Neil interviewed and featured at the beginning and end. Here’s the link for those interested, hopefully not behind a paywall. https://www.thetimes.com/article/9550262b-3091-4a4a-8d4a-3aff32a85c78?shareToken=da031dfec943da2737760e8d97d998d2 Seems a small amount to mess everyone about with the kick off times lower attendances then lost revenue from fewer away fans travelling and the money the money lost from not being able to broadcast the game yourself . 400k will soon get eaten up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lt.

So nobody is any better off in relative terms. We get roughly enough money to enable us to buy one more player, and so does everybody else. The players will get paid more, and every club will continue along the same path they were on before. I'm sure there's more to it than I understand, but from the outside I'm not sure who gains from this apart from the players bank balances.

BOWTUN BAKED Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 £400,000 ÷ £30 ÷ 23 home games = 580 adults per game It makes no financial sense to me as with the movement away from 3pm Saturday & being able to watch it on the idiot box, well, I think we'll make a loss on the deal.

Would have thought they can charge more for live games for advertising on that ribbon thing we have going around the ground and may be they get extra sky money each time we’re on . Apart from that it’s a shit deal if you get a couple of thousand season ticket holders not turning up for home games then beer sales take a hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor in food and drink as well and you can quite quickly see this being a loss maker. You can see from some of the chief execs they're thinking the increased exposure on sky will soon turn them into the next Wrexham though.

Leyther_Matt Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Cracking deal for the majority of our division though, and ultimately they’ll have held the power overall in that sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
