Apologies if this has already been covered but I have skipped to the end of the thread. I have been quite surprised by the backlash at the £15 per non televised game. In theory this was brought in so people who would usually attend the games can still watch despite it not being selected for TV. The cost of each game divided across a season ticket or if you were able to get tickets as a non season ticket holder for the game would be far higher. Plus food plus travel. I actually don't think £15 is unreasonable when you consider that has been the standard charge for pay per view boxing for the last 20 years and that could finish in 10 seconds as opposed to a guaranteed 90 minutes. Surely if you are paying say £60 average in the premier league for a premium game at the stadium then £15 to watch at home is a £45 saving with no travel and food on top.
