Seagulls Player

Bigtomfu · Apr 20, 2017

I've not indulged since the dark days of Sami's reign *shudder* but want to now and have a couple of questions:

Has the service improved?

Will it be worthwhile signing up now for £4.99 in the knowledge it will increase next season?

Do the Premier League eve have a similar arrangement to that of the EFL or does eet get complicated by us being promoted?

Any ideas?

Don't bother. Just cancelled mine as Barber has new plans for an alternative. To be honest i enjoyed Seagulls player.

I get a little miffed that they put so much of the content on YouTube for free, but as someone that lives overseas, it is invaluable. For me, I rarely have any problems with it, and for the price it's a no brainer (especially if you sign up for 12 months)

I guess a lot of the press conferences and interviews will be on Sky, and highlights of the games will be readily available online and on tv.

What you get which you can't get anywhere else:

- 1 or 2 press conferences before every game. Usually 7-12 minutes long. Always one from CH, often one from a player too
- Match commentary which you can't get online anywhere else.

What you get which you can get everywhere else
- Highlights (better quality on YouTube)
- Post match interviews - always on BBC Sussex's Audio Boom site

I like the fact that it's all in HTML 5 now which means you can play it on pretty much any device. I often catch up using the web browser on my tv which is nice.

But now we're going into the PL, it'll all be change. So don't subscribe now is my advice.

I'm sure we will be changing now that we don't have to use it

I really like been able to log into other clubs player and listen to there game commentary. Done that a few times recently.

I guess the other question is, whether anyone subscribed to Player will be grandfathered into the 'new' version (whatever that is) and if old content will remain etc - i can see us not moving across for a while.

How comprehensive, thanks for taking the time!

Will wait and see then I think.

I don't think you can at the moment - Seagulls Player - can't re-subscribe

Biscuit · Apr 20, 2017

The free highlights on youtube are nowhere near as good as the multi cam highlights that go on after game. Personally I think it's worth having.

If this is true, how much is it likely to be & when will it come into fruition?
I've always found SP adequate enough.

Def worth having just to look back over the seasons highlights even if you subscribe for a month then cancel.

BensGrandad can explain this.

100% this. For the modest cost Player has been pretty good value. Love the full press conferences and extended highlights, plus the ability to dip into other teams that use player. Less than a quid a week.

Me too. Also enables (currently) the ability to listen live (well, live-ish) to the BBC Radio Sussex commentary worldwide. I've used it without issue or faff in a number of different countries. Technically it seems a lot better now too. The press conferences can be pretty interesting (particularly the players, who are often a little less polished at giving the "right" answers, going off the script a little) and the highlights are great. Even better than C5's coverage (thank the lord we'll not have to suffer that next season!!!).

Sorry yes forgot the overseas bit. I've listened to a few games when working abroad this season and it's always been fine. Worth the subs for that alone.

Some of the internet radio things I've found a real faff or really hit/miss. There was one I was trying recently which said it was BBC Sussex but was actually Norfolk or somewhere... The SP takes away all that hassle. For me, as you say Dazzer, worth the subs for that alone...

Looks like we're coming of Seagulls Player now.
