I can't make a lot of games for numerous reasons. (mostly away) I luv'd the fact that I could pay a reasonable price to watch nearly every match. I think I am a member on every team that has played us in the last 2 years' PPV site.

I know some folk will say , if your getting the match for 12.99 (for example) your not going to pay £20-£30 at the gate, but loads of folk can't afford that anyway.

There is room for all. Season ticket holders, ticket buyers, PPV viewers (sneaky innirz)

I'm sure I remember "someone" mentioning they didn't care about how many fans were actually in Tannadice, as long as they got (X amount) from Sky, Setanta,BT, or whoever were televising the matches at the time.

I would hate to see it go that way, but, with the season ticket numbers we already have and the ump t e e n fans like myself that go any chance they can get. It would at least make clubs a wee bit more money, that might not have been coming their way.

Och...yi never know.

I've got very mixed views on this. I get that some folk want to see their team via a stream when they can't make it to the stadium for genuine reasons. But the problem is that a stream can become habit forming even when you can get to the stadium and imo we need as many Arabs inside Tannadice as possible at home games.

FWIW Hesgoal is banned in Spain for this reason. No idea how many manage to get around that though.

Hesgoal have stopped showing the EPL, Champions league, Europa League. Dunno if they'll still show the Scottish games yet. Guess we'll find out soon enough. I'm sure folk with modded firesticks etc will still be able to get games.

Yip.... Fair point. To be fair to me though I only used it for away matches, and it might surprise you who charged the least/most.

I gave up my long standing season ticket a good few years ago now due to work commitments , horrendous kick off days/times, late changes due to TV companies etc. Yet , have only missed a few home matches in the last few years.

I know what your saying about streams becoming the norm, then it's easier to buy a few beers , a pie etc, and watch from home, but some of those folk wouldn't be going anyway.

The Hesgoal thing is totally different, you get everything for free, that's folk that can't or don't want to pay for anything at all.
And whatever country bans it means nout to anyone with a good VPN Not me of course obviously I would rather pay Arbroath £12.99 to watch their match than stream it for free and put a few pennies in their coffers, and I'm sure plenty clubs have made a few bob from away supporters paying to watch because they can't make the match.

Agree, and I often happily paid for the stream, apart from when it was those clubs taking the p!$$ and charging £18 or £20 for the privilege. A core of fans of each team will travel away regardless, and good on them. However, others can’t go for a number of reasons, and surely an extra few hundred paying customers (if not more) watching it streamed, benefitted many clubs?? Shame really, and a backward step imo.
