No.  They have now upped it to £18.75 for the majority of games.  It is also not available for a few games such as PNE.
 

Match-by-Match Pricing:

GOLD (Norwich City, Ipswich Town, Sheffield United, Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, Charlton Athletic, Middlesbrough, West Bromwich Albion, Coventry City)	Silver (Swansea City, Stoke City, QPR, Oxford United, Watford, Hull City, Bristol City, Portsmouth)
£18.75	£15

The Sky licence should be for the whole of Ewood Park not a separate one for Blues.  Unless of course Sodexo pay for Jacks Kitchen and the Club are responsible for Blues.

 I was thinking exactly the same.

Thanks.

Is there still a membership fee for Blues and is it the same cost as last year?

I thought Sodexho was responsible for Blues too… as that certainly was how Swag et al tried to avoid responsibility for the Liverpool Legends night held in there.

So an aproximately 20% rise from last season, for most of the Saturday games.

Yes however the price of pies and gravy granules have gone through the roof.

The point is that the club were lying when they referred to £15 as that is only for 8 games.

I got a reply from the club regarding no sky sports (personally I think they should be trying to make it a bit of a sports bar vibe with rovers historic pictures plastered everywhere, not sure i want to watch re runs of games and interviews we've already seen. 😞

In Blues, we’ll be showing classic Rovers matches and exclusive Rovers content before and after the game, creating a space that feels even more connected to the club.

A space that feels even more connected to the club.....didn't they get rid of all the Rovers things on the walls in there? A bit like the murals on the corners of the JW and Darwen End. Could never get my head around them doing that.

Not available for the Preston game. Ok makes some sense.

Nor for the Leicester, Derby, Birmingham or Wrexham matches. 

For those presumably the 'pie and peas' will be getting dropped again in favour of a cash grab hoping to rinse the tourists/expected big away followings/anniversary 'bumper crowd'

Of all the things you could accuse the Club of "lying" is possibly a bit strong in that context. "Economical with the truth" maybe?

I think it's a lot worse that they're dressing up this latest and frankly quite pathetic round of costcutting as an attempt to look after the fans and provide "great value" when I assume the reality is:

2024/25

Blues Membership fee £X p.a. Sky Sports available

2025/26

Blues Membership fee STILL £Xp.a.  but no Sky Sports

"Great value" indeed.

Have we got rid of Sky Sports around the ground, everywhere except Jack's kitchen? Or is it still on the concourses, etc? I usually arrive at the ground about 15 mins before kickoff and go up to my seat, so I haven't really watched the TVs in there for a while, so I hadn't noticed if there had been a change. It is appalling though if they have canned it, I don't watch but thousands of others do. 

Like many have pointed out already, how tinpot is it for a Championship football club not to have the main sports channels at the ground?

Regardless of the above it is tight arsed penny pinching, totally embarrassing.  I am minded to slip a Fire Stick in the Blues TV feed and see if the Club notices.

Surely its the premises as a whole. Hell it should be free seeing g as they provide the entertainment that goes on sky
