The only people complaining are those who were never going to see the game in the first place - and now have a chance to at £15.
The real "bad guys" in this are those on the field taking massive wages for little more than three hours work a week - on a busy week.
Maybe it is them that should be giving something back to the fans?

If all actual football fans tried to get into games (covid permitted) the grounds would not be big enough in most cases.
Those complaining are not just people who don't go to games.
Agree that the players are overpaid.
One of the main complaints is that all of a sudden extra games (that wouldn't have been televised in UK) are made available for £14.95 a game when previously they had been FREE.
One of the big bargaining chips the EPL agreed to in order to get the season re-started was that all games would be broadcast as crowds were not permitted.
It is interesting that both Sky & BT are refusing to publish the number of subscriptions for each match - they should be made to do so!
