That is what Sky & BT are proposing to watch, on pay per view, any PL game not being televised. Would you pay it?

Shared between 3 people, probably, begrudgingly, yes.

Seems a bit steep, but I assume this needs to fill the income gap for Sky, otherwise the clubs have to hand a load of money back again?

How much to watch this for ex pat fans on their respective platforms? I assume nil in with their subscription price. UK fans shafted again.

Money going to the clubs not sky to help towards short fall of no match day revenue

Why would there be an income gap to be filled for Sky? They have a contract to televise X number of games, which they still can in their regular slots and would be covered by existing Sky/BT subscriptions.

True. I was confusing their rebate demand from the lockdown with the post lockdown and current situation where we do have football, but without any fans.

Palace game is already on Sky, so would be for the WBA and Spurs game. Would imagine the Spurs game would be a tv pick anyway, so free to those with subscriptions to Sky/BT.

I must admit I don't entirely understand why, when they were able to show MORE games, they were owed money!

NowTV allows 2 devices simultaneously, £7.50 each its ok

Never subscribed to Sky under contract, so few Albion games on it.

I still don't understand why they are getting a rebate? I am sure that their viewing figures will have been higher as a result of people being desperate to get football back and not being able to go to games or the pub to watch it?
