Conor Skelly 2 Posted 07/07/2012 at 17:31:25 So you'd rather rip Everton off then, Peter? Dave Wilson 3 Posted 07/07/2012 at 17:33:17 Is right Conor.What chance do we stand? Dave Roberts 4 Posted 07/07/2012 at 17:59:19 If you want to watch the six games then £18.99 is a bargain. If we continue to bemoan Everton's lack of a proper 'business plan' then refuse to pay tuppence for six games then as supporters we aren't doing our bit either.It takes two to tango! Andy Peers 5 Posted 07/07/2012 at 18:05:07 I will be buying the 6 game package and think it is a great deal. Not sure how anybody could object to such a low price and claim they are a supporter! With a mindset like that no wonder others think we are a small club. Keith Glazzard 6 Posted 07/07/2012 at 18:14:45 I was quite happy to pay the ETV subscription and get the lot, and that came with a warm feeling of supporting the club too. The other way round feels more like being manipulated. OK, so £3 a game, rationally, is fine. But consumers don't always make rational choices.I'll check, of course, but is there any problem about being outside the UK - Spain in my case. Andy Meighan 7 Posted 07/07/2012 at 18:48:53 That's not a bad deal, that... unfortunately I'll be away for a couple of them. Oh, by the way the league table is looking healthy — even at this early stage of the season! Ryan Holroyd 8 Posted 07/07/2012 at 21:26:24 Does anyone know if you can watch the games, via the official site, on an iPad? Drew O'Neall 9 Posted 07/07/2012 at 21:47:22 RyanI watch evertonTV on iPad and there is also an app which they don't usually keep that up to date with highlights so don't know.On the basis you can see all the video on the evertonTV site on iPad I don't see why they would make it Flash just for this but I wouldn't bet my house on it.. Jamie Barlow 10 Posted 07/07/2012 at 21:50:22 What time will the Indonesian games kick off UK time? Drew O'Neall 11 Posted 07/07/2012 at 22:02:30 CORRECTIONYou CAN'T watch it on your iPad/iPhone.. check out the right side of this OS page..https://www.evertonfc.com/evertontvlive Matt Traynor 12 Posted 07/07/2012 at 22:20:22 Jamie, Indonesia is GMT + 7. I don't know what time the games are due to KO locally, but don't be surprised if they are evening games if it's a weekend (also helps with the climate). Matt Traynor 13 Posted 07/07/2012 at 22:26:56 Meant UTC not GMT. John Nugent 14 Posted 07/07/2012 at 22:40:30 Last pre-season I bought the full package but couldn't get all the games working.Then, they reduced the price for the last few games!I'll be looking for a link on the day,if there isn't one, I'll just buy one game at a time. Jack Molloy 15 Posted 07/07/2012 at 23:10:43 I've said this before - people say, 'where is the money Kenwright?' but when it comes time to pay themselves they're always looking for a free stream or cheap knock-off unofficial merchandise or a way to get into the match for nothing. Then they go on a march., chanting 'If you love this club...." You know what? If you love this club, pay the online fees buy tickets, go to the games and but the merchandise. That's part of what support means. Mark Riding 16 Posted 07/07/2012 at 23:17:11 Jack, I for one will pay to watch. I enjoyed watching the pre-season stuff last year. I saw a lad called Barkley play in the US games who looked ok, I wonder what happened to him though ?As for buying the merchandise... dont get me started. Another payday just gone for me, still no sign of the home shirt. Add to this the Utd game changing to a Monday.. an expensive time of the year ! Gavin Ramejkis 17 Posted 07/07/2012 at 23:29:04 Whoa there Jack, are you genuinely saying the BU supporters are solely responsibly for buying knock off or blouse gear, watching games for free online, and bunking into GP? Massive leap into bullshit labelling there Jamie Barlow 18 Posted 07/07/2012 at 23:46:46 Cheers Matt. Peter Thistle 19 Posted 08/07/2012 at 00:27:32 £18.99 is not cheap to a skint person like me. Some of us are on the Dole. Just because I can't afford it doesn't make me a shitty supporter for wanting to see the games free online. It's either free or don't see em, I'd choose free if the option was there. John Nugent 20 Posted 08/07/2012 at 00:48:23 Well said Peter Mark Riding 21 Posted 08/07/2012 at 00:53:05 Peter, whilst I really do understand your situation.. surely broadband must be the first to go if your skint ? Use the Library for free..Watching Evertons pre-season games would certainly not be my priority.. Andy