Just reading that Premier League games not selected for broadcast in October will now be available on a pay-per-view basis.
The five fixtures per round not already picked to be shown live, will be available on BT Sport Box Office or Sky Sports Box Office, priced at £14.95.
Clubs have agreed this "interim solution" to allow fans to continue watching their team live but so far it only covers October.
Not sure where that leaves us - most of our upcoming fixtures seem to be 3pm Saturday kick-offs which are normally not broadcast so it could be that we're looking at coughing up £15 a match for the next few weeks.

Not me MD, not when free streams are available.

I just think this is the best way that the greedy b'stards at Sky and BT can encourage mass breaking of the social distancing rules since, at £14.99 a pop, I can just see one person paying for it and then 20 of their mates piling into their living room to watch it. I bet that'll be happening all over the country.

I'm saving a lot of money from not being able to renew my season ticket this year because of C.V., so I'll happily pay £15 to watch the mighty Villa, plus a lot of our games are on Sky anyway so there won't be too many I'll have to pay for. I used to watch away games on dodgy streams but the delay and cutting out gets too annoying when there's a high quality legitimate alternative.

Oh wait is sky sports box office only available through sky tv, or online? I only have that free sky go thing that a pal gave me.

Yeh there's plenty of free streaming sites. Like anyone in there right mind will pay on top of there subscriptions already for extra games to be shown. A fiver then yeh fine il pay it or if the clubs are getting a huge slice of it then fine but if its just sky and bt raking in extra dough they can suck my footballs âš½ï¸.

Absolutely bang on NV, £5 and I would be onboard, but lining these money grabbing "bar stewards" pockets no chance.
The world is a mad place, why help its ruination.
