LFCTV – what happened

[Silver Sean]

I had this on my TV for free for years, admittedly it is often an amateurish freak show but I did enjoy watching the youngsters and wallowing in nostalgia (Dirk Kuyt Goal Rush!) but I moved house two weeks ago and when the Sky box was installed and turned back on (I know, I know) LFCTV is suddenly demanding £7 a month. I wouldn't give you 7p so that's that fucked.
But I was wondering, did it suddenly become pay-per-view in the week I didn't have Sky, or is it something to do with me moving and getting a new hook up?
Any smarty pants out there care to enlighten me?

They started producing all content in HD then decided to charge everyone £7 a month for it even though it was free on Sky Virgin and Freesat.

An utter shambles, as discussed here: http://www.sixcrazyminutes.com/index.php?threads/lfctv-another-way-the-club-shafts-the-fans.55614/


You surely do this - if you feel the need to do it at all - from a position of popularity. But LFCTV got worse and worse, and then decided on an upgrade in picture quality, not before the season started but about a couple of months into the new season, and now for a subscription. 'Hey lads, you know that shite you got for free? Well now it's going to be available for about £30 per month! Enjoy!!!' And this with a man at the top of the club who is a hugely experienced commercial TV executive. It seems just entering into the environment of Anfield renders even competent people as clueless as Rick Parry.

I still get it gratis, *cough-dodgy box-cough* you'll be pleased to know that it's still fucking awful & has more adverts than the superbowl.

Thanks Macca.

Zackerly. Poor old Tom. LFCTV, Mighty Red and now this. Actually, though, maybe he should just recruit Cosby to head the transfer committee. 'I remember him giving me a pill for my headache,' Messi recalls, 'and then I felt really sleepy. The next thing I knew it was really cold and I was wearing a red shirt...'

Macca, you just came through like Godzilla and crushed the buildings.
