What is going to happen to Seagulls player next season IF we are in the Premier League? I believe the current player is a Football League arrangement?

Correct me if I'm wrong!

Hopefully replaced by the clubs own TV channel. Most of the top clubs have one and beam games live to overseas supporters.

Will be interesting as Barber did bring this up a while ago

I believe the first thing you'll see when promotion is confirmed will be Mr Barber-Out burning anything and everything to do with Seagulls Player.

Just checked and Bournemouth still use the 'Player' template, wonder whether we are signed up to it for a number of years irrespective of league.

Didn't Barber say that he would like to make the games available via stream at a price (or season subscription) or something along those lines?

Id really love to keep JC and Warren around to commentate.
It'd be sad to lose them after listening to them for years.

I'm glad this question has been asked because I was wondering the same thing today. Whatever replaces it has to be better!

I hope we keep it to a point...just the other day I started watching all the match highlights on there starting from the earliest to now - just as a reminder of where we were and who we had compared to now. It's quite humbling.

If they can improve the overall product but keep the old matches, i'd be happy.

First? Maybe second...first would be to check the clubs bank account :moo:
I'm pretty sure (although happy to be wrong) quite a while ago, in a rather uncharacteristic non diplomatic answer, PB made it clear he wants out of the Player contract.

Most of it is on youtube anyway innit?

From the past couple of seasons, yeah - I was thinking more of the last season or two of Withdean, which I don't think have made it there yet.

All we (as users) have suffered from this collective deal be careful what you wish for.

The day clubs deal directly with their fans for TV rights and Live games is the day the Premier League becomes like Spain ( or Scotland ).

Some teams have a much bigger fan base in this country but with worldwide exposure the difference is increased exponentially.

A few top clubs could potentially earn more in a few games than they do over a season.

The logical outcome will be a European Super League and the current top divisions "relegated" to the status of the Championship if and only promotion is allowed.

Wasn't he talking about Akpom at the time?

I believe the Spanish contract has gone back to equal payments. A quick look at Sky shows 8 different live games next weekend at staggered KO times.

Of course all BHA game will be available on Kodi.

I believe the current contract with the seagulls player provider expires at the end of the year. They already have a new/better provider lined up for the whole of the football league.
