Yep - and it clears up the League Cup game as well.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Let's end this bull**** about stopping it when crowds return though.

 

[Greenwich]

I completely fail to see the logic of not allowing clubs to stream weekend away matches. Am I missing something?

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

That are screening away games. They don't come as part of your season ticket as free unless you pay extra.

 

[nowthen]

Focus demand on the left??

 

[TeaCider]

Hmmm, going to have to judge whether I want to pay for these weekend away matches or not.

There are currently 14 away matches on weekends that aren't yet on Sky, unless I've miscounted, that would be £140 on top of the season card cost.
But I suppose I wouldn't be watching them otherwise.
Also ignores that the option to watch may disappear during the season if we deal with the virus well enough.

 

[Greenwich]

That are screening away games. They don't come as part of your season ticket as free unless you pay extra.

Cheers, I'd failed to read the line 'within a season ticket package'!

Pity, was hoping that the club might offer a half season home and away streaming package.

 

[Malaguena]

Yep - and it clears up the League Cup game as well.

Any idea about whether Boro are going to do the overseas season pass this year Rob ?

 

[rob_fmttm]

Sorry, I don't know. I will pass this to Mark Motley and he might be able to find an answer.

 

[atypical_boro]

So we won’t be getting “credit” again for “missed” matches like last season.

 

[Otto42]

Would it be worth the club offering packages for non season ticket holders and away games rather than just an individual match option? I could see this as being a possible revenue stream ahead of fans being allowed to return in any significant numbers.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

They don't know when it's going to end so they can't Otto.

 

[Otto42]

They don't know when it's going to end so they can't Otto.

I guess so, but they know September at the very least is going to be fan free so could offer a monthly package perhaps in a Now TV style?

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Great. I'll happily pay £10 per away match if the home ones are part of my season ticket
Will this include league Cup matches?
Will we still get credits for matches we can't attend too?

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Do we just go to the home team's site and pay a tenner for our away games , and is the Shrewsbury match part of this?

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

I would assume you just use Riverside live like last season.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

In terms of revenue going into the club, this season at around £500, if I watch all matches and cup games, will be the most I've ever given the club. Last season ticket before I left the area was £180 I think.

 

[TeaCider]

Do we just go to the home team's site and pay a tenner for our away games , and is the Shrewsbury match part of this?

Sounds like cup matches are all £10.

Would have hoped for a season ticket discount, like it is for those we could actually attend, but doesn't look like the case.

 

[Chappy112]

Has the pass for overseas viewers gone then?
