Kaizero Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Surely it would severely affect attendances if all games were televised for all clubs not just ours You blackout the local areas if a certain % of tickets haven't been sold. Not 100% sure how it works in the US but it's something like that at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Surely a lot easier in the US given the teams are hundreds of miles apart? Would massively affect attendances here. Efforts should be made to get more people going to see live football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Anyone got access to a season ticket and periscope? The signal in the ground is shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It's actually frowned upon here to blackout home games because match-day costs are expensive and with the way the economy was moving last 5+ years - some people simply can't afford getting to the games.

NUFCDoog Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yeah if anything there needs to be less TV coverage over here to actually encourage people to go to games. Along with cheaper ticket prices as well of course - twentys plenty and all that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Perhaps they should get people to go to the games by pricing tickets reasonably and making the matchday experience enjoyable? Y'know, rather than enforcing archaic television laws that persecute everyone outside of the city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Given the choice of even £20 a ticket or it being easily available on an NFL pass style system, it's likely a lot of people will choose the latter. Fully on board with persecuting those outside the city. There's always highlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If you must, you can just black it out for locals and rake in the funds for those outside the city. But nahhhh, let's just restrict it for everyone and fuck over people who have legitimate reasons for not being able to attend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Will forrins not be able to watch them all anyway, or does that only apply to British Premier League games? Matches certainly shouldn't be readily available in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 All Premier League games will be watchable. Only Championship games that are on Sky (potentially a few more if we're lucky). There's still no reason that someone in London shouldn't be allowed to pay to watch a Newcastle game if they so desire. There's no reason that someone in Newcastle shouldn't be allowed imo. Incentivise people to go to the games rather than just punishing those who can't. If the excuse is lower league football, then stagger the kick offs between the leagues, rather than just staggering Premier League games to maximise SKY time. It's only a matter of time anyway.

Foluwashola Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The latter suggestion would ruin Soccer Saturday and the 3pm accumulator. You're right though, it will happen and in all likelihood have a negative effect on the grassroots game. The population of Essex will be able to catch their Man U games though.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I want it to happen but I can see the argument about attendances as well. I have definitely not gone to a couple of games when they've been on TV, so it does happen. Slightly biased since it costs £120 to get a train up for the game.

Paully Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 We'll be paying £42 (well £43!) for our visit to Hillsborough - outrageous! Trust us to go down when they cap away ticket prices in the top flight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Semtex is basically saying what I have been saying for ages. Premier league games should be on a different day to lower league and non-league teams. Having Premier League games Sunday is the solution then having time between lower league clubs and local non-league clubs playing so that it's possible for people to see their non-league sides as well as their league sides. Make so that Premier League clubs have to sell out before games can be on TV, but all games can be on TV if they all sell out. Then lower league teams who arn't picked for TV can sell online broadcasts of their game to fans (but make it so that it's just as cheap if not cheaper to attend home games).

sugoinufc Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 what players do you hope will leave us this summer? Personally i hope this what is being considered. 1 keeper - can´t decide who? Janmaat. If Gamez, Anita and mbabu can do the job. (undecided) Sissoko. Gives us money to rebuild and he does not want to be here. De Jong (injury prone and can´t see him fit into the system...we have alternatives. Tiote (undecided) Gouffran - poor Riviere - poor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 We can't let Tiote go really, unless we sign 2 CMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 We can't let Tiote go really, unless we sign 2 CMs. Think we'll get an indication tonight if he's off. He's barely played in pre-season so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 From the few photos I have seen he looks like he has been working at a pizzeria since last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Can't really see Tiote being here too beyond next month, but if he does go we will be weaker unless we buy a proper replacement. I haven't seen much of Saivet, but he couldn't get in the team ahead of Tiote in the run in to last season so can't really count him as one we can rely on to do the job.

Yorkie Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'd like to keep Tiote and would probably have him starting in an ideal world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
