Mariners Player

Quoted from Tangerine Chris

Are you kidding about it being good value?

1.  Commentary is from Radio Humberside which you get free online or on DAB Digital
2.  Highlights/goals/players interview clips are always on you tube BEFORE they go on MP
3.  Post Match Interview is on AUDIOBOO long before it appears on MP

All 3 of them are available FREE online, so remind me again why its good value?

Re your point two, only the odd goal or highlights appear on youtube, you make it read like all of them are.  

I do get the feeling it's underused by the club but there is much more on Mariners Player than what you get from Humberside and youtube. Humberside only ever broadcast John Tondeur interviewing Hurst after a match, but now and again other people ask him questions. I also enjoy logging into other teams' Player sites to listen to them moan about a defeat etc or them describing why they're loaning a player to GTFC. The extended highlights are rarely on youtube.

It is much better value now that it is reasonable quality. I was thinking about stopping it (although I probably wouldn't have anyway) until they sorted that out.

Quoted from Tangerine Chris

FACT  Audio commentary on Mariners Player is BBC Radio Humberside commentary with JT commentating.
FACT  Paul Hurst Post Match Interview was on BBC Radio Humberside, who loaded it up to AUDIOBOO at 6pm saturday night, only difference with MP is that you can see PH instead of just listening to him.
FACT.  JPPs goal was put on youtube before the highlights appeared on MP.
When a new player comes to the club, their interview is put on GTFCs youtube channel the same time as it is put on MP

So can you please point out where I am not correct?

Surely through your pedantry you realise that some content is ONLY available through Mariners Player - full-length pre-match interviews (not the edited version broadcast on Humberside), extended highlights and player interviews for example? In addition, you cannot listen to Radio Humberside through regular means if you're located outside the UK. Not all Town fans live in the UK, hence a Player subscription is worth it for them if they want to listen to games.

If someone feels this additional content is worth a subscription they're free to subscribe, much in the same way you're free to get on your high horse about some content being made freely available.

I used to be one of the biggest critics of Mariners Player on here, but they've pulled their finger out now and improved the service no end.

What arryarrarry said

Town also get some money out of it. It's less than a fiver a month it's not as it's a fortune ffs.

Don't forget your half price town shirt.

There was recently a campaign on the club website saying "help us reach 1,000 subscribers". If that's true and they've fewer than 1,000 subscribers, then they really can't be making much out of it. Even if the managing company only takes a small percentage, there's very little left over. I'd have thought there'd be more people subscribing, unless a load of people cancelled before they upped the quality.
