Unan Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Got a few Premier league games coming up in December. Might be worth getting a month's free trial just before Black Friday to get all your Christmas prezzies delivered free and watch the games for nowt.

AshtonGreat Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Yeah I saw that Prime is now doing Premier League games. It's brilliant actually because not only can you get a free 30-day trial, as part of Black Friday you can also get three months' membership for £11.99 (reduced from £23.97) - and that includes unlimited one-day delivery, unlimited music and all the films and TV box sets. No-brainer! Thanks for reading, Jeff Bezos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting "what-if"/alternate history type scenario here- what if ITV won the rights from 1992 and not BSkyB? Some reports suggest that PL the saviour of BSkyB.

Alex_BCFC Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Yeh the free trial is the one for this season. No brainer for a month from today if you want to watch some extra Prem games. Shame you can't get BT Sport for a month on for example NOW TV. Would get it for Champions League knockout stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have had significant butterfly effects and not just in football! Game would've been very different I think Like what happened or not, and like the man or not, Murdoch really was a long way ahead of his time with the subscription model. He once said the Premiership was his "battering ram" in to peoples homes. Ultimately I think we'd have a significantly more balanced national game. Alex Fynn is a really fascinating man who advised BSkyB and the FA on how the future of football might look. He's said a lot about how he advocates for an 18 - 20 - 20/20/20 system with regionalised divisions at the bottom (more 'event' type games and less dead rubbers - more local derbies, fewer Crewe vs Plymouth type games), and how he told Sky what they wanted to hear rather than what would be good for the game. He believes that if ITV had had control of the game with the FA in a dominant financial position then England would've won the World Cup again by now, and we'd have had significantly higher attendances across all 5 of his proposed major divisions.

CyderInACan Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Just “switched over” to check out the production etc, wondered if it would be a bit gimmicky, but it all seems pretty standard fare. Didn’t see any of the build up though so not sure who the studios pundits etc are Anyone else noticed much different to the established Sky/BT shows?

Roe Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 All pretty standard from what I've seen so far. Same pundits/commentators, same presentation style etc. Kinda hoped they'd do something a bit different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 3, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Personally, whilst I am looking fondly backwards to the ‘old days’ before Sky money skewed the game, I have enjoyed some of the Sky coverage, in the pub, or at home. What I won’t be doing is buying subscriptions to multiple platforms to watch football - I’m fortunate enough to say I won’t be paying, not can’t pay, to watch all the games now and going forward isn’t going to be cheap. I get the football authorities trying to maximise income, but there must be a tipping point and for me it’s been reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
