I get the points above but it's a new world we live in now and streaming is part of it.
People have got used to watching it at home. Ifollow have for a couple of seasons allowed UK supporters to pay for games that aren't 3pm Saturday (as this time has been specially reserved for years by the football league, although they are now thinking of changing that).
At a fiver, where a few people could watch it, was fine during Covid restrictions, but long term it isnt financially viable for the club. However they could put the price up so people could choose to watch at home wherever they live, or choose to go to the game. We all prefer to be there in person and if the prices are closer, the ones who can, probably will go. This is then an extra income for the club for those that live further away, or are away, or have mobility or other issues that mean they can't attend, it allows these people to support the club still. Some that can't afford to take their whole family right now, can still watch it and stay connected, hopefully to return in the future.
The EFL will go that way permanently, RL should look at it and consider it.

Thats sounds like a good argument FOR streaming?

I guess it depends whether those who might choose to watch it at the local club or pub would have otherwise attended the match, now I am sure there might be SOME that would do that but would it stop the great majority from attending? And for those that might choose to do that, would additional sales to people like myself who can't commit to every game but would very likely buy one if I knew I could watch the stream live or the same evening if I couldn't make the game in person make up for that?

For me, today is a prime example I could have attended and if I had bought a season ticket I would of gone. As it is, I've had a busy week at work and the game slipped my mind in all honesty. I assume I have to pre-purchase a ticket at the moment? It's not something I've looked into as I've had things on since we returned to Odsal, but I might try and sort a ticket for next week against Batley. Going to games is very much a habit and it is very easy to get out of the habit and find other things to do, it is up to the club to make it as easy and as attractive as possible to get people through the gates.

So, does anyone have a link for an online commentary, since I don't live in the UK? Thanks.
