Football's priority should always be the match goer. If Amazon manages to win some semblance of control, which they're rich enough to do, they wouldn't need to move times at all. Sky has to have about 15 slots a week cos they can't broadcast everything at once to their subscribers. Amazon can. You might end up with an early game and a late primetime game; for major stuff, but nothing like the mess it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oomarkwright Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Manure spurs is good. 1-1 should be 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly know more than me about the situation, so I appreciate you informing me. I'll admit, I'm stressed tonight and used this as an excuse to lash out. I should have checked my facts before doing so. One genuine thought though: aren't Sky obliged by law to schedule games outside of the Saturday 3pm fixtures? Might a new law not be made to apply that to Amazon too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the concerns about dropping attendances that its in place for would probably still be very relevant at lower leagues. I think Amazon having every prem game streaming at 3pm shouldnt share that concern. Prem football tends to put bums on seats. Also, if they said "we are looking to broadcast every game like the NFL does" (which is their end goal) every game would have to be on outside of the blackout if it was enforced, which somewhat defeats the purpose? Have no idea what would happen with the Champ and below though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Liverpool v Everton is 2-1 after 20 minutes and Ive not heard a single opinion from an ex-player "analyst". Joyous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if that was Derby not a chance i would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more about the rights and the blackout period than technical capacity to show all the games. They used to show all champions league games on the red button simultaneously.

ThePrisoner Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I've heard a few whispers that Amazon didn't want to go for PL, but were essentially bullied into it by the Premier League for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't go for it again in the next bid. That said, they haven't half arsed it at all. Great coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Actually enjoyed that coverage, decent comms, no over dramatic crap and the picture quality was top. Really nice presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have spent a ton on it, not just the bid, but the amount of pundits they’ve brought in. The idea is to get people signing up for a free trial on prime before Christmas, then realising they now get free delivery on amazon, so ordering their Christmas shopping from amazon. Genius if it works, but very expensive if it doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is still a massive appetite for fans to go to matches, that wont change i dont think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
