These £15 games are ON TOP of the season tickets clubs sold. 
Imagine spending £900 on an ST at the Emirates just to be told they need to pay more money to watch the games.

There is absolutely nothing good about this.
Arsenal are giving refunds for games behind closed doors. 

So did Leicester from last nights game

Clubs should not be taking payment for games until they are confirmed to be open to crowds.
Liverpool have been very fair - Gave us a full refund for the games behind closed doors from last season as soon as it was clear there would be no fans allowed and haven't taken any money for this season so far.

They could have allowed these extra games go to sky/bt and throw a few at BBC/ITV.

Just all feels wrong. 
It's a bit if a pyramid scheme really isn't it. You've a league where fans want to see their team sign players on £100k+ a week, well those clubs are gonna have to make the money somewhere. In the absence of ticket sales from 40k people, they make it from TV revenue from those 40k people.

Premier League season ticket holders can't pay £200 for a family of 4 to go to a game, so they pay £15 to watch it at home.
Airtricity League season ticket holders can't pay £60 for a family of 4 to go to a game, so they pay €5 to watch it at home.

BTW, I'm totally against putting the Super Sunday or Monday Night Football games on PPV (and full disclosure I'm an IPTV fan myself), but this is putting 3pm Saturday games on TV as an option for fans to watch it.

See my post above.

Why sell season tickets if you're just gonna charge PPV then. Not all clubs are giving refunds.
It's a bit like going to the cinemas, giving your ticket to someone else so you have to buy a new one. Except the first ticket costed you £400-£900

And even then if they did refund everyone it's still wrong in the fact it's overpriced, let's compare the prices in other sports;
DAZN  (Boxing) 9.99 a year
UFC  (MMA) 5.99 a month
WWE (Entertainment Wrestling) 9.99 a year

Watch the biggest fights of the year or watch West Brom v Burnley for £6 more. Hmmmmm.

I know there's a League 1 club who are charging £350 for an ST not giving refunds, they begin with an S... I've dug myself in it now haven't I Ouch 

But these clubs make it as part of the terms of conditions when buying one so they're covered really

But atleast they're giving out stream passes to make up for it not charging extra like the EPL clubs. The not refunding I don't mind because it's peoples stupidity to buy one in these circumstances anyways, it's the charging extra what's irritating me badly.

The original idea of the PPV idea was that they'd have the 3pm Saturday games on PPV and we'd have our regular top-5 games as regular Sky/BT offerings. Not sure how they can stand over that with this weeks games, not a hope SKY/BT would have left Arsenal V Leicester on 3pm Sat

It's bleak isn't it. They're PPV too, you'd want to be fair desperate to pay it unless you're a supporter of those teams. Can't imagine games at 5:30 was what West Brom fans were dreaming of when they were chasing promotion the past two years.
