It's getting late and I think you've misread a few games a week for a few games a month.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I'm a Chelsea season ticket holder. We haven't had to pay anything for this season so I've £900 in the bank if I can't attend home matches this season, but I'm not watching the PPV match this afternoon. £14.99 is too much and, as others have said, it sets a costly precedent if this Sky/BT approach succeeds to gain some traction in the PL.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It's the Premier League (including Chelsea) who opted to do it this way. I understand that only Leicester City opted against it.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Well whoever decided to go down that road have made a serious error and I hope very few opt to watch these games.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I think the thing to bear in mind is that they're games being made that are in addition to the ones you can normally watch with the Sky/BT coverage, which means fans get more if they're prepared to pay more. I think if this had been introduced in a normal season it would have been seen by many as a positive, but it feels like too much for this diminished experience. I can't imagine anyone watching more than one PPV a week, not at £15 a pinch

The worrying thing is,as others have pointed out,that it becomes the normal and then the big clashes will be the ppv games leaving just average matches on the sky and BT sport's channels.

It's a shame, you missed a cracker.
BTW I didn't pay £14.99, nor would I.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I don't think this PPV approach would be good for BT or Sky either. If successful, the Premier League could then just bypass Sky and BT and sell the matches itself to the public on all platforms including smart TVs and PCs for those without a pay TV subscription.
This would undermine Sky Sports and BT Sport and in turn limit the benefits of buying a bundle of broadband and TV from one provider.

Totally agree with you, Den, I'd be cancelling the sports package if that happens, in fact, I'd probably cancel the lot as it's the football that keeps me with Virgin more than anything else.
