Personally mixed views on this one, usually I have a season ticket which I believe would work out roughly the same as the pay per view (per game). But being there is worth more with the fans, rather than listening to fake noise?

Myself my dad and brother (all season ticket holders) are talking about coming to mine and chucking in a fiver each to watch the games. Great! but then what if my mum comes along, which usually happens if our team are on sky sports and playing away. What about my brother wanting to bring the kids and partner. This breaks the rule of six... Now just to say I won't let this happen, but we can assume this will happen elsewhere.

Why not a fiver? The cameras are already there, they broadcast around the world, i'm struggling to understand the extra cost when logistically it shouldn't cost much more to broadcast in the UK.

If rumours are to be true- Leicester are the only club to oppose this! That is shocking in itself.

I love football, I follow it daily, it's my go to whenever's its on tv, be it premier league, championship or the women's football.

Whilst i write this the more i feel it takes the piss they charge this much (and answered my own questions), the premier league has enough money to sustain itself for years, the leagues below are where this pay per view money should be going!
