Is it me or is that pricey?

Thought the same considering i payed the £ 30 for the whole of the year including the friendlys the last year

I think it's fair enough to be honest.

£5 for a pre-season game is definitely steep.

If I can't find gentle channels of water for the games I may pay for the Werder Bremen one, though. Hopefully I can go to the Villareal one as that's at home.

It's all I used it for last season, although anyone remember the balls up when they were showing man utd on tour in Ireland for the whole first half of one of our pre games last season.

I'm a sucker for it so I'll be buying the package. Everton, if you read this read... Please some new faces for these games. It is what adds the interest seeing if we have a new star for the coming season.

that never happened to me,watched every everton friendly without any problems and perfect pic,the sound was gone on one game for the 1st 15 or so mins on a down under game and that was it but that was because they forgot to put mic on

Yeah I will go Villareal and might pay for Bremen.

I thought it was supposed to be free?

I assume it was "everything apart from what people actually want" is free.

Too expensive anyway. I won't bother. It's not like we're seeing anyone new play anyway.

Yes I emailed them and they said it affected a small number of subscribers. They even offered me a fiver in compo if I remember correctly, so a fiver a game is dead right.

I'll pay it one way or another. Odd that they don't give any details about highlights if you miss one. Or the possibility of seeing the whole match later if you are subscribed.

You miserable sods.

There will be some excellent free content to watch. It'll only be the pre-season games they'll charge for - they have to recoup costs (and hopefully make some!) somewhere.

A fiver for 90 minutes of Everton football is sod all. And I'm a skint meff...

The radio commentary will be free, which I used a few times last season to be fair. In fact the radio used to be free up until about 2004 I was really pissed off when they started charging for it.

All in all it's boss it's free again.

The huge amounts of adverts the site hammers us with is where the money is made.
