For premier league atm, you would need Sky, TNT & Amazon to see all the televised matches.

The ban on one provider buying all the rights lasted two auctions.

The League are doing this of their own accord since 2014. But yes, you’d need all three and it’s much more expensive as a result of being split.

Forget tv, get a season ticket. Can't be that much difference. Plus you'd be a 'real' supporter and get some much needed fresh air. :)

Good advice although in my case my team (Liverpool) have a waiting list of 70,000 haven't added anyone to the list since around 2014 and the current wait is 20+ years. Season ticket holders seem to live a long time over by the Mersey :D. Plus you don't get to see any of the other teams games.

The waiting list at my team (Forest) is about 12,000 (last I heard, likely higher now).
Smaller capacity ground, so chances of getting one while they remain in the PL are very very low.

Same issue at Wolves mate 32,00 capacity around 10,000 on waiting list.

:D I used to watch them a bit actually, especially when they played my then local team South Liverpool, sadly long defunct.

And yet not that long ago*, the average crowd at the WFCG was 13,000.





*Back in the 1970s when I was an East Stand season ticket holder and Forest were still a second division team. A year or two later in the First Division, there were suddenly 30,000 life-long fans.
