Totally stupid idea but I wouldn't class it as dismal for the. Average of 40K for each match (granted some were less) at £14.99 a time makes around £600k per game - drop in the ocean against the TV rights packages but a reasonable sum.
If BT and Sky were complaining that it only just covers their costs...who was paying for recording of all the PL matches before? The PL themselves?
