No, but fans of Premier League teams will likely require a subscription to Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon to watch all their games in September.

Would wager a lot would have Sky Sports already, amazon can probably get around with a free trial by creating a new email so just BT sport who don't have many games per month as it is. Point being on top of a stupidly huge amount they all receive per month as a club through tv money their fans get the games made as accessible as possible to them often likely at no extra cost if they already have Sky sports/Amazon prime etc whereas non premier league fans have to pay £10 a game for less quality. Just shows how shite the last tv deal was negotiated, if it was fairer perhaps champ clubs wouldn't be desperate for the £10 a game and lower league clubs would also get bigger portions.

Admin phantom Posted September 23, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Possibly a change on the horizon? I expect the Premier league sides are seeing the benefits of iFollow and see the opportunity to make a few quid.... TAKEN FROM: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54229967 Premier League clubs are considering ways of letting season ticket holders access matches not due to be broadcast live on television following the Government's decision to scrap the idea of letting fans back into stadiums at the beginning of next month. Similar discussions took place before the Premier League decided to make all of September's fixtures available for broadcast by its partners in the UK. It is understood substantive talks between the Premier League executive and the 20 clubs are yet to take place over how to proceed given Prime Minister Boris Johnson suggested it could be up to six months before fans were allowed into stadiums. The Premier League believes it is capable of hosting matches in front of socially-distanced crowds now but realises it is not an argument they can win in the short term, even if their lobbying of Government will continue. However, the clubs are wary about repeating last season's policy of letting every match be shown live on TV as it dilutes the product to rights holders. There is also the continuing financial burden of having no fans in stadiums for an extended period. The clubs feel making all matches available to season ticket holders is a way round this problem, although there is no guarantee the idea will be adopted. Football League clubs are using the iFollow service to stream its matches that are not shown on Sky TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next logical step for the PL has, for a long time, been the creation of it's own streaming service. Centrally hosted with all matches streamed live across the weekend it could be an enormous revenue spinner whilst allowing the PL to retain complete control of its product.

They make a compelling argument if you're a PL exec searching for some £££. They are doing fag packet maths without full knowledge of the finances involved, but it is compelling.

I recall a while ago Sky's monopoly was called into question. Interesting you should mention Spain, they have a much more centralised approach than 10 years ago- still not as equal as ours but more than it was! Sure it's helped the competitive balance there- 10 years ago there were enormous gaps in La Liga between the big 2 and the rest- not that Spain didn't have other good sides but so much cash went to the big 2 that it was a bit of a monopoly if anything- the Barcelona and Real Madrid squads 10 years ago were ridiculous however- albeit the first more organic, had more from academy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My team are West Coast so home games end after midnight. Too late for work. I can eatch the entire game next day without adverts. Love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Mr Popodopolous said: How would Premflix or whatever we want to call it, fit with UK competition laws? Been a decade or so since I studied competition law in the UK (or EU competition law as it was then). Essentially I would imagine that as the Prem would be selling it's own product there would likely be an exemption or way around it. Similar to how Bristol City doesn't need to worry about competition law when streaming Bristol City games. Competition law is generally only concerned with multiple entities providing the same service and how their relationships (be it co-operative or antagonistic) work to fix or influence a market to the detriment of the consumer. In the case of "Premflix" you'd have a single product, being "manufactured" and sold by a single entity. I'm really not sure competition law would apply.
