February 11, 201511 yr And these clubs still lose money The only way they won't is if they reduce wages Then they don't get the players Wages aren't coming down Tickets aren't coming down Aye £35 for tickets at Hull v Villa last night That's ridiculous for a Tuesday night match between two shit teams Edited February 11, 201511 yr by DirtySanchez
February 11, 201511 yr Are ticket prices that bad in the premier league? Attendances keep increasing, so fans must be happy paying the price. You could build 1500 new 3g pitches per year if the premier league put aside a very small percentage for a legacy fund.
February 11, 201511 yr we might be getting to a point where the clubs can do something about wages there comes a point when players cant get better deals elsewhere id guess most of the highest paid 500 players in the world are in the prem should that not reduce the pressure on clubs to keep upping wages? but even if it does, it would be naive to think the folks who own the clubs wont be looking for something back on their investments so theyll be having first call on any profits

February 11, 201511 yr I'd guess people at bankrolled clubs like PSG are amongst the top earners, the level we will dominate is the average 100-500 range where twats like SWP will be in there.
February 11, 201511 yr why will it be half empty? 22 of the highest paid players in the world will be on the pitch So why do City have to offer incentives to get people to turn out for a vital Champions League game?
February 11, 201511 yr i thought we were talking about a prenmier league game between swansea and bournemouth as an aside, you can pay 100 quid to get on the waiting list to be offered a city season ticket for next season, if you like
February 11, 201511 yr i thought we were talking about a prenmier league game between swansea and bournemouth as an aside, you can pay 100 quid to get on the waiting list to be offered a city season ticket for next season, if you like I don't even know why you're asking the question then. If people can save a few quid by watching the occasional game on telly, they'll give the less attractive fixtures a miss. I don't know what City charge for season tickets but if they're struggling to sell out Champions league games it suggests that their supporters are already picking and choosing their games, based on what's available on live telly. If they weren't competing at the top end of the Premier League, it would probably be the Premier League games they were picking and choosing between. I don't remember them selling out their stadium that regularly before the Arabs turned up.
February 11, 201511 yr I have neither. They're not moaning about the investment, just that none of it finds it's way back to the fans. Let's see how attractive the 'product' is when there's a half empty stadium watching Swansea take on Bournemouth. that would probably suit sky as most would probably instead be at home watching it on sky more viewers = more advertising revenue as an aside Accrington Stanley tweeted that the deal works out at £10M a game, which would pay their annual wage bill for the next 20 years
February 11, 201511 yr do we know what sky make from subscriptions? we know they need football but can they afford to have it we know they cant afford not to have it
February 11, 201511 yr do we know what sky make from subscriptions? we know they need football but can they afford to have it we know they cant afford not to have it my bro (not the one on here, another one) worked for them doing high level database consultancy shit and that on which they collate viewing, marketing and advertising data etc all the money is in advertising regards the sports, the subscriptions are only a very small part of the revenue obviously the more people they have watching the more they can charge for ad space - as well as on ssn and all that which is why, i believe, they are always be happy to give you a deal or knock money off to keep hold of you, the subscription pricing doesn't matter so much i pay £5.95 a month for all my streaming purposes, fuck em
February 11, 201511 yr I think this is a bit beyond Sky's means. They will now need to charge much higher prices for ad slots for the Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal games. The Swansea/West Brom type games will still be touted around for fuck all. Eventually, the advertisers just won't cough up. Give it a few years, but I think they may be struggling.

Some financial expert bloke on the radio said the same thing this morning Reckons Sky have paid over the odds because they can't be seen to lose their 'product' to BT So as a result they will be making cut backs in other areas to finance it Think they also said Sky's share price has fallen on the back of it

Advertising revenue not critical to Sky, it's all about subscription. Edited February 11, 201511 yr by Whites man
February 11, 201511 yr With all the money that's flying about in football, there is no excuse for every medium to large town in the land not having decent pitches for the kids to play on.
February 11, 201511 yr A lot on here suddenly become socialists when it comes to redistributing the Premier League's money.
February 11, 201511 yr They recon 3b of it will go to HMRC in players PAYE tax deductions over the 3 year period (including the foreign part) so no bad thing Anyway, it won't last forever, the Internet will do for it as it did the music industry and is currently doing to the film industry Danny G can't understand why folk pay for sky when they can just use on of his dodgy boxes and watch it all for free The breakthrough will come when someone can explain in simple terms how these bloody dodgy boxes work. As it stands they might as well be Enigma machines.
February 11, 201511 yr The breakthrough will come when someone can explain in simple terms how these bloody dodgy boxes work. As it stands they might as well be Enigma machines. I "heard" that some streams on the weekend are now that good that chrome casting onto a large flat screen is not far off HD quality. All Premier league sat 3pm KO are screened plus a couple of Championship and some scotch. As I said if thats the case why pay?

Apparently Danny G (conspiracy theorist extraordinaire) is an expert on how to get the best out of the service.

Aye and it's not dodgy as I pay for it In Canadian dollars So its not even a uk crime or owt

You lost me at streams I'll stick with sky and carry on moaning about the death of Ceefax

You could build 1500 new 3g pitches per year if the premier league put aside a very small percentage for a legacy fund. 3G or not, it could certainly improve facilities at clubs down to Turton's & Eagley's level and below so that young grass-roots players could be brought through - forming a better quality & broader base for the Prem to rest on.