Crooks 22 Posted 08/07/2012 at 00:58:34 Mark, I get what you're saying but when it comes to Everton our priorities become distorted to the point of apparent madness. Mark Riding 23 Posted 08/07/2012 at 01:07:09 Andy, I have had to re-book train tickets tonight, and return flight tickets to get back to work for 12pm on the Tueday just to watch the first home game... thats madness. Paying for broadband if your genuinely skint is crazy ? I pay £35+ a month for my BT and begrudge every penny. Yes, I use p2p for links myslef, but food on the table comes before watching Everton playing Blackpool surely ?? Jack Molloy 24 Posted 08/07/2012 at 02:55:00 No, the BU is not solely responsible for are solely responsibly for buying knock off or blouse gear, watching games for free online, and bunking into GP and in fact I did not say that. But don't let the facts get in the way of your being right. Rory Slingo 25 Posted 08/07/2012 at 06:32:06 Mark (#698), after food and mortgage, broadband is probably at the top of my list of things to pay for. I'd cut off all TV, land and mobile phone subscriptions before I cut off broadband. In fact, I haven't bought a newspaper, watched TV or made a call from a landline in years. One simply cannot do without the internet these days. As a source of information alone, it is priceless. With things like iTunes University, Youtube and Google, to name just a few sources, there is a bewildering array of freely available knowledge on the interwebs to avail oneself of. To pay £35 a month for access to almost the entire collective body of human knowledge, superior news coverage, keeping in contact with far-flung loved ones, on-demand entertainment and all the porn you could want, it's a steal in my book. As for the 6 games, I'm sure there are some logistical costs involved in making a live stream available and £20 seems a fair price to help the club offset any incurred. Don't know if I'd pay it myself. They'll probably cock something up. Tried to order a shirt off them when it went on offer for £10. They cancelled the order coz the credit card details were wrong but didn't tell me. Wasn't until 2 months later that I checked, wondering why international shipping was taking so bloody long that I found out they had cancelled it. Why they didn't simply email me to verify the details and complete the order I don't know. I ordered the '86/87 Season Review Anniv. Special from a different site and it arrived in a week! You can't even give this club money sometimes. Shambles. Jack Molloy 27 Posted 08/07/2012 at 15:41:51 Rory, I agree, the internet is indispensable now. I'm sure there are many Evertonians who for no fault of their own cannot afford to pay the fee to watch the games online. It's surprising, however, that fans who would not dream of stealing the money to pay for it will steal the service itself and think there's a significant difference. Fans who can't afford to pay don't have to do without. They can, for example, find some mates who can put together the money between them and watch it together. Stealing from Everton should be the very last option or no option at all. Dave Wilson 28 Posted 08/07/2012 at 20:15:10 Most of us have at some time in our lives struggled to find the money to support Everton.It's no crime to be skint, but it's not an excuse to cry "rip-off" when the club tries to recover some of its costs.It's not a rip-off. You get to see games (some played on the other side of the world) for the price of a pint. That's ridiculously cheap. Ian Bennett 29 Posted 08/07/2012 at 20:41:10 If they put on some half time porn you wouldnt get any complaints. There's got to be a joke somewhere, big tits – half-time Bill Kenwright interview. Mark Riding 30 Posted 08/07/2012 at 21:50:13 Rory, I do agree. Its a personal issue I have with BT that clouds my judgment. You say you would cut off TV, Phone line before broadband. TV licence is virtually compulsory, and having broadband without a phone line is impossible with BT anyway.Ian, half time porn ? The wife walking in on you knocking one out whilst watching evertontv ? Phil Sammon 31 Posted 09/07/2012 at 18:30:05 The club gets its fair share of money out of me. Season tickets, a shirt every year, overpriced food and drink at the ground. I'll be buying these pre-season games too, no doubt. However, if I was skint, I would definitely look for a free stream. On a side note. Does anyone know when the home shirt is out? Although I think it's got to be the away one this year...
