Yeah i agree, its not about being able to afford this or not, it's about making a point , if this PPV bollox is successful it will become the norm! Its time to make a stand against the greed of Football in general

Totally, I think the intent of the poll though was to give the £15 to charity instead of paying for the subscription which is a good idea and a fuck you at the same time to the money men. I misread it the first time due to not having coffeed up enough this morning.
If fans of all clubs gave £15 to a charity instead of paying for the game would send a great message to the greedy money men who are ruining the game and rub some shit in their eyes as well.
5 people have now voted Yes 
that's not really the point though mate, people can't physically go to the games right now so they should have left it so that everyone could watch their club for free during Covid.
People are struggling right now, it's the timing which is the issue.
Imagine you've just been made redundant due to Covid (I know 3 people that have) and now your being asked to stump up £15 if you want to watch your club.
It's a piss take, just indicative of the greed of the game, and anyone that knows me on here knows I'm pro Capitalism anti-Socialism in a big way, but this is just super predatory Capitalism at its worst.
Nearly £500 raised alone this morning its gaining tracation fast.

Spurs fans will be aware of the controversy surrounding the Premier League's decision to televise behind-closed-doors games not selected by Sky Sports or BT Sport as part of the traditional broadcast...www.thstofficial.com
What is it you are saying? It is charity i'm not on board with, but you weasel.
Every home game I don't go to is saving me £65 at the moment.
In the current situation they should have the same number of televised games they normally would + fill the gaps in (not all games are televised normally) with PPV
It's amazing how quickly people have become accustomed to getting every game televised and forgotten how often games used to kick off at 3pm on a Saturday and no TV coverage.
If at any point all games go PPV I'll be binning the subscription to sports channels.
So for those who can't get to many games if they wanted to watch all of the PL games they would be looking at £570 , i wouldn't be opposed to PPV games if it was a reasonable and affordable price say £4.95 per game, Live football has already priced out the majority of Fans as they dont have the luxury of being able to spunk over a grand on a season ticket each season and can only get there fix from televised games, what we are suggesting now is that those less well off fans won't even be able to afford to watch games live on TV (legally) and will have to make do with the radio and MOTD?
Again its not about those who can afford it, its about collectively making a stand against the greed that is football these days, and if the PPV trial is a failure it will be discontinued, if its successful you may well get your wish in a few seasons where you can watch every game for £15, unfortunately there are some fans who cant afford that, and i'm on there side on this one.
Could you please try and say this again in English? I run it through Google Translate but all it said was "Andersen is a cunt" ?
Don't use google just ask me next time.
Why can't they just do the decent thing and keep all the games free at the moment? they have cameras at all the grounds so what are they losing?
Don't you think the footballing world should actually acknowledge that their is a global pandemic and the economy is going down the shitter?
They are still living in ivory towers.
Separate issue but linked Woolwich are now paying Willian a reported £250k a week but have gotten rid of their mascot and laid off a load of staff.
I mean, I can kind of see your point, but where do we draw a line and say enough is enough?
The thing is if they see PPV as being successful being the greedy cunts they are at Sky and BT they will make it the norm, and slowly more games will be on PPV , if this happens we will soon be in a situation where all games are PPV, what happens then to those who like to watch all the games on a super Sunday? It would cost £45 for the 3 games, add in your Fix on a saturday afternoon and you have £60 a week just to watch 4 games.
if the PPV experiment is a sucess the next thing they will do will be caterogise the pricing structure CAT A,B C next thing you know you are paying £30X2 to watch the NLD twice a year
Not paying a penny.
Does anyone how these ppv games work in relation to pub licenses?
Presumably its another large nail in their coffin as well.
Presumably its another large nail in their coffin as well.
Yep, that's what they did with the Boxing and the Wrestling
Going to be reasonable with you. Don't take it personal but if you can not afford it don't pay for it. Only reasoning with them.
He isn't saying he can't afford it, he is taking a stand for the people who are struggling right now.
Instead of coming with the "I'm all right Jack so fuck the rest" mentality
Mate have a word i'm not rich by all means. I understand but i don't think you do.
