Royaly hate BT/TNTWith a 5.30 kick off.
******* TV company.
In what way would it be unacceptable? TNT Sports are entitled to pick whatever game they want. I’m sure this is made clear to clubs at the start of the season.We have lost out on quite a few quid there in ticket sales. Is this actually acceptable?
We’ve already played Solihull at home. And even if we hadn’t, I’m not sure how that would be better from a TV perspective.Why do they keep putting the games on the TV where we would actually get a reasonable away support in for? It must be frustrating to the club. Surely a home game against Solihull would be better for the TV?
I’m aware we’ve played Solihull at home. Wasn’t really the point though. I am saying this hurts the bottom line and is annoying to say the least. Also had our home game vs. Chesterfield televised which would have impacted on the away support against a good sized club who would have brought more if it wasn’t I’m sure.In what way would it be unacceptable?

Our two highest attendances this season were games broadcast on TNT. So I’m not sure what all this overreaction about losing money is for.

It’s hardly a surprise that they’d rather pick a local game with a decent crowd and atmosphere. Than a game against the likes of Gateshead with 10 away fans and a muted atmosphere.

You can watch the games on National League TV anyway, does it really make that much difference to the away support?The question is, how much TV revenue will we make from the game and would this figure compensate the loss of a few hundred extra fans?
Due to part closures, the North Bank can hold around 600ish I think. From memory, Chesterfield brought down around 450(?) An extra 150 fans, paying £20 each would have returned £3k.
Did we earn more through TV revenue?
I’d expect Daggers to sell similar to Chesterfield tbh, maybe a tad more.
I swear someone said we earn something like £6k from TNT games. Unsure if that was individually or in total for the season. Either way it’s peanuts.The question is, how much TV revenue will we make from the game and would this figure compensate the loss of a few hundred extra fans?

Don’t also forget that this would stop home fans coming along as well…If true, that should make up for the loss of fan revenue.
I think people are quick to forget that we can only sell 600ish in the NB, so it’s not like we’re missing out on an extra 1000+ away fans (although not much chance of that in this league anyway)
Edit: If it’s £6k for the season, that’s a different story
You can’t watch NL games at 3pm on a Saturday unless you are using non legitimate means.You can watch the games on National League TV anyway, does it really make that much difference to the away support?
Chesterfield brought 493 to us. A few weeks earlier they played Boreham Wood away, which is a similar distance, and took 499. So I’m not sure on what basis there would have been loads more of them if it wasn’t on TV.
They definitely didn’t bring anymore than 450 odd the last two seasons either, albeit one of them was a Tuesday night.
Now we know what the rat does on a Saturday afternoon nowYou can’t watch NL games at 3pm on a Saturday unless you are using non legitimate means.
Depends if Wet Spam are at home.The question is, how much TV revenue will we make from the game and would this figure compensate the loss of a few hundred extra fans?

Based on what? The home end was sold out for the last match on TNT Sport.Don’t also forget that this would stop home fans coming along as well…
