ralphindevon Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Its going to be a tricky one to work out for clubs. The 9 post lockdown games last season, 2 were on Sky, 1 I wasn't able to watch which left 6 on RTV. Which for the 5 home games I was due back worked out at nearly £20 a game I pay £529 for my season card, £23 per game. Mostly I'm keeping my card so I can be there at the match. The rest I'll pay a tenner as and when and really would like a refund for the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who probably did one away game a season, it’s so much better than a dodgy stream over Facebook, or Radio (although enjoy Owers) or just getting social media updates Indeed the best scenario (for me) was Radio Bristol (and the likes of Gary Owers and Chris Honar who i enjoyed) as the commentary, and on screen the Robins TV. That plan went out the window very early on with the wretched time lapse of robins TV being 2 or 3 seconds ( might have been 5 secs) behind real time.

wendyredredrobin Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Not sure why people are complaining about £10 a game. How many of us watch football on our own. In our case it costs £3.30 each for 3 of us to watch together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season card is about 580 (tbf not 100 % sure) = £25 per home game add the availability of away games = £12 comes down to per game Say Sky show us 5 times over the season = £14 P/G. if you already pay for Sky/Virgin etc. Robins TV = £10 P/G Robins TV per month £15 ,if they keep that = £2.50. I would think they will change this, or stop the monthly fee Seasonal £110 again, if it doesn't change = £2.50 as above They really need to try and come up with something fair for all. You add in to the equation all those affected by COVID etc, whether, job losses, reduced wage or whatever, there are a lot of decisions to be made.

westonred Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Before Covid BCTV Live video pass was £12.50 per month or £110 annually for fans watching abroad how can they justify over £500 a season now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted on another thread before, at worst it needs to be a flat rate for all. Sky don't come round for an install and say, 'Oh, nice house. We'll bump your package price up by £50 per month.' I'll wait to see what they come up with, but they ought to know they're on thin ice with some of us: John Lansdown is probably smashing the heels of his size 12 cubans down, saying 'offer looks fine to me. signed off.'

(Obviously no details are out yet.) £460 for Robins TV when an Adult season ticket in the Dolman (wings + renewing) is £440. (Yes 23 games vs 46 though.) Nah, not for me. Would you pay £460? What do you all think is a reasonable amount to pay for the entire season? I'll pay £200 and I'm happy to lose the "value" of the commentators, Downsy and any form of attempted "entertainment" surrounding each match in exchange. I’d pay a few extra quid to get rid of Downsy. Maybe I should start a crowdfunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 2 hours ago, DT The Optimist said: It’s a nightmare for all, club & us fans. What happens in the autumn when limited numbers might be allowed in the stadium. The mooted gate, to allow for distancing, is seat free in front, side, and behind, therefore would be perhaps 6k. So as ST holder you might be able every other game, if you had a mind to attend. Rationale if you can attend, will you still have access to a Robins TV as well ? All ifs and buts, and wait and see, but plans must be in place for gradual return. As a season ticket you weigh all this up considering your own best option. Robins TV was uninspiring , like football in general without crowds. All spot on. Until we know what the club plans it seems bizarre to be jumping up & down like some on this thread, though. For what it is worth I thought the picture quality was better than I expected & as someone who very rarely sees an away game, the opportunity to see them all was welcome. The commentators are truly awful though & I avoid the build up completely, though Lisa Knights & the couple of players they had on (Moore & Morrell) were professional & much better. This is a pandemic FFS, much of which is clearly beyond the club’s (& indeed football’s) control & evidently the planning for even small numbers to return at a point in the future is going to be very problematic.

bcfcredandwhite Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I was a member for the last 4 seasons (not a season ticket holder as I can’t get to enough games) and I was slightly pissed off that there was no discount for members whatsoever. I just had to pay my £10 same as anyone else and watch my membership run down. Needless to say I won’t be renewing my membership this season - what’s the point? I WILL be paying to watch the games though - I’m not saying £10 per game is a bad deal, just that it made my membership worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've broke even on the savings you've made against standard ticket prices I'm not sure last seasons membership was made worthless. I do agree that next seasons membership seems worthless given the present climate - I hope they aren't offering this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes my point even more. £5 less per game, or because I have Sky I potentially pay double. I know it's difficult for the club to put something in place for everyone, but that does not seem remotely fair. Let's not forget, there are ticket prices much higher than mine. As I said decisions to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Says home games free for season ticket holders, and a tenner a game. Would guess its just that. If City are playing Stoke at the Gate, home season ticket holders tune in as per last season, Stoke fans pay City a tenner for their access code. For most of us, we pay more than a tenner a game on a season ticket, so I would guess City will look at the difference between what you've paid and what you can do with the balance. Donate, refund, discount to that value on an away stream, stadium/shop credit etc... As someone else said, let's wait and see what they come up with.

The Constant Rabbit Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think a heck of a lot of people will: If 6 people normally meet up and go - 5 will cancel their season cards, and all go to the 6th persons man-cave after a few down the pub and watch it together. Whatever they decide it needs to be so affordable that people don't do the above. If they charge £250 then I'm sure 5 people will chip in £50 each and enjoy the pub, fish and chips and a few £1 cans at the designated watching house.....
