Saints really need to start something like this. It costs buttons to start up and is a decent revenue stream

Would be a good idea I think , there is still 0 chance of me paying Wigan to watch a friendly though

I think it's counter productive to show games live even if they're friendlies. But extended highlights and interviews on a service like this would be great. Plus they could put u19's matches on etc.

Think usually you get 19's during the week after and the SL games a week or so late

For the first team games you get 2 mins highlights 2 hours after the final whistle, with 15 minutes highlights 22 hours later. Then there's also interviews with players and coaching staff etc on a regular basis and the pre match press conference on a weekly basis once the season starts. For £35 a year it's good value IMO. http://tv.wiganwarriors.com/whats-on For this Sunday they are marrying up the live video with Wish FMs commentary team of Bilko, Joe Mills, Chris Price and Mike Bennett.

It's definitely something I hope Saints look into, can't argue with the price, shouldn't be too difficult to set up and would provide an extra revenue stream. Maybe it means you'll have to sell one less player a year if it sells well at Wigan.

The value looks good, but I wonder what the outlay is in terms of expenditure for the clubs?

Its bugger all. They video the games already, and how hard is it to upload a video?

Re: Saints v Wigan friendly 25th January : Wed Jan 21, 2015 12:30 pm  

It would be minimal I would think. Use a pre existing platform that would be buttons to pay usage rights for and everything is video'd anyway!
