So if they are streaming Saturdays game it should be available directly afterwards. Nice, thanks. That might do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) By the way.... Kickoff countdown #23. FINALLY...nailed it. Maybe a couple or three el Jimador shots of the game? I don't know. Just saying... Edited October 23, 2019 by Cheeta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people don't need a laugh track to tell them when to laugh. When the humour is obvious, I'd prefer not to have the smileys. Oddly, on the rare occasion, where I think the humour is obvious, and put in a smiley, to make sure no one responds seriously ... someone does. Which makes me suspect, it isn't that smileys are necessary - but there are other issues. Edited October 23, 2019 by nfitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) The sums involved on this are definitely not chump change: $144 x let's guess 2000 per team on average x 7 = $2,016,000 Edited November 1, 2019 by Ozzie_the_parrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the maximum cost, which most don't pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Like a lot of things with this league there is no transparency so far as to who is foregoing revenue where this freebie is concerned, but common sense would suggest that it is more likely to be the league rather than Onesoccer unless the latter have decided to be a charity in a Canadian context rather than a profit making business. Do we know what Onesoccer's price structure will be for next season yet? In the absence of that info it seems reasonable to use the number quoted by the Wanderers for a back of an envelope calculation like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It'll cost you over a £1,000-a-year (~$1700) to watch in the UK.

My point is that virtually no one is going to get 12 individual months of subscription at that total price when an annual sub is $75.

PaulV Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's just marketing. They're not lying, strictly speaking, and telling season ticket holders they're getting something worth $144 is more significant than telling them just a two-digit number.

Watchmen Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This seems like some dangerous ground to tread. Either people already know it's actually only a $75 annual savings, in which case it's a bad look. Or it's a new customer, and you're implanting the notion that your product costs $144 a year. Since "word of mouth" is such a powerful marketing tool, I'd be concerned that if a non-season ticket holder asks how much it is they'll say $144 a year, a number everyone agrees isn't worth it. I suppose there's also another option - that they're getting ready to add more services/leagues to try to boost the value to $144 a year. With EPL and Champions League already off the table (and at the price of $150 annually) I'm not sure they'll be able to pull that off though.

Why would I pay additional money when I watch home games in the stadium and away games at the pub (where I spend minimum $30-40 each game). You don't rewatch the match later? I usually do. I usually watch the last match Valour's next opponent played as well and a few others beside (mostly on impulse) so for me I'll always get value from OneSoccer. Oddly enough, I don't really visit YouTube or the cpl site unless someone links this or that. Always a struggle measuring value. CelticTV costs $250 or so for what I watch and I may not get it this year (have to make up my mind in the next hour or so LOL) just because the damned thing STILL won't work on my Playstation4. What effing year is it? DAZN on Playstation? Perfect. Bloody brilliant. So what's it going to be this AM, Villa/Liverpool or Hibs/Celtic? I've already paid for DAZN, and I watch a bunch of their other content besides Britball so that's the cheaper answer. It'll be $30 a month to get CelticTV from here on but if I don't no Celtic for me this campaign. Who am I kidding? Going to spend the money it's just a matter of how long I hold out before surrendering. Thanks, Ted. Talked me into it. Always costing me money. kmacphee, ted and RS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
