Something about match day live I love , can't get into it on tv.. have only watched a couple on tv since covid . Just not the same without a crowd

agree with that. I look forward to watching the games live and enjoy the feeling of being there. Watching on my tv, laptop, tablet etc is just not the same and without any fans it's even worse.

If it was for home matches only and done subject to strict conditions, then I would 100% support this.

I read that the club made £5.39million in gate receipts in the 2018-19 seas0n, which equates to roughly £234,000 per home league match.

If the EFL carried on with QPR+ even after the fans return, I can see it being popular.

I would make it slightly more expensive though, maybe £15.

Or you could be given the option to purchase for all 23 matches, which I think should be £150.

Ive done some rough estimations.

Lets say 10,000 people decided to purchase a match pass for £15, the club would make on that matchday £150,000.

If I done that based off of 23 matches, the club would generate £3.45million in income from it.

I would also give fans the option of purchasing a seasonal pass for £150, so lets say 15,000 decided to purchase one, the club would make alone £2,250,000 from it.

Added together based off the numbers, this could potentially generate an additional £5,700,000 in revenue per season for the club.

Its a no brainer imo.

I was just about to say the same, charge £15 to £20 per game, more if you have too.

If we are still with I Follow club gets to keep 70% of profit after running cost. The big question is where are these extra 10,000 supporters coming from? Even at £15 you need two subscriptions to make up for one less in the ground, possibly three with lost sales on extras. There is no way we are going to get 25 to 30,ooo combined supporters so it's not extra money made and could in fact be money lost.

I think your logic is assuming that those watching the stream were choosing that over going to the match.In a lot of instances I don’t think that will be the case , due to family and work commitments many fans would not be attending the game so it would be money gained by the club that they would be losing without streams.

i thing match streaming should be the same as match day tickets as the supporters who do make the effort and are able to go will spend extra money on match day.

Watching from home you save a lot of money as most are saying its costing around 100 pounds a match.

plus more than one person is watching from home so it's still value for money

Again that assumes those watching a stream would otherwise be at the game , in a high percentage of instances I don’t think that’s the case . When you factor in fans all around the country and abroad that had no intention of going to the game anyway.
