Not sure exactly how this is going to work but sounds like good news at first reading.

This is the key part for me.Quote:
, the new deal enables Premiership clubs to broadcast on a pay per view basis every home SPFL game not selected by Sky Sports."
It’s Rangers and Celtic who really benefit from this in a big way
Most of our key home games against them and Hearts are likely to be on Sky. Very rarely are their home games on Sky, unless they are playing each other
Think we’ve had one game this season against the old firm, not on Sky
On the plus side, you’ll be able to pay for most away games, which is great news for all football fans
Good news.
It's a difficult one. I don't think many people expected that fans would be locked out for the entire season and folk were prepared to bite the bullet for a few months. As for next season, we all want to see continued investment in the squad but the club can't do that on thin air.
I'm glad it's not me that has to decide what's what.
I can see me buying a child season ticket to watch games and buying a half season if we are allowed back into the ground as I simply can not justify paying out the same as last season which included upgrading from a Bronze to silver area when I may as well have been buying cheaper seats in the famous five lower.
I feel for people that purchased tickets at gold prices as they have been given a raw deal compared to someone in the bronze and I firmly believe that people that renew in the Gold & Silver sections should be offered their tickets at bronze rates out of fairness.
I think this is brilliant, and i hope it paves the way to keep the arrangement going forward.
I’m certain Sky wouldn’t have seen viewer numbers drop this season, despite games being available every week.
This opens up the chance to watch your team live away from home every match, it’s not as good as going to the games but it’s a decent second.
I think folk who travel away will still go, but clubs will benefit from additional ppv sales on top of the gate receipts.
Continuity. Good news.
Kids season tickets are going to be flying of the shelves.[emoji23]

It's only good news if we get rid of Tanner.
Knowing we’ll can see all the games is good.
A lot of people who have to buy multiple tickets will be thinking twice about it though.
So I only have to buy a child’s ticket now to reserve my seat (on the settee) 😁
I know the clubs needed clarity but would we have shifted 11,000 season tickets if we knew this at the beginning of last season, I seriously doubt it. Difficult balancing act, especially for homes like mine with potential 3 season tickets to buy.
Good news 👏.
Should I buy a season ticket or PPV (every home game) that is the question?
This reads as if they know we're not going to be getting back in the stadiums for the start of the season.
Also, don't you think this will start to kill off away supporters for the smaller games anyway? Pubs etc are likely to be able to get these streams too so folk more likely to just head to a pub than travel and spend on a ticket
Your last paragraph is a fair point, but most of the regular who go to away games will continue to do so, in my opinion!
We currently have an away season ticket, which means if you’re on the list, you get the 1st tickets for all games, wonder how this will work when we’re allowed back in
Similarly, I don’t think this gives us much encouragement that we will be inside Easter Road any time soon. If we were going to be back for start of next season then there would be no need for such a deal.
While I’m happy to know that we will still have access to streaming, this news is a bit deflating for any hopes of seeing Hibs again.
