CANARYKING 634 Posted August 22, 2020 Daily Mail are reporting an agreement with Sky and EFL for free streams for ST holders and £10 per game for casuals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Seems fair enough - I’m sure the ‘Casuals’ will be able to find their own free streams should they choose. Tbh I’m not too sure whether to bother coming for matches until it is relatively back to normal, I’m not sure that travelling for 3+ hours each way to sit miles from anyone in a quarter-empty sanitised stadium is really what I think of as ‘fun’. But I daresay when push comes to shove I’ll put my name in the hat with everyone else! Edited August 22, 2020 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do i want to go to a quarter full Carrow Road sitting with empty seats around me.....not fussed so probably why i have booked a couple of holidays before Christmas without even consulting the fixture list.

Feedthewolf 4,788 Posted August 22, 2020 Yeah, I have to say I'm not that fussed about attending matches with the reduced capacities if I can watch for free. Things are really tight financially at the moment, so the opportunity to save money on our season tickets without losing them permanently is quite attractive - especially when I know I'll be able to watch all the matches live, and probably with friends and family who I wouldn't be able to watch with in the stadium.

Capt. Pants 4,090 Posted August 22, 2020 So these £10 a squirt streams, will they be of better quality than the freebies? Quality streams rely on someone to broadcast the game on TV, why not just let the ST holder/paying fan watch the TV broadcast? I watch streams all the while, quality is variable to say the least, so not sure I would want to pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,455 Posted August 22, 2020 £10 a game is a bit steep- wonder if they might offer some kind of stream season ticket- £400 for the whole of maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take it or leave it, but nobody has a gun to your head. I'm not offended, just pointing out that 80 quid a month is quite a chunk of money for something you can get for 100 quid for the entire season if you have a VPN and use the same company. As I said, I'll take it, at the vastly reduced price. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No swearing, no flying off the handle, no elongated rant, just that it was a rip off when I can get the exact same service for 20% of the price with a VPN. You're accusing me of getting "offended" easily, yet you're crying about my entirely innocuous post. I think there is definitely a snowflake round here but it ain't me. Get a grip, you utter weirdo!

Think a TV season ticket sounds a good idea but £400 would be a bit steep . It would only cost £460 on a pay-as-you-go basis ( although there'd be at least two cup games too ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dodgy stream providers have struggled with iFollows protection in the past, and most never really bothered with the effort involved because the numbers interested in watching are so much lower than the prem. With iFollow apparently having further improved their security and protection - and if season ticket holders are going to be given free access- the numbers won't make sense for any of the dodgy sites to bother with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,349 Posted August 24, 2020 As a point of comparison, £10 a game is more than NowTV charges for an EPL game. That does sound a bit steep to watch the likes of Luton, Wycombe etc. Additionally, if I then wanted to watch all the home games, it would cost me £230 total. That’s a lot less than the price of a season ticket, sure, but still strikes me as quite pricey to watch a stream every 10 days or so rather than being in the ground, watching it live and feeling the atmosphere etc. If they do some kind of season pass It might be better value, and personally I don’t have the time to watch every game anyway so picking to watch a game “on the day” suits me fine.

......and Smith must score. 1,304 Posted August 24, 2020 What’s not to like about this ? Able to see every game free and a bonus for supporters who have a long journey to get to the ground only to have to watch it in a pretty sterile atmosphere. You can’t normally beat being there but however it’s dressed up watching football live this season is likely to be a very weird experience. To reward their loyalty I hope they will include Members in the scheme which would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,265 Posted August 24, 2020 I don't mind the club utilising my £837.00 paid upfront Season Ticket for me to witness a glittering and exciting 2020/21 season of live behind closed doors quality streams.....What's not to like?.....Well worth £40.00+ a stream. Anyway, I'd only waste that ST money on jazz mags, sweets and panda pops.....Oh, and luvverly lap dancing divas..... Alternatively.....I could be an entrepreneur, demand a rebate of my ST money, go onto the auto-trader website 'commercial vehicles section' and hopefully purchase an old or well used but functional and roadworthy 'cherry picker'....Then on matchdays and when we're at home, park up at the ground between the Barclay and that Premier illustrious Hotel and watch our games live.....I'll maybe charge a tidy sum for two other troo loyal fans to accompany me in the platform cage for that ultimate live viewing experience?.....Unfortunately due to size of the cage and social distancing and SWL and NWL weight restrictions, our jolly chubsters, portly pink 'un posters and pleasantly plump and big-boned Canary fans sadly can't be considered for this uplifting experience.....Although, if you're one of Norfolk's canary supporting resident stick insects, you're more than welcome......I'm also considering taking the cherry picker to some away fixtures if their local authorities give me licence to extend outside their stadia?....But away passengers/supporters travelling in the cab must not smell of rotting cabbage, stale wee wee or bring their sugar beet sarnies to consume on the journey.....

Yeah this is my thinking. Right now I pay £30 a month or so for Sky Sports. On an average weekend I have access to 4 live Premier League/Championship games, so for that £30 I'm getting about 16 games to watch. Paying £40 for 4 games in a month, even if they are Norwich games, doesn't feel like brilliant value. On the flip side, lack of ticket revenue is going to hurt the club and if this helps then so be it. While I get people not wanting to pay it, I think dodgy streams/vpns that will deny the club much needed income isn't the right thing to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
