Uxbridge Red Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Now come on - is it just me - or has the website now ditched all pretence of being free to view. Right now the headline is the interview with SL about transfers etc - but there is NO indication AT ALL that this is a PAY TO VIEW feature - AAAAAAGH!When will the club learn that it has a product to sell - and its price to maximise exposure on a non story such as this via the internet is ZERO - that is no pence, pounds etc.I refuse to pay to hear SL defending his hike in attendance prices (by the way they are justified if we attract the players and perform at the level to stay in the division), how we won't hear about a transfer target until AFTER he has signed and how the east end STILL won't be developed (because CS is incompetent) until SL makes has another 50 mil in the bank.AAAAAAAGH - It makes me mad!

It proved that Steve really does care about this club. Try watching something first before you slag it off!And as Steve said in the interview...Himself and Keith Dawe don't take a penny out of the club all they do is invest in it. They invest a lot more then you do! So get down off your horse and appreciate that. Otherwise bugger off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try watching something first before you slag it off!He cant watch it, thats the point he was trying to make, you have to be signed up to world to watch it, which until you actually click on the link it doesnt make that very clear.

Why doesnt he cough up some more money to pay for world before slagging Lansdown off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 In fairness to the site. They do usually say when a video clip is free.If there is no mention of view this free in the title then you know it is going to be for World members only.Its always been like thatI have World access but it won't work on my work PC so can't tell you what Steve has to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to be observant to see the difference and it is annoying as he says.I've pretty much given up on the main site. It reminds me of a song (senior moment - can't remember the band name) where the lyrics are "52 channels of sh1t". There's a whole lot of content on the main site but its all sh....

Show Me The Money! Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well I subscribe to World purely for the goals and game action mainly.Player interviews are generally a waste of time and pretty boring though the interviews with Gary and Steve are usually worth to see from the horses mouths as to where they are taking the club.In fact from a player point of view I generally don't want to here players rambling on in interviews. I want to see there football do the talking, but thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxbridge Red Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for a balanced response to my original post. My point is that the site does not make it clear that the main headline link your about to click on is a pay per view option. When they appear as anything other than the main headline there is the video player symbol that you know means it pay per view. Its just a little bit deceitful really. Those of us who have Sky will know that if something you have selected to watch is going to cost you money then you have to make a positive selection decision to watch itI refuse to pay to hear / watch someone trying to sell me a something - a bit like the companies that only allow you to call them on an 0845 or 0870 number (like the ticketline!).

BristolCity1992 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 One thing that I don't like to see is the fact that all of the "news at the moment seems to be advertisement. Auctions etc. Only very minor though there is not a lot of news to go on about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 To be fair to World, it provides a useful service to us exiles who cannot get to as many games as we'd like and haven't a chance of catchin highlights. Plus, I don't mind paying for all the stuff you get with it, such as match commentry, old goals, full interviews (which can be very facinating) and other things. It might be a luxury f you live in the homeland, but out here in the backwaters it's a god send!and the links never look that similar to me, maybe it's just this one?
