online it works out cheaper if you’re outside the UK, but I guess the club have to try and balance it right so it doesn’t become so cheap online that people prefer to stay at home and watch. Those who are genuinely out there in Spain have no chance, added bonus for the club! If you bought the £20 package for pre season it’s only £1.50 per game more than those outside the UK paid this month which isn’t that bad. Or £2.50 if you subscribed to the audio package as well this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 @David yes I can see both sides of the equation. However @SunnyRam was implying that people who have actually shelled out more than he/she in total were somehow expecting 'something for nothing'. IF the friendlies had been free to view as a 'gift' for ST holders then I don't see how somebody paying £150 for access to 40+ games could have had any issue.

I wouldn’t have any issues if I got a free shirt as well whilst we’re at it as I’m a season ticket holder, Mount 10 on the back as well please ?
