MonehJags Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Id be very surprised if that was correct. I wonder if that number includes people who switched off and logged back in because of connection errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So £26000 + hospitality less police etc. We have probably done better out this situation than a normal game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that keeps up throughout the season. I suppose that there will be a fair amount of people that will be paying for it because there's not much else to be doing, and you can do it in the comfort of your own home and have a beer or two while watching the game. Add in the fact that people will probably just be desperate to watch their own team play as it's been so long you can understand the attraction. Exactly what I done and will be doing the same tomorrow, pished by 5.30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm amazed at that figure. You've also to take into consideration that on many occasions two or more of a family (bubble) would be viewing. In other words the total viewing will exceed the number of streams purchased considerably. The idea that a Jags v Airdrie match was watched on line by maybe as much as 7000-8000 is staggering. Even more so given the difficulty getting signed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so given the difficulty getting signed in. Me too. Something doesn’t seem right. If we’d been able to attend the match there would likely have been 2,500 maximum, so I don’t know where the other 3,500 came from. However if true it’s good news for the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also shows the benefit to other clubs if Jags fans choose to watch the away game streams. Personally, I will be using GoFundMe to give money to Thistle. Good to see the club leaving no stone unturned when it comes to marketing opportunities too. Seconded on both counts BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Frankly, I find it hard to believe that so many people paid to watch a run of the mill live stream of a Scottish 1st division match in a soul-less ground with no fans and no atmosphere. Too many more attractive options for neutrals for me to think the figure is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotterJag Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm guessing that every Thistle and Airdrie fan that would have attended live, would have watched the stream. That could be 2,500, give or take. The balance is made up from Thistle and Airdrie fans that struggle to attend, due to their location. I'm one of those, and watched the stream, albeit as a ST holder. Remember the crowd we at at the Cup Final at Livi and the Semi-Final v Rangers at Hampden. On those occasions, people travelled from around the globe. That doesn't really happen for league games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i recall we kinda did have permission, the local councillor for the area at the time even stood and had photos taken for the demolition of the terrace. However stuff happened, maybe dodgy from us or council or higher and it was kyboshed. Hopefully someone with more info can lay it bare but that is what i recall.

The council advised we had been given permission and it was all publicised. We were good to go and took it on good faith that we could proceed, even though we wouldn't get the official notice for another 3 months??, or so. After we demolished the site, we were advised that we didn't have permission after all. Feel raging about this even now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the then club Directors planned on that basis they were foolish and they deserved all they got and unfortunately our ground/stadium , to this day looks a mess. What idiot knocks down a quarter of their house on the basis of ‘ that’s alright mate you’ll be ok’, only to be told 3 months later, ‘ sorry you can’t build your extension’ Unless written and guaranteed planning permission was received then the City end terracing shouldn’t have touched.
