Ah crud.

I’m lucky because I get them on a French subscription but essentially they’re making it more expensive to be a Burnley fan than, for example, a Yoonited or Liverpool fan.

It stinks.

I’m told the Brighton game will be brought forward. No details on the other two.

If streams were shut down it was nothing to do with Sky

It was said on Twitter that just 76 Burnley fans paid for the official stream for the West Beom game. Someone else tweeted they earned just over a 1k on subscription which would tally up with the 76 x 14.95.

No figures released. Anything seen on social media is pure speculation at best or just a made up figure.

I wouldn't have thought there would be a great deal taken on PPV games involving Burnley especially from neutral fans

How would they know whether anyone watching was a Burnley or West Brom fan?

The best ever take up was on the ITV Digital PPV channel. They showed Sheff Wed v Blackburn. The take up was zero.

Its not surprising after the WBA game. For a neutral fan it was a poor spectacle.

This PPV makes it more expensive for fans of the smaller clubs then the bigger clubs who are always on sky and BT and don’t have to ever pay extra. Although I am not paying for any PPV games anyway as I am not an idiot and I know the internet exists. Although I do have OK internet speeds, feel for those who don’t have decent internet.

It must cost a good deal more than £1k to stage the match. I suppose there is advertising revenue but are they staging these matches at a big loss?

NOWTV have offered me three months subscription at £20 per month. It's a bit useless though if few Burnley matches are going to be shown on Sky. I think I will just stick to watching the highlights on MOTD and YouTube.

For a Claret it was even poorer.
