West Bromwich Albion manager Slaven Bilic has spoken out against the pricing of the extra-pay-per view matches for fans. BT and Sky charge £15 to watch games that are not ordinarily televised and Bilic believes that is not affordable for many people in Britain.
West Bromwich Albion manager Slaven Bilic has criticised the Premier League's decision to charge fans extra to watch matches via pay-per-view.
Domestic broadcasters have been airing Premier League games since the June restart as a temporary measure with fans still barred from stadiums due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, matches not already selected for broadcast in October, including West Brom's 0-0 draw against Burnley on Monday, are being priced at 14.95 pounds per game.
"Football should not be free, but affordable," Bilic told reporters. "Football is the sport for masses, a working-class sport, and it should be affordable to everybody."
