All fixtures until January will be announce before the season starts. 

But we all know they would be loads of games being moved given that EFL and its clubs including us wanted more TV revenue from its TV games. That's exactly why clubs should use some of the extra money to lower ST and match day prices. 

[Mattyblue]

I don’t blame Sky, they’ve got 10 channels to fill - blame the greedy clubs, they didn’t have to take the offer.

Though of course the best bit of all this is the extra revenue will go straight in the clubs’ account and straight back out again into that of the players and agents.

The EFL got an offer Dazn to broadcast every EFL game live on TV? 

The extra revenue should be use to lower ST prices for every club cos of various TV kick offs times 

[superniko]

I think people would swallow the 12:30 and 20:00 kick offs if it was reflected in a £200 season ticket or similar.

It will obviously affect away attendances to all the grounds in the sticks. But if our ticket costs were off-set by the TV money, then as fans we would accept it far easier.

Waggot will simply use the increased TV revenue to plug financial gaps.

Let's not kid ourselves that he's going pass it on to us. It's the last thing he'd do.

Rovers TV is available for purchase for international fans, same price as before. No notification e-mail or early bird offer, but it's there.

Thanks for that. 
I think the slight worry is the availability when the game is on Sky, as last season that meant Rovers TV didn’t show it in certain countries.

I’m in Spain most of the year, so probably need to check out how many games I can get before buying it.

An occasional jaunt to Italy or South Korea normally allows access if the game is not available in Spain

I have my VPN in place for that very reason and used it when necessary last season. I was travel sick by the end of the season.  🙂 

I find the price good value for money for all the home and away games, so will probably renew it again. 

[lraC]

I have just had a look on Rovers TV and as already advised, by previous posters, the international pass it available again next year. It seems strange that the club have not sent E Mails out to people like me, who subscribed last year.

I have pasted the details below for those who are abroad and want to watch the games live, that are available.

Seasonal Video Pass

Watch eligible Blackburn Rovers matches during the 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship season with an 11-month subscription. 

This pass is only available to those outside the United Kingdom and Ireland.

[doctorryan]

USA supporters should lay low for awhile.  Depending on how things play out, 1 streaming subscription could cover all League, League Cup & FA Cup matches in 1 swing.

[yellowsubmarine]

Are they really charging £180 now? I thought it was the same £140 as before? Really doubting whether im gonna subscribe since there will be a handful of games at 3.45am (Asia time) which i cant watch, and some games will be on Sky, making it not viewable for us online. The pricing is getting ridiculous now.

[AllRoverAsia]

Latics TV are showing the match.

Rovers TV appear not to be.

I got mine for £140 a few weeks back (just checked, bought mine 1st week of July)

Lucky you! Wasn't even aware there was any early bird sale.

They didn't advertise it, someone on here posted that they were on sale

Cracking marketing as usual 

[philipl]

As an international subscriber to Rovers TV every year since subscriptions were offered, I have received zero information from the club about renewal this year.

This was were I heard it, & it was £140 when I bought it at the beginning of July.  Thank you OsloRover

Ridiculous that Rovers didn't announce it themselves

Fixture changes until January 4th.

Seems we have gotten off pretty lightly.

Plus the 4 league and 1 Carabao Cup games already scheduled for Sky in August and September.

That's 8 league games live on Sky out of the next 24, one third, live on TV.

We do seem to have been ignored in a busy December and for our visit to Leeds on 1st Jan 25.

Every Bank Holiday game is being shown, so Leeds NYD and Sunderland Boxing Day will be on - though possibly at 3pm.

Something ‘kill’, something ‘golden goose’.

[Hasta]

Far be it from me to have sympathy for that lot, but Burnley have Boro away at 8pm Sunday evening.
