Bulls TV - Monthly Subscription : Thu Feb 18, 2016 12:34 pm  

The club are launching a subscription to Bulls TV, priced at £2.50 per month for members and £3.00 fore non-members. Anybody have thoughts on this? I think it is a reasonable fee for a service we have taken for granted this past year and given that we aren't made of money it makes sense to open up new revenue streams, no matter how small. http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/pos ... -new-shows

Inevitable really, but I don't know how anyone could baulk at paying a measly £2.50 a month for what is a great service.
I would have paid that before they started offering full match replays, but with the full games available to watch on there it's a bargain imo.

Nah. I only use it to quickly watch some highlights when they come up so won't bother anymore.

Can't get to many away games so well worth it for me now their putting full matches on. Can't say I'll watch much of other stuff on it though.

Good idea. Think they're going to be doing more than just highlights. I know they've started doing full games as well now. Even if only 200 fans signed up, that's £500 every month for the club. With money tight, not to be sniffed at.

Bulls TV was a great addition last season. I had a feeling that it would eventually become a paid subscription service. I'll be signing up next month regardless of the pricing. My only complaint (and it's a small one) is that there isn't currently an option to pay for 12 months up front.

Also, I wonder if the club have any prospects of live streaming the games in the future? Do any other clubs offer that service through their own online channel?

Fine with me. Good idea. I hope to see more in there about the 16s and 19s too.

So far Bulls TV has only scratched the surface.

I know premier league clubs like LFCTV and Man u tv can't show games live due to the sky contract that would probably apply to us with Sky holding championship rights as well.

Same here. Very rarely watch it except for games I don't get to. Even then it's highlights rather than a full game, as I struggle to watch a full game I know the result of, it bores me to tears.

It's not a bank breaker at all, but it's still not value for me personally. Hopefully other fans disagree with me though and it makes the club lots of money.

Live games would probably change my mind, but I really can't see that happening.

Yeah I doubt live games will ever be a thing on these sorts of services. Other clubs have been charging for such a service for some years now so nice to see we're catching up.
