TuffLuff Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’ve said this before but I would have been more than happy to pay into a subscription service rather than the current model, but I suppose it’s awkward to do if you’re allowed to show home games and not away. I think overall it’s a mix of a lot of stuff, it’s a bit much for people when it’s Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday. The performances do come into it along with a bit of blasé attitude to the club in general at the moment. Finally I think there’s a bit of a ‘meh’ attitude to football in general atm, said for a long time that mid week away games aren’t for every fan because they are usually a bit of a scrap and I’d say the exact same thing about football in lockdown. This season started out pretty good but any momentum the premier league gained was lost after the first international break. Its an ok game for the type of fan that likes VAR and retweets stats from opta or whatever but I think for the rest its essentially lost the element that makes football good, because the intensity/working class element has gone. Most games in lockdown seemingly pass the time and little else, it’s hard to pay £10 for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 To be fair, at times, even at ‘free’ it’s been too much. As others have said, I suspect the club would probably charge less given the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t really justify spending £10 every game to watch us but if we were playing well I’d probably find the money every other game. It’s an easy decision to make to save my money this season. Make sure it's the home games as our club will get a bigger chunk of your money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game I missed...Norwich, of course. That's over £100. I've barely seen us score and haven't seen us win. ...I'm still paying to watch tonight, though. Will do at the weekend, too. It might be crap football, but it's our crap football. Perhaps you should miss tonight if you missed Norwich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 14 minutes ago, GenBr said: I'd rather pay a fixed fee per month ala netflix. £10 per game is too much for me, but so is a season ticket. Spending £500 on football is a lot of money. Fortunately i usually watch it with someone else paying, do only have to contribute every now and again. With a monthly subscription people are less likely to cancel it to skip the odd month. Some will even keep it over the off season out of convenience. When paying individually, people will naturally be inclined to skip the odd game if it's on at a bad time or they have other plans. £10 per game is £460! Should the value of watching every game on TV be worth more than watching half of the games live in the stadium? Knock it down to £200-250 for the season (£5 a game, £15-20 a month) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I've put a hold on my PornHub subscription to enable me to watch each game. But I've got to admit, it was a hard decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Not got a strong opinion on it really,too many things to consider. I do have a strong opinion on giving even 1 pence of my hard earned to that odious little man Gibson,so I won’t be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’ve watched most of this season and I don’t mind the £10 fee as x3 you get a normal match day ticket. However as others have alluded to we’re currently paying £10 a match to get stressed, angry and depressed. Would be nice to see us score and win a match.

RadioactiveWaste Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 £10 is a bit too high given fans can't go to games. £5 would be a no brainer. A lot of people are just at the reality that the ten quid is spending that might have to go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 10 pound is definitely not too much....I would pay 100 pound per match just so I don't have to listen to that smug childish Radio Derby commentator.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 £10 seems reasonable to me and most people would feel the same if they were watching a winning side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyRam Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Rules and prices are set by the EFL. I'm sure the club would love to do more offers and subscriptions for supporters in all locations, but unfortunately it's all dictated by the EFL.

jono Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have some family stuff to do tonight so wont be watching. Nothing to do with form. TBH I want to see if there is a Mac effect and I always hope before every game that this time we will get the break or gel as a team. I'll be sad to miss the game. Looking forward to taxt commentary and highlights only tonight I'm afraid. The price is interesting. £10.00 I can afford but it grates. A tenner is a price point, you see 3 on your bank statement - it stands out. needs to be a level lower, A fiver might starve clubs of much needed revenue but the experience of a match on TV is nothing compared to live in a stadium. We need a half way house to tempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It's a tricky one for us as we will always pay it. However, we only have to pay for a few away games as the rest are covered on our season ticket and there are also two of us, so only a fiver each. With petrol snacks and match tickets we would easily have spent £90 - £100 today. It's a much harder decision for people who haven't already got season tickets as the matches are coming thick and fast. DCFC would probably do something about the prices if they could. I am sure they are grateful that they have such a strong overseas contingent tuning in on a regular basis. Maybe they should be grateful how tech savvy those fans are. ?

G-Ram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don't mind paying it. We haven't got fans in the ground so we are losing money. It puts money back in the club which we desperately need to pay our underpaid footballing heros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 £10 seems a bit steep to me, considering the stream quality. It’s far inferior to the Sky red button, even though the commentary/analysis is obviously better. £5 would be much more reasonable, and encourage more fans to watch. In terms of not watching making you a “plastic” fan, I’m not convinced. Some people, quite reasonably, might not want to shell out a tenner to watch us inevitably lose without threatening a goal. It’s painfully predicable at the moment. I mean, I’m still going to watch, but that’s because I’m an idiot. Can understand those that don’t, and it doesn’t mean they don’t care, they just don’t like wasting money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
