Even more staggering given its geo-blocked outside Japan. (all the PL social rights for goals and highlights are location specific/broadcast specific).
And what on earth do they think the pint is of that? Exclusivity, don't make me laugh. Anyone, anywhere and anytime can view whichever premier league goal they wish. The PL are so behind the times.

It’s probably something to do with the £5billion + the PL earn from the current three year overseas TV rights deal. Just ahead of the £5 billion that they earn in the UK alone .

Whoosh!

I am not talking about whole games or even highlights. Just the goals. What difference does stopping the goals from being shown in a location where the goals are freely accessible? Anyone in the UK can watch the goals from PL games in a number of legitimate ways. No point whatsoever blocking any goals.

A couple of years back I saw a WBA fan use social media stats to demonstrate that they were clearly "The Albion" and it was fair to say we were not even a close second. Might be interesting to re-run that one now.

Although I get the point you are trying to make, what @chaileyjem said is still true, each broadcaster only has the rights to show footage within a certain region (even if the broadcaster has local deals across multiple regions), that applies to any video package, from full matches down to goal clips. They'd be in breach of contract if they didn't put geographic blocks in place.

How come Palace have such good numbers?
Reaching the much hyped EPL 4 years earlier.

The gap’s closing, these are old numbers 4.5 years ago.

They've been in the league a long time. There are a lot of caveats to these figures.

If Albion hold their position they will increase in large number. A large percentage of overseas based 'fans' are glory hunters.

Like a lot in the UK. I guess.

Am I the only one who has not got a clue about all this media stuff given I don’t do Twitter, Instagram or Tik tok. And as for Facebook I hardly ever bother as too many people just love posting the most inane drivel about themselves.

We've been doing social media better recently too, chapeau to the social team.

TikTok is amazing for growth, its algorithm allows someone with 0 followers to get 1,000,000 views and likes and you can then use this to drive traffic to your other platforms and hopefully the online store.

The Tiktok of Mitoma's header now has nearly quarter of a million likes.
