City vs. Arsenal live on OS for members

[SalfordCityBlue]

Soon it will be login to see the videos if you have membership. There are a few on here who would rip the videos and provide them though if it came to it.

That'll never happen. OS is a showcase for the club...

I can see them adding value for members with new stuff though (live EDS game etc.) and in the future maybe allowing us to buy an away season ticket to watch every game live or something, but that is a rights negotiation or two away.

No doubt they are testing the water for something here, but it will be in addition to, not a replacement for current output.

We gotta bring in some ca£h somewhere, Platini's spoilt it! it will be a membership thing one day, haven't we got a new big cheese in-house to look at this stuff?

it's on ESPN, by the way.

Is it a problem if it becomes members only? Shouldn't the people who buy membership, be it Blue or Superbia, be entitled to extras like free live streaming? I highly doubt the every day interviews and features will become pay only until/unless we ever start a proper TV channel.

I think everyone appreciates the sheer volume of footage we get from citytv etc. hell i'd pay £10 a year just for access for all the content.

I think extra content for members would be a good way to go.

The first step towards everyone being charged to watch videos on the official site

Yes ....

it's only a matter of time before a 'small fee' is requested for live screenings , just a matter of time!

It's nothing to do with that at all. People need to engage brain before slagging the club off at time's...

ESPN has paid for the rights, to put it free to air would breech the deal, to allow a select members club to watch it is a way to allow fans to watch..

what else will they be allowed to charge for thats worth watching exactly ?

We are , of course , already aware of that , but ....

if , as you say , ESPN have paid for the rights .... then what right do City have to air it at all ????

i know that but i probably will because what they show is good i aint complaining but i always thought what they provide is brilliant compared to others clubs and they charge

i just think this is free for members is the 1st step to being charged
