Premier League and FA's Plan To End Illegal Streaming Of Football

[balotelli's back pocket]

It boggles the mind how the premier league havent realized how much money they are losing by not having every game avilable to watch subscription based.

So what do they expect those of us unable to get to games do? go back to old days of it being hard luck unless you go

It would be great to be able to watch all games but I really think it would hit PL attendances if you could. It definitely needs to be more affordable and just one provider rather than the current set up which is a con.

Yes, now go watch Groxton United Vs Aylesbury City on a freezing cold afternoon instead

Then make the tickets cheaper. The clubs would get a cut of the money received from the service, and with foreign tv deals getting bigger and bigger, there is definite leverage

I disagree, the exclusivity of rights is what leaves consumers in this current situation
Imagine only 1 company being allowed to sell electricity / gas; the same is being done to football and just allows sky and BT rise the prices when they want

What you mean you'd rather be sat at home on your sofa, warm with a cup of tea than in the pouring rain and mud everywhere with some cretin screaming "LAUNCH IT TO JIMMY!" ?
Plastic.

I disagree.
People are already streaming, and pubs are crammed every weekend with football fans who don't want to attend the stadium due to factors such as cost and time restraints so they watch the games in pubs.
The rags were at home on Thursday, yet plenty of pubs within a few miles away from the Swamp were crammed with rag shirt wearing cretins cheering on their club.
The stadium was empty.
Doesn't this tell you that factors such as ticket pricing, trending in lifestyles now being different and so on are factors in why people wouldn't go to the stadium but want to watch the product.

Ticket prices were probably reduced for this match but people have got Into habits of not attending matches due to the extortionate prices of most matches... So they watch on the TV.

Decrease the price of attending the stadiums, stop ripping fans off, and offer an official streaming service that's affordable for all.
And the sport would maintain its popularity.

Keep it as it is and other sports will capture the imagination of next generations and they will shy away from football.

There isnt a coincidence why when I look around me at the Etihad today it's predominantly full of middle aged men.
The viewing figures for sports such as MMA have significantly increased in recent times, I put this down to accessibility of the product.
