ive been reading up some stuff on it, wonder if there is any chance of a break away happening due to 19 of them saying it’s rubbish. I don’t know if it is a good deal or not though.

The championship is an amazing league and very competitive, I’m thinking (wrongly?) if they can get better marketing for it, mid week games with better profile they could get even more.

Scottish deal on the whole is decent enough and an increase on the old one. Majorly hampered by being in direct competition for domestic rights with the efl and pl. You could effectively say it’s rights for the third tier. It’s a unique situation.

Scottish deal is a load of balls. But KW thinks it's ok lol.

You'll see nothing but Celtic Sevco away games, less Hibs v Hearts games , less Aberdeen hearts Hibs Kilmarnock at home for us on telly.

Basically sky want the 2 team league but it hasn't been the 2 team league they want for last 7 years.

League as good as it's been for years with decent managers and teams creating competition all through the league. Sky don't want that and won't promote that.

Like I said, a load of balls (unless they give us the full treatment of sky's positivity....Lol not a ****ing chance)

Efl deal looks to be ****e for the championship clubs with red button coverage of a **** load of games.

Not sure where they'd have got more from tho with one bidder.

Would rather be able to watch our game away at Brentford next Tuesday than not
11-20-2018 , 04:47 PM
Of course but clubs would rather you through the turnstiles.
11-20-2018 , 06:00 PM
Wales lose to Albania. Giggs must be wishing he still didn't turn up for friendlies.

Well, yeah, but at least for us 80% of the capacity is season tickets + away fans, so being on TV or not isn't going to make a significant difference

How did morata get a call for the national team? Wtf

Apparently it's possible to take a return flight to Kiev for less than half the price that it'd take me to take the train to one of our home games, what a time to be alive

I'm certain he doesn't actually know how to turn into cash, even after I told him to use ****ing google to work it out. Said he has them on a data stick btw, is that even possible?
Yes it's possible. It's called 'cold storage' keeps coins safe from online wallets or sites that could potentially be hacked. I assume he knows a bit more about cryptos than he's letting on if he has a cold wallet.

I put about £300 into litecoins when they where about £40 and thoroughly enjoyed the ride when they boomed last Christmas . Still got them though and my coins are now worth like £130

Not surprising. Off peak return to London is £70+ from here. It's less than 2 hour journey. ****s.

hello guys, havent been on this page for a long long time (bit of a gambling problem so had to ban gambling apps from phone and laptop ), maybe 2 years or so - i see a lot of people are still here!!

quick question, how bad are the restricted view seats at Goodison? as i brought some tickets Saturday for my father in law and they were sold as restricted view, ive seen some horror stories about being sat behind a pillar!

Welcome back!

Hmm, most horror stories arent from the Everton ground. Perhaps LO can reveal how bad it could get.

Seems like a gamble where you sit regards to the pillars.

Blimey Shocker, you don't get to waltz back in here and ask a question like that without telling us your thoughts on the girl with the pink hair.

Also, welcome back.

If you're talking about the away end, some of the restricted view seats are really bad - can't see half of the pitch bad. The photos MF has posted look like they're from the home supporters' seats.

There were pictures posted on the Burnley forum last year, I'll try and find them.
11-21-2018 , 06:55 AM
MON, Keane out.
11-21-2018 , 07:27 AM
Only picture I could find.

And I think that's one of the better views.

My friend tells me there a 1€-flights forth and back available to some cities, loads for 5€ to Faro so just meet up there with anyone you wish. Ridiculous.

Tell me these tickets are at like 25% of the regular price or something...50% at least?

I will not be shocked if it is like a 5-10% discount type of robbery either
11-21-2018 , 08:26 AM
Aren't away tickets supposed to be capped at £30 anyway? So I imagine it'll all be the same.
11-21-2018 , 08:44 AM
Yeah, I think they're the same price. Not 100% sure though.
11-21-2018 , 09:53 AM
Although my view wasn't restricted per se, the bloody pillars were part of the reason I moved my season ticket for this year, actually having leg room being another huge bonus
11-21-2018 , 01:56 PM
When away prices weren't capped, the restricted view seats were something like £2 cheaper than full when you can't see half of what's going on. Don't know how it's legal.
11-21-2018 , 06:06 PM
Seeing as we're still just about in the international break,

Doesn't Noel Edmonds look like Daniel Negreanu after he's been stranded on a desert island for 3 months.

Sounds like great fun. We should def get this restricted view experience next time I'll come to visit
