westonred Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 The way i see it : BCTV currently £15 a month 2 months left of season £30 - 5 home games left £22.00 £110.00 so if the club offered £70 either cash back or off next seasons ST price and the streaming service i think this would be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Having not used RobinsTV before, is this just a simple app you need to download to your smart telly, or will I need a slightly more modern laptop than the one I bought from Charles Babbage because I wanted to play that Pong game like all the other cool kids?

Unless you have a VPN, you can’t get live games in the UK. By definition, season ticket holders will 99% live in the UK, so the live games are a new service, which has been priced at £10 a game.

They are calling it a new streaming platform so they can charge the inflated price.. it will probably be the same platform only switching off foreign viewers only so UK residents can watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being the only season ticket holder in my household it’s about as much as I could have hoped for, I personally do not want any refund as I’m seeing more football than I probably would have if the season had continued, I wouldn’t have made it to every away game.

JackofromSanJavier Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I take it that as an overseas supporter, I'll still be able to see the matches on my laptop via my Robins TV subscription???? Am I correct? Spanish lockdown has been so much more 'policed' than what you appear to have had in the UK, so a little light relief in the way of City games is going to be most welcomed. Seriously, seeing (via UK telly news) how some in the UK have forgotten about social distancing..........if you had Guardia Civil on their case (as we've had in Spain) the level of p155 taking by many people would have been dealt with in an appropriate manner!!! Stay safe, all........I'll raise a cerveza or ten for my old man (one of the UK's 40k plus statistics) as soon as the first game starts.

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted June 5, 2020 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Update on what QPR are doing. Very simple and IMHO very fair. 3 options: 1. Waive refund and have the streams for free 2. Have a pro rata refund (4/23rds of the ST cost; they have 4 home games left) as a credit for future purchases 3. Have the same pro rata refund as cash https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/201920-season-ticket-refund-update/ Hopefully City will do no less.

Completely understand that different peoples circumstances will mean different views. Agree & feel exactly the same way. I know financially I am down on the deal here but as this is not of the club’s making the opportunity to watch the last 9 games is a fair offer in my case, though I do accept that in a household with 2 or 3 ST holders that won’t be the same. Also, I do think next season is a completely different matter, having already shelled out over £500, the option to watch those games on a laptop isn’t as good a deal at all and needs greater consideration.

Maybe the 'twist' is that for home games, you only get a single camera views, based on what stand your season ticket is in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted June 5, 2020 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 FYI, two more Championship clubs offering a refund alternative: Derby County Option 1: 17% Pro-rated Refund for 2019/20 Season Option 2: 20% Discount for 2020/21 Season Ticket Renewal Option 3: 10% Discount for 2020/21 Season Ticket Renewal Plus Free RamsTV Subscription for Home andAway Behind Closed Doors Matches Option 4: Vouchers for 4 x 2020/21 Season Home League Match Tickets Option 5: No refund required, please consider it my contribution to the club Huddersfield Town The Club hopes that as many 2019/20 Season Card holders as possible take up the option of the iFollow pass, but the option of a pro-rata refund will also be available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Best way to watch Robins TV is to have a laptop connected to your TV via HDMI. If you have older equipment, I guess USB works. If your TV is 20th Century, then you would have to watch on your PC monitor instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 This seems a little unfair of City not to offer options which include a refund - not all will take it but understandably some will. Let's face it, the quality and standard of the remaining games will unlikely be near what I paid to want to watch during 'normal times' and therefore I personally wouldn't have paid to watch these final games played out on TV to empty grounds with players potentially (and understandably) not giving 100%. Given how we as customers (not fans as football is a business) don't seem to have been offered refunds for a 'product' we purchased (which is no longer what I paid for), it seems unfair to me. I wonder how many people won't now buy season tickets for next season because of how this has been handled and therefore the club could lose out far more income than they would by refunding what's left of this season? Additionally the club could have won over more fans and put themselves in a better light by offering a refund as an option - which not all would have possibly taken up.

xerox6060 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don't particularly want to watch games on my lap top or my phone and I know other members of the family definitely won't, money back and I'll settle for Sky's choices and the highlights please.
