No, but I would buy a "season ticket" which enabled me to watch the games.Quote:

I'd expect all clubs to pursue live streaming. It'll be interesting how the clubs cost the service and how they market it?Quote:

It'll also be interesting to see what influence the current TV deals will have on any live streaming developments. I'm right in saying City can't show live games on stream in the UK for 3pm KOs?
They do this for the Ice HockeyQuote:

So you are prepared to pay to watch games without any fans in attendance in the stadiums, would be like watching a training match.Quote:

that might dent their ability to pay for games.
I've paid to watch games with no graphics and no sound whatsoever. Believe me, you'll want to watch games as they happen. It'll be a little strange without the crowd, but I should imagine you'd get used to it sooner than you think.
I'd pay to watch behind closed doors games, no problem. I usually put games on mute if i watch them on TV, i find that i take much more in.Quote:

I think the law against showing 3pm games live on tv was relaxed a few weeks ago.
If all games are televised live next season I wonder if some fans will, after 85 mins, either turn off the tv or go an watch the remainder of the game from the stairs, to replicate their usual habits.
For the away games I’ll still be making a bit of grub up and putting a few cans in the fridge on a Friday night. Up early on Saturday, first can about 8am, pull a few chairs about two feet apart and wander up and down them, turning left and right to have a chat with my imaginary friends. Put a bucket on the washing machine, stand on it and have a piss when it’s on spin cycle. Have the upstairs telly on from about quarter to two while I’m downstairs having another drink, run upstairs to catch the kick off at one minute to three looking for a spare bit of space on the bed...........f*ck me, it’s the away games I miss:cry:Quote:

Will that mean they also then don’t get their sky and BT money.
It’s all one big mess and all about money.
i only ever buy the shirt at the end of the season when its a third of the price or in a charity shop
I wouldn't;t pay for anything. If we could only watch behind closed doors games on a stream, I wouldn't bother. football for me is about going to the game and mixing with friends. until that time returns I couldn't be bothered.
Personally, I’d struggle with watching a game without a crowd although I managed it during the 80s.Quote:

I got to say I have been working all through the Lockdown and I count myself as being lucky.
But when you work all week and the week end comes it's shit without something to look forward to.
I'd love it if the City were playing behind closed doors as aposed to no football at all.
It would only be a temporary measure.
Same here.Quote:

Football should just take a break until we can all go back. This kind of thing will only suit the Premier League clubs who will get millions of subscribers buying in. Sky and BT will have to offer a 'follow your club' kind of package. I couldn't imagine people wanting to watch games involving teams they don't support.
How much cash does 18000 ST generate for the club roughly? If the club said we need it to survive would you buy one as usual just for one season knowing you can’t go to games? A lot of lower league clubs and the odd former “model” run football clubs might not survive this.
Say we were top of the league after ten games in a behind closed doors league, would you buy one then?Quote:
