ha, beat ya!

why tell him the pubs that all he want to happen then if the football get banned from the pub, people that dont go to the match cant watch it. Then the club can charge what they want the season after because that is the only place to watch the game.

 

The price is only become cheaper because there is alternative places to watch the game.

 

I'm guessing English isn't your first language. Am I right?

The easiest way of filling the stadium is to remove 5,000 seats. This may well lead to some games actually selling out.

The club could then offer to reinstall the 5,000 seats for new Season Tickets holders.

An artificial way of generating your own Supply and Demand situation.

Or clear out every seat, when you get a season ticket, it is super-glued to a seat. Also, if you want to buy a ticket for any particular match, then it is purchased, also super-glued (or sellotaped) to a seat.............this seat would obviously be collected from you after the match, although if you are an ST holder, you get to take your seat home.

 

Hey presto, every match would prove to be "sold out" with every seat in the place being occupied.

I wasn't going to say anything.

 

Spider, you really do need to keep up. If I'd listed any open pubs on here I'd have been:

• Suffering the wrath of the Mods and Admin
  
• Suffering similarly the wrath of any board users who frequent said public houses
  
• leave myself wide open to legal implications
  

The Prince Rupert re-opens on the 1st of March

Please list, on here, all the pubs you know that show ???Al Jazeera??? matches in, say, a 5 mile radius of Bolton town centre. I will then compile a list of all the pubs & forward it to the club.

Please include the following:

??? Name of Pub

??? Road/Street name pub is on

??? District of pub (e.g. Astley Bridge, Horwich)

 

 

Yes, come on folks: make a list of all those pubs showing Bolton games. It'll save someone (usually Undies) having to ask if it's on in "a certain hostelry" etc etc.

 

Sky/the Prem have taken this issue to court on several occasions before, and lost every time.

The courts have decreed that the screening of these games is NOT illegal.

i read in the news recently that some pub landlord (not in bolton) had been fined ??5000 for broadcasting live premiership matches, i really think it is way out of order to publish names on here as you know traf the club and the police keep a close eye on this site.

Irony and sarcasm's really wasted on your Salford mob, isn't it?

Thank's to everyone who has pm'd me with their lists, keep em coming guys.

the greenwood once got fined for showing games

 

the brewery asked the landlord how much they take over the till when they show a match

 

the brewery then told them to keep screening games and they'll cover any fines

What's the plan now Ziggy?

 

'Illegal TV soccer' claims at pubs dismissed

 

CLAIMS that five pubs have been acting illegally by showing live Premiership matches on foreign satellite channels have been thrown out.

 

Bolton Wanderers reported the Black Horse, the Willows Hotel, the Volunteer, the New Cabin and the Morris Dancers to Bolton Council, claiming the pubs are close to the Reebok Stadium and that the televised matches are hitting attendances at the ground.

 

But Bolton Council said it would not be reviewing the licences because the pubs are not "within the vicinity" of the stadium.

 

And their landlords have insisted they are not breaking the law because they pay subscriptions to the channels.

 

Wanderers say they are now taking legal advice about the decision.

 

Under the Licensing Act, a licence review can be applied for if the law is being broken.

 

A Wanderers spokesman said: "We are disappointed with the council's response and are seeking legal advice and will be replying to the council in due course."

 

Previously, Wanderer's chief executive Allan Duckworth said the televised matches had become a significant problem over the past 12 to 18 months.

 

He said the TV broadcasts were also affecting a lot of other licensees in the area, who were not showing the matches, and claimed pubs which paid foreign TV channels for the games and showed them in the UK were breaking the law.

 

A Bolton Council spokesman said: "We can confirm that we have received review application from Bolton Wanderers and have responded to the club by letter.

 

"We have received no further correspondence from them as yet but at this stage we have stated that within the meaning of the Licensing Act, we feel the licensed premises are not within the vicinity of the interested party."

 

Last year, two Bolton landlords won the right to show live Premiership football in their pubs on Saturday afternoons.

 

The licensees were taken to court after Sky accused them of infringing the Copyright Act.

 

It followed a ruling by European football's governing body, UEFA, that outlawed showing live Saturday afternoon football, in line with wishes of the Premier League and broadcaster BSkyB.

 

Pub manager Ian Moss, of The Saddle, in Farnworth, and Enterprise Inns tenant Eile en Flint, who runs the Original Bay Horse in Horwich, argued that they had not broken any laws.

 

The said they legitimately subscribed to a broadcaster in another country which shows live Premiership football as games were shown across the world.

 

Both denied dishonesty and were cleared of a breach of copyright.

 

But a Premier League spokesman said: "There are no rights for the general bar trade to show football games at 3pm on a Saturdays.

 

"It is illegal, and if people transgress we will take them to court."

I had doubts about this pillock Ziggy by the seventh line.

1st line:- Allan Duckworth & Phil Gartside.

Half full with arse lickers like ziggy and co, who dont realise that it needs to be ??15 to get the boys out as they did at Ewood.

 

Whats the difference between dodgy tv and Sky?

Sky is ??44 a month , dodgy tv is free

As well as our fans not turning up I've seen Blackburn bring two, three, four times as many to ours in the past. Nothing to do with showing it in pubs on dodgy today. Cost, daft KO times and Sky Sports (not dodgy) are the major reasons why clubs like ours getting the empty seats.

 

Starve the football fan of TV football, put football back on Saturdays at 3pm and put the price at a level so that walk-up fans can make spare of the moment decisions to attend - Welcome to Life On Mars.

How is it every man and his dog can see this but clubs cant? (or do they care?)

 

The amount of empty seats today was an embarrasment.

yeh i remember filling that whole end?

 

or at least 3/4`s of it during division 1 days and the fa cup game we had that time

 

i think the main reason is because it was on tv that we only brought 1,500, and probably the same reason bolton fans didnt turn up

 

 

and our games are hardly a spectacle

I remember the game at Burnden on Wednesday evening 28th March, 1973 - in the old third division days - when the crowd was 33,010

 

(We lost that game as well!)

I was at the match; all of those who weren't have no justitification whatsoever, for criticising the attendance figure.

I thought you'd be watching it down the pub?

All of them? The ones who were unable to make a fcuking ridiculous kick-off time due to prior commitments? The ones who were caught out by the relatively late change of the fixture? The ones who are out of the country on hols?

 

Don't be such a self-righteous tit Alan/Phil.

A local derby in a promotion season in a ground with a larger capacity.

The previous home game was watched by 18,193 and the following one was watched by just 17,462.

 

So the Blackburn game attracted around 15,000 part timers. At least our current small fanbase of 20-22,000 is consistent.

put football back on Saturdays at 3pm

Far too radical, it'll never catch on
