Wonder if the club are planning to release a streaming season ticket option, What with COVID and stadium uncertainty a regular season ticket isn’t appealing to the more casual fan. I might be persuaded to sign up for a streaming subscription though if they price it right?

I am in the same boat and would love the chance to have a stream season ticket.

Would also do the per per stream too if reasonable enough..... £5 per game?

Could be a way to generate extra revenue regardless of Covid-19....

City do it for a tenner and the quality is fine. The picture that is, not the football.

I would probably still go for that, but given the respective admission prices (I am guessing City is more!?), is a tenner too much? Would it be too much for people (given the pay per view uproar for the Premier League games recently)?

There's 2 of us and we don't do every game. Obviously it's difficult with covid but it's been well worth it.

Having said that when theyre playing OK and winning now and again it's cheap and when they're as bad as they have been tuppence is too dear.

To be fair a tenner is good especially if you’re in a household where 2 or more of you attend the Bulls. Whole house could watch it for a tenner. Still a lot cheaper to watch too, especially considering the savings you’d have from not buying food and drink that you normally would when attending.

It doesn't sound sustainable to me. I know the overheads from opening the ground to spectators may be lower but I can't see anyone pulling in enough cash from streaming to make it viable.

Single camera, almost no editing apart from goals using Radio Leeds commentary. City took 60k in December on top of season ticket income. ST holders get it for free.

Presumably this net of ifollow costs but I don't know for sure.

No, neither can I to be honest.

It's impossible to even try to guess just what the finances of running Odsal will be, though we were told it was totally unsustainable just over 12 months back and I really don't have a clue just how much the stocks/speedway input will add to the overall position.

As for the streaming service, I've only seen a couple of games from previous seasons and the quality from ourleague was actually pretty good, obviously not as good as being there, but it is what it is for the forseeable. I'm not really one to be too pessimistic but I'm coming to the conclusion that we'll probably see more games streamed than at the ground. Even when fans are allowed I can't see it being, in any way, 'normal'.

TBH I'm more likely to buy a streaming package for the NRL.

Re: Planning for 2021 : Mon Jan 11, 2021 7:29 am  

They usually video the game with copies for both Team Coachs and of course the RFL Disciplinary Committee and also the Refs Management. If live streaming is not a viable option a replay on the Bulls Tv should be doable.
