    ...how would people feel if all games were broadcast on something like Barnsley Player? (Obviously if the bugs were ironed out of it).

    There's nothing like being at a game, and it wouldn't stop me going to home games (although I would probably go to less of them which stands at around 60% at the moment) but if such a thing was to become possible through renegotiated TV rights, would you pay something like £30 a month to see all our games online? Or maybe a one-off £8-£10?

    As an exiled fan living abroad, I would love this to happen. However, it never would due to the possible effect an attendances. Might be a possibility outside the UK, but as everyone knows, anything that is broadcast supposedly for non-uk audiences, people who want to watch it will find a way.

    It would be great - I cant get to as many games as I'd like and watching online isnt the same as being there but its better than nothing

    Yeah that can be a problem, although to be fair it's fairly easy to watch any Premier League game you like on a Saturday afternoon on the internet but I wouldn't say many bother.

    I'd say in the next ten years it will be a possibility, probably won't be cheap but the option will be there I'd say.

    do youmean like what the USA already has?

    we are behind them with all aspects of technology. why do you think yiou can search easily to find streams of most sports?? MOTD and TFLshow get fullcoverage of all games. It wouldnot be that hard for a company to set up a live stream for matches to ALL clubs,I mean we have seen red Button where you can select a match. How do you think Sky sports get that stupid panel looking down and cavorting about? I am an exhile I would pay at least the same amount season ticket people pay, and more. But I would like the clubs to get something from this too

    It's nowt to do with the technology mate, it's to do with who has paid for the rights and at what times live matches can be broadcast - at the moment you aren't allowed to show a live football game in England when there are more than a few other games happening that aren't on tele.
