How much are you prepared to pay for Football?

[Alex]

Id also add that Sky have decent NFL coverage, which is something Ive gotten into recently. So its more value added.

[Vermilion]

You would think Sky or whoever, would trial a low priced package for a year, just to see what the take up is, i suspect many more would get sky in their homes if it was say..£15 a month for everything.

I'm guessing here, but i would think they would make just as much cash with the extra amount of customers they would then have ?

Potentially population effects it.

> population = spreading the cost if they can aim for saturation.

Population is really irrelevant in today's society, you can just offer the service world wide like American sports do. I live in Denmark and can buy a season pass for no money, as can you or Americans or Argentinains or whatever. Can't see why the same couldn't apply with PL in the internet?

I just pay as little as is possible to be able to see what I want. That happens to be a paid for streaming service at about £3.50 a month. I can see all the games I like on there and it's excellent value for money.

I have no morals, if Sky or Virgin were £3.49 I'd do that instead, but they're not. I just won't get ripped off.

I'd watch the free streams but they are more hassle than they are worth most times.

[Alex]

I think offering a season pass for each team, but splitting the revenue evenly is a good model.

I would pay £10-15 a month for absolutely all Liverpool games. Friendlies, CL, Cup and League. Thats £180 a year tops.

It would mean abolishing the 3pm Kick off rule that all leagues have in place for saturdays though.

I pretty much flat out refuse to pay for an illegal stream. No idea where the money is going.

At least with Sky its a more educated guess.

Piracy is not a victimless crime.

Piracy is not a victimless crime.

Are you winding me up?

Who is the victim here? Some guy based in Manchester streams them from his house and I chuck him a few quick a month for the privelge of streaming it. Who have I wronged?

[Darkon]

I'm surprised you are willing to pay 10-15 just for LFC games, that is a massive outlay just for that. Imagine the price of all the PL

Looking at american sports, or the service I'm using, it should be possible to aquire all of PL and more for about 10-15 a month and you cut away all the other crap channels and stuff you don't watch.

I also don't pay for piracy, one thing is obtaining it for free, but for me it's wrong that someone makes money of it. Just like with movie/music piracy. And the money is most likely going down criminal networks pockets no matter if they sell you the idea it's a guy sitting at home. He wouldn't have the network required to do so.

With Sky you know it's going somewhere wrong? Oh that's much better

I have no morals about this. I did warn you.

At a guess there is 60 games a season, which would average out at around £3 per game. Not great money then.

I guess it does need to be adjusted to be inline with a fuller package. But it sits about right for me.

Its not going to something that is potentially illegal. They are morally bankrupt. But at least I know that.

As you say though, it could be going to some lad in a flat in Manchester. Its probably not, but it could be

Haha, I was being more than a little sarcastic.

That's where he's based and he has an English sounding name. I suspect it's some spotty teenager running it from his basement and probably making more money a month than I am
