I have mixed feelings on this.

I don’t like watching football on TV and rarely do so, I only really watch live and highlights on free TV. I have never subscribed to Sky as I do not like the brand, and not just because of it’s obvious bias against City or the way it screws up match times for those of us who attend games.

On the other hand, I would not expect to turn up at the Etihad, or the lower league grounds I go to in the quest for the 92, and get in for nothing, so the actual cost does not seem unreasonable.

Should be outlawed. This is not free competition.

They are already getting advertising money .

Close the fekkers down and let netflix run it without any bloody adverts -, if it is fee based .

Otherwise that useless fat lump in Downing street should revoke their broadcasting licences.

How much of the £14.95 are the clubs getting?

All of the PPV money goes to the clubs. Sky and BT are getting no extra revenue for these games.

Apparently Leicester were the only club to vote for season ticket holders not to have to pay.

Shame on you City

Home games should be free to season ticket holders.

None season ticket holders and away games £3. That would be fair in my opinion

As mentioned this exorbitant price will encourage groups of people to club together to watch a game.

Good old anti social distancing...

Season ticket holders who are committing to continue next season when fans are allowed back should get some benefit to their loyalty

Far too expensive to watch the shit games. They should be paying us.

Be interesting to see who they choose in the next round of games to be shown live on Sky/BT. If they elect not to show the ‘big games’ and instead price them on the PPV then it will be the beginning of the end of the big money for the PL.

Fans will simply not pay and walk away and without paying customers what then?

They wouldn’t be that stupid, would they.....
