Thin end of the wedge. The numbers attending games would get lower and lower and clubs would simply fold
Exactly right. Opening up iFollow 100% would net far fewer new fans than it would take away old. Casual fans won't care enough to buy in large enough numbers to make it profitable, and hardcore fans would be either going or would be motivated enough to buy a VPN.
Meanwhile, the several hundred people in two minds to go at the weekend will have the option: 'I could go and pay £25, but then again I might just sit on my arse and watch it for a tenner, and invite my mates Barry, Harry and Gary around as well."
LCFC might have extenuating circumstances where there are more fans than capacity (at the moment), but the vast majority of clubs do not and on a decision like this it's a matter for the league membership, not individual clubs.
Back to Hortin talking shite, missing the action and laughing at his own shadow.
"HRRRRRRRGH HRRRRRRRRRGH SCHRWWWWWWWGH HRRRRRRRRRGH.... IN GLORIOUS SUNSHINE! HHHHHHHRRRRGGGGGGH. Thought's Thommo?"
"OOOOOOH handbags. My wife could tackle harder than that nancy boy..."
etc
for those of us who live hundreds of miles away they could sell digital season tickets. A physical attendance is not practicable. if they do it for oversea they could do it for us out of towners.
Genuinely, how does anyone know you live hundreds of miles away? Because of your username on an anonymous website? Also, it's unfair on others who don't live hundreds of miles away but can't get to the game. No logical or reasonable way of policing that.
