    I don't think Hibs have taken this far enough.

    IMO there's a massive market there, to bring in much needed revenue and we seem to be not wanting to exploit it.

    First game of the season, first in months, and only season ticket holders can see it??

    Our average crowd was what? 16,500 last season, we have sold?? 10,500-11k?

    We have just cut off 6k of our own support?? plus more who are dying to see the game?

    Then there's away fans?? who've not seen their team in months?? who can't see it?

    Surely you have away fans, who normally go, spend money on transport/food/drink etc, who's be willing to pay to sit and watch in their own house?

    We defo protect the value of the ST, which someone said to me works out at £16 a game, if that's true then surely charge £18-£20 for PPV for one game, if it's not, then whatever it works out t, charge a couple of quid more.

    Sell as many as possible, access to only that game, the buildup and aftermath??

    Same going forward with all our home games, sell it PPV, to anyone willing to pay.

    I think we are missing out on a money spinner here, seems a strange decision

    I say all this as a season ticket holder btw.
    I agree, we could probably sell around 5000 streams or more for this game, that’s £50000 coming in if it’s £10 each or double if we go with Livingston prices.

    United we stand here....

    Potential is there, but as I say above, i'm not sure of the tv deal situation.

    Id open it up ppv to everyone and bring in as much as possible.

    Not sure it’s that simple as there would be a cost for us for the additional streams as well, it’s not just £50k in your pocket I wouldn’t imagine. Also, I don’t think we’d sell that number of streams either. With people watching games together, I wonder how many of the 10,500 season ticket holders will actually be logging in. Same would go for ‘walk up’ and away supporters.

    That said, I think we could/should have been doing something but, IMO, they’re simply trying to keep the risk of anything going wrong as low as possible.
