Hendo Franchise FC Another means of making access to the game more expensive under the cloak of more choice.
More choice means you have to subscribe to more channels - multiplying the cost of watching.
I can see the day that we stop watching altogether. We're already down to one (non-free-to-air) source.
I guess the counter argument to that is, loads of people already subscribe to Amazon Prime for non-football related services.
They are using it as a loss leader aren't they - to see how many new people sign up to Prime based on this.
The "good" thing here is as a football fan, this is the one way over the next 3 years that you can watch the Premier League for free. Sign up to the 30 day trial - takes in both sets of fixtures (and all other Prime benefits) then cancel on the 28th December. Rinse and repeat.
