Littlesh*t Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Just wondering what everyone's opinion is for Robin's tv for next season if they intend to do similar deals to this year? I personally wasn't a season ticket holder this year but this the options open to ST holders was pretty crap and the £10 a game was massively over priced so I didn't bother. I am not sure what other clubs charged and I know the club need an income but I feel that they would have sold a lot more at £5 a game. So basically just curious how many would pay £230 for all home games or £460 for all games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Until we can't get into the games, it's a great option. I'm not sure how £10 for a private stream, that's not available through any other source, is over priced to watch your teams games, at the moment.

Phileas Fogg Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 The price point is a tricky one. People are used to paying for Sky/BT packages where games would work out at far less than £10 a game so £10 for an isolated match does feel high. On the other hand, £10 for a ticket to a game would be low and this is supposed to be the next best thing even though it's an inferior product to Sky/BT. In theory, a household of ST holders could watch a game for £10 which would bring the cost right down. Not really sure what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems worse the tail eld of this season because there were so many games in such a short space. Next season they will be more spread out so won’t feel like £10 every 3 days.

Kibs Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I think £10 a game is over-priced for the product and I didn’t pay it. Over the course of the season, that works out nearly as much as my Sky TV subscription (which I have everything) plus Netflix. Hopefully this time they have time to think about monthly packages or something to perhaps bring the cost down slightly if you are subscribing/buying batches of games.

P'head Red Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 As someone who already renewed their season ticket for next season before all of this happened I will not be settling for just a replacement stream. I hope the club offer a few more options for season ticket holders, and not make those who take refunds feel like they're not letting the club down.

bcfcshorey Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I paid a tenner for two of the games on Robins TV. Ended up being able to watch all of them in the end without paying. Not sure if it was because I had an annual audio pass or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 It seems as if we won’t be allowed to attend matches at AG until at least October so if the club offer a similar deal to SC holders next season I definitely won’t be going for the Robins Tv option entirely because of the 35sec lag. I found it really irritating knowing a goal was scored before it was shown ‘live’ on Robins tv so much so that I didn’t bother in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate everyone's situation is different. For me living abroad to come watch a game with my boys, as I had booked for Sheff Weds, was expensive (£90 tickets alone). So £10 for 3 of us to watch a game. Yes I think its a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see alot of people going for the refund option next season if it’s offered which i think would really shake the club. This all just needs to hurry up and get back to normal doesn’t it.

Floatn Over Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I thought the Robins TV was OK to be honest and as said elsewhere it was improving towards the end, the alternative feed for the Boro game was disappointing but at least we were not abandoned. The pundit format needs tweaking perhaps, TM was very good and Lisa doing the interviews was fine, the odd ex player invited in however would be good. I will take this again as part of my season ticket until we’re allowed back. The individual £10 charge seems OK. The 35 seconds issue ? Really ....?

Red Exile Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm a TV producer. In my professional opinion Robins TV isn't bad, Lisa Knights is a good, professional, presenter, but the content looks to me like the cheapest possible thing you could throw together at short notice and call 'match coverage'. What it isn't is a product that you can directly substitute for a seat at the ground to watch the match. At the end of the season ST holders, myself included, accepted it as just that...I'm not sure I'd do so again, and I'm not sure that the club can assume that ST holders will do so without offering something with greater added value. I hope they are working on that. They'll need to sell it to supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I thought it was very good especially if they are going to carry on getting guests like Gary Johnson. The camera angle on Lisa Knights and the guests was a little awkward. I would pay £10 per game if I have no other plans but probably not organise my day around being in front of the screen at match time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Price wise it’s a difficult balance. As people have said, if there are there of you watching the stream and you split the cost then it’s fine. However, £10 for one person to watch a game on TV seems a bit much. It makes sense there would be a split in opinion on the value. Add to this the quality of football people were paying to watch. Let’s be honest, if the whole of next season becomes a write off in terms of fans being allowed in grounds, yet we are flying high and fighting for promotion, a lot more people will be willing to pay £10 per game to watch on TV.

Hunsupport Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 As an overseas viewer I can tell I never had any difficulties with the streaming: clear picture, never frozen, easy acces and payment (watched every game after the restart). What I don't understand ( I can assume it is because of some advertising purposes ) though I'm not complaining is why does a game cost £10 for fans in England when to overseas its only £5....

Ooooh look at me I have lots of technology. Turn the TV off, switch off notifications, don't wear your watch. It's not really that difficult is it.

I think this is the agreement the EFL clubs originally came for matches that could have been televised in the UK pre Covid19 as they would impact attendences. If anything I think the cost of watching on internationally will probably rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 The new season starts on September 12th in 7 weeks time. I have been looking online, but without success, does anyone know when the new season fixture list is released, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 My biggest concern with Robins TV is that i can't watch each single game due to Sky & international broadcasting. Well. I would like to watch the game anyway and would be happy to pay extra for Sky games (£10 per game) and international broadcasting (£5 per game). Sort it out.
