I wonder how many fans pay

As someone who lives too far away from the Riverside to attend home games, and only sporadically gets to away games (work is also a factor before anyone accuses me of not being a real fan), I've wished for years that I could have the ability to watch streams like this. I'm very happy to pay a tenner to be able to watch these games from the comfort of my own home, although of course it's very sad and frustrating that fans can't attend at the moment. I'm disgusted when I see Boro fans asking on here, or on Twitter, for illegal streams when the game is so readily available online - from the club itself - at such a reasonable price.
 
Remember the days when you could estimate the crowd to within a dozen or so from a quick scan of the stands five minutes before kick off?

Jumpers for goalposts.
 
There we quite a few people who were complaining about prem club fans having to pay £15 to watch a stream for game which would not have been broadcast under the current arrangement, whilst we happily pay £10. I now see this has been changed.

I wasn't sure what people were complaining about was it the price? I think making every game available during these times has been an excellent move.

Some people seem to want it for free, some were willing to pay £10 like we do and some were happy paying the £15 (but not many by the sound did it) to be able to watch the game.

I also find it strange that season ticket holder who will get a refund for matches missed but also get a free stream, (good for them) but I would have thought from an economic sense it perhaps should have been minus the stream price at at reduced rate such as the price for overseas viewers, surely season ticket holders wouldn't object to that it would they?
 
As another one some distance away, I have been pleased to be able to watch every game home and away since football resumed. Even paid for the stream when the game was on Sky red button, as the stream is such far better quality than one camera and no replays, despite the two buffoon commentators.

They're not kicking left to right. Anyone can see that unless you're watching on radio!
 
I have a pass from the club for upfront season ticket renewal...worked great till i paid to watch the Brentford Saturday away game before the International break as they arent covered, and then my pass I got from the club stopped working...took 12 emails for the streaming guys to sort it....kept saying I had the wrong pass, or it hadnt been paid for etc etc, so I missed the Norwich game last Saturday and finally got my pass working at 7pm on Wednesday evening when they renewed my code..
No more buying away Saturday games for me im afraid...the stress 😥
Too old for all that 😊

Yes, at Ayresome park, only to find the official crowd to be about 5k less at certain games😉
 
I have paid for the away games that I have not had access through season ticket.
I haven’t had any problems obtaining the stream and as mentioned earlier it was far better than the red button for Bristol City game.
 
I think it would be worth the club considering keeping this going when we return to the stands - especially away games - and if the club can make money out of it.
Speaking for myself - work frequently gets in the way of midweek games and I`de be happy to pay a tenner to support the lads and the club (y)

I'm sure the EFL would have to approve that.....
Ive no idea.
Notts County in the National League have a deal with iplayer where they charge 12.99 and allow viewers to add a donation.
I dont know about all the ins and outs - but in this modern day tech - just how much do Boro get from TV broadcasters and radio?
Not much?
I hope they let us know how this enforced experiment has impacted fans.....and income.
Speaking for me - its a plus - yes please (y)
