I wonder how many fans pay

Unfortunately I've not had a chance to watch any of the Saturday matches, but got a pass for all the midweek games.

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)

Probably just me being cynical. It should be done but who knows when it comes to the league.

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?

It's not £10 Vs £15. It's £10 Vs a subscription to sky sports and £15.
I can't afford sky sports nor can millions of others. It's a big difference.

You could watch via now TV on a day pass without having a sky subscription. If you already have a subscription like many on here who still pay extra to watch Boro games that are streamed.

Many of the those paying for sky sports would have been going to the match and paying anything between £30 - £70, whilst they couldn't go they have made a big fuss of having the option to pay £15 to watch a live stream. Just seems odd to me.
 
Why should people sign contracts with companies so they can screw you for profit by you allowing them to bombard you with advertising?
I will watch a match like choosing to go to the cinema or reading a book. I dont need a subscription to Showcase or Penguin Books.
 
Don't you still have to pay the £15 on top of the now TV pass which is now a tenner a day? Its not £10 Vs £15. Even if I'd paid for a monthly pass that's still at least £50 a month more than I'm paying now. At a time when folk left right and centre are losing their jobs. I don't think it's hard to fathom why people were upset with it at all.
 
Given I live in the highlands of Scotland, I do every game, normally video but sometimes like today just the audio. I'd do it once the crowds are back, even pay a season pass for video.
 
Perhaps Rob could make enquiries, what’s the average buy in number, any plans to continue the service?
 
£10 x 10000 x 46 =£4.6 million.

Kerching!

Deduct £500k for streaming overheads but add on similar for unrequired match day crowd overheads.

Also, no Me Mark age. Priceless!

Matches were on sky box office no subscription required, just create an account on your device and pay for your event.
 
Got the first home 3/4 games free as I was in the ballot but they have since sussed out I was unsuccessful so my code stopped working for home games. So I have paid for every home game since that you had to pay for that wasn’t on red button and same for every away game since the season started. Enjoyed it as I haven’t missed a match this season, I get paid weekly so it’s actually not that bad really I am just classing it as a weekly bill. The fact some fo the midweek games are on red button is good.
