Sky haven't set the price, the PL clubs have. I think there's a bit of political games going on between the PL, EFL and the Government.

Whilst £15 is a pisstake, I can fully understand its a business and there's extra costs for more games to be shown live etc

Let's be honest, the only fans that are really missing out are the ST holders/ones who usually go the match.

Theres been enough disruption to football, those PPV games should be Saturday 3pm where possible. Not 12:15 or7:15 on a Sunday am/pm.

Thankfully there's no real appetite for PPV games in English football.

Even by sky's own model £15 is too much. If their games are on normal TV rights you can buy a game pass for £10 which does the whole day so almost always 2 games or something else aswell for less than this

£5 per game and people would most likely pay to watch their team

The big games will be on anyways

With these ones any season ticket holders should be entitled to watch the game for free as like you said they are missing out

Imagine if you paid £15 for West Brom 0-0 Burnley last night. Hopefully the idea dies on its arse sooner rather than later.

I’d have paid £5 not to watch it ?. Can’t see it will operate in its current format long term although I can see future where you can have a TV/internet season ticket.

It's completely stupid, no one in their right mind would pay £15 to watch a game on the TV, it's not even like you can invite your mates round to watch it over a few cans.
I'd love to see the viewing figures of these games.

I'm stupid!:LOL: I've paid £10 for each Watford game that's not shown on Sky/BT. I'm happy to pay it. Perhaps I'm o_O to pay that amount to watch crappy football!

£5 is borderline acceptable, £10 would make me want to vomit ?
Then again I'm coming from quite a bitter standpoint as my team isn't in the Prem, and probably won't be for quite some time ?

It’s not really a surprise - the threat as always been there with UEFA constantly changing the CL to counter it - whoever provides the clubs with the most money will win out . Not sure what it would mean for either the Prem or the CL

No one is brushing anything off - lost count the amount of times this has come to light starting back in 90 which is why they changed the European Cup and why it constantly changes. I certainly wouldn’t like to see it happen so I’m not sure what the “good to see Liverpool fans brush it off” nonsense is about - it’s not going to happen , we all know that

Or the beginning????. New grass roots teams will form and people will once again become interested. £10 matchday tickets and supporters will be able to go and watch their local town team.

Yes junior, you're onto something here.

Only fans from the city of each club allowed. Keep Football local and ban any hangers on,ooters or glory Hunters. You've gotta show your council tax bill for entry.

Does that include the players?
The manager and back room staff.
That would be interesting to see who’s best then!

Sounds utterly boring, closed shop league with no relegation, clearly promotion wouldn't apply should such an elite be formed, I feel sure interest in it, and therefore revenue streams, would soon dry up watching the same 2 or 3 clubs Winning the Superleague.....Games like Porto v Arsenal, would soon have no attraction when it became obvious it was merely a fixture to determine who finished 8th or 9th. In the PL in recent seasons the most interest in the final weeks has normally centred on the relegation battle has it not ? Take away that interest and you're left with very little.
