I didn't share that exact hope - but I do agree with you on one point: the extra income is likely to go on increased wages. None of this is likely to improve any Club's competitive position.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 4:55 pmNot happy with Sky getting their claws back into EFL at all.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 3:06 pm Gonna be a poo poo show of random Friday/Sunday kick offs at 11am for a few thousand people to watch on sky sports.

My great hope was seeing the end of the 3pm blackout with Orient running their own domestic streaming service and getting all the income. Alas all that independence gone for a few quid from Sky that will be swallowed up in increased player wages.
If you want that, Man United and Liverpool will get the same and Orient will get next to f*** all in tv revenue.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 4:55 pmNot happy with Sky getting their claws back into EFL at all.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 3:06 pm Gonna be a poo poo show of random Friday/Sunday kick offs at 11am for a few thousand people to watch on sky sports.

Which Orient fans would be watching Man Utd v Liverpool? Let's be realistic none of the big 6 fans are going to be choosing to watch Orient if their Prem side are on regardless of whether it's Sky or club streaming.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 5:39 pmIf you want that, Man United and Liverpool will get the same and Orient will get next to f*** all in tv revenue.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 4:55 pmNot happy with Sky getting their claws back into EFL at all.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 3:06 pm Gonna be a poo poo show of random Friday/Sunday kick offs at 11am for a few thousand people to watch on sky sports.

You’re missing the point. Without the biggest clubs, the tv revenue is next to nothing. The tv money gets filtered down to Orient this way.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 6:00 pmWhich Orient fans would be watching Man Utd v Liverpool?

Those who want to go to the ground will still go as they value the atmosphere and social elements.
Those who like travelling to away games to see different grounds and soak up the atmosphere still will.
Well given the Prem still don't want to agree the money share with the EFL next season's Champions League looks uncannily like the Superleague concept there's an even greater chance they'll pull away entirely in the not too distant future.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 6:18 pm You’re missing the point.

It won’t happen. It was the one thing that unified fans across the country to protest (some more than others).gshaw wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 6:40 pmWell given the Prem still don't want to agree the money share with the EFL next season's Champions League looks uncannily like the Superleague concept there's an even greater chance they'll pull away entirely in the not too distant future.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 6:18 pm You’re missing the point.

EFL clubs will need to think of how they could rework their finances in the event the big 6 waltz off into their own little club sold out to the Saudi / Qatari moneymen
I hope you're right, the FA Cup Replay battle is the next step in that fight against the greed of those at the top of the pyramidBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 6:49 pm It won’t happen. It was the one thing that unified fans across the country to protest (some more than others).
