SEMTEX Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 It's still wildly annoying that I have to bounce between Peacock / TV (Sling in my instance) to find a game. Just let them all play in the Peacock app, I beg of you my evil Comcast overlords. Even if I have to register my Sling subscription to show I have USA Network.

It's easily that simple, but I'm looking forward to the pro 3pm blackout to support lower league football matchgoing etc brigade to tell me how 100% correct they are and how the above is shit. Yes, fuck the lower leagues. The cunts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cunts It's not that, just feel for any fan of any football club that has broadcasted football matches blacked out at 3p if it's not picked up by one of your few channels when say - Fan A who used to live in Newcastle is now living in a different city and doesn't have the means or time to get to a match to see it live in the stadium. Particularly now with all this technology and on-demand access to internet based subscriptions and tv services. Even for a lower league game that's literally being recorded by a camera and potentially beamed somewhere, the fact that it's not available to see live in 2022 or 2023 for that matter is maddening.

Yep, it’s a tricky one, but I do have some sympathy with the Bob Lord position on this one. With streaming etc it now looks inevitable, as folks will just pirate it anyway. I’d be more comfortable if the money made from the extra streams was redistributed to the lower leagues - but then, we know why the PL breakaway happened, and it wasn’t for the good of football.

It’s a voluntary rule, UEFA allow the rule to happen and enforce if broadcasters go against it, but the football leagues and/or FA can ask to reverse it. The proposal is to scrap to rule and make every game open for broadcast, they want to appeal to Apple, Amazon, and Netflix, and to do a universal deal.

Yes but was the infrastructure there 10 years ago for global streaming of live PL, it is now given the rapid rise of FTTP and cable ultrafast coverage.

Aye. Sorry to say it but if I want to watch a Newcastle match then you’re doing that. You are either going to the match, watching on IPTV/pub, or sitting at home watching the scores on SSN. You aren’t going to go and see Hartlepool in League Two, or North Shields in the Northern League instead. If you don’t scrap the rule, sooner or later the Premier League will just change the KO times of every game away from Saturday at 3pm, then you’ll get the EFL doing that themselves.

GideonShandy Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 With Bournemouth (home ground capacity 11,364) just being sold for £150 million, you'd think PIF would be feeling pleased with themselves for having bought us at only £305 million.

From what I can tell there's no confirmation of what the proposal is yet, it's just an idea being floated that is a long way from being more than that. Apparently one current way to achieve it would be to move the schedule around so that less than 50% of the games kick off on Saturday at 3pm which would allow them to get around the rule. To actually scrap the rule they'd need the agreement of the FA, who would then have to apply to UEFA to opt out of it. There's likely to be lots of opposition to it changing from clubs lower down the pyramid and so there's no guarantee that the EFL would be allowed to.

But my Peacock app has every match as far as I know? I could just watch it all through there. Although I prefer when the match is on USA where there is slightly less of a delay.

The thing is the EFL will only listen its own members. If they can sell all matches at 3pm as a global package for say £400m per year over the estimated £180m per year they get now, then they’ll do it. It also opens up the possibility of the Premier League doing their own deal with streaming providers and almost doubling their income to about £10bn a year, of which the EFL itself gets a share. There has already been talk of the National League broadcasting games and I believe they have done some sort of trial on YouTube or are wanting to. All of a sudden you then have all the way down to steps 5/6 all broadcasting their games. It will happen, it’s just a question of if they are going to have to use loopholes 1st to get there or not.
