How much do you think Man Utd are losing per game they dont have fans in the ground?
How much does that compare to Burnley?
The broadcasting rights on the TV deal are shared equally and that has not changed.
All this is replacing is the clubs building their match day revenues outside of this deal. Will Man Utd earn more than Burnley? Undoubtedly but they would earn more than Burnley if the game was live and fans in the ground.
If the PPV revenues are shared, will there be winners/losers? I can't see that from the sense is that I can see all clubs potentially being able to earn more on PPV than gate receipts as we can only charge for 21k max on our home game - we could be getting 'viewing figures far greater than this' which we would be sharing.
Clearly the devil is in the detail but if the deal was for example - home team gets a higher % then we could still earn more money.
Nothing has changed other than we have probably given access to increase our 'stadium capacity' through this.
Fair point. I’ve had a few beers & it’s been a long week so can’t think about this too hard.
My comment was more about the model I was proposing in my post for future post-covid:
- All games sold to BT/Sky (vs current model that they buy different games)
- Subscribers to their services should be anole to buy different packages e.g. all games, favourite team home, favourite team away, favourite team home & away, a selection, or none of the above and PPV.
- All money from all packages then pooled and distributed evenly throughout season.
In my view, the additional TV income used to lower ticket prices. A maximum ticket price for each match home and away - £10 adults. And one match should be shown on terrestrial TV each week (club shown an even number of times).
Accept that in the short term the PPV system is more support for clubs suffering lower match day income and it may only be fair to allow each club to collect their Matchday revenue.
