Need to keep the money coming in somehow. Clubs like us won't last without the game day money coming in.
Why should season ticket holders get Cas TV for free yet others, of which there are more, have to pay? People paying at the gate pay more than a season ticket person so why the difference?

If it’s doable then everyone pays the same. As you say the club need to keep the money coming in.


People that have season tickets have paid in advance to enter the home games, I thought the difference was pretty obvious. Why should they pay again to watch the games?
Yep stupid thing to say lofthouse :-&

And it is for this reason that tigerstv or any other monetised streaming idea will not work; out of the thousands of season ticket holders we have at least a hundred will stream it live on the internet etc meaning nobody will need or want to pay the fee.

Human nature sadly.

Unless Sky come up with an idea. They’ll most certainly have business continuity protocols and may well right now use RL as a great way to fill the gaps.

Could give our sport a bit more prime time exposure 😃

£10 a game whatever your club, if possible. Just depends on the QoS it can offer. Me, I’d be happy with no commentary and just 3 cameras.

Isn’t this where insurance DEFINITELY comes in...
isn't the issue that the insurance for EFL football clubs and rugby league clubs doesn't cover Coronavirus?
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!

It depends on the level of insurance cover.
The Scottish Premier league have informed cubs there will be no pay out due to cancellations and to contact their insurers.

It would be ‘force majeure’ (previously act of god)I would have thought so depended on if it’s in insurance or not.

Exactly this. I would be miffed if I was a season ticket holder and had to pay.
