ESPN+ vs. ASOR Club

I hope this topic isn't too controversial, but if a Flames fan only could only purchase one--ESPN+ or ASOR Club--which would be better?
I'm leaning toward ESPN+ because you could watch hours of LU's away games.
I think the monthy cost is about the same--5 dollars vs. 7 dollars.

I’m signing up for ESPN+ just before the season starts. My thought is what fun is reading about sports if you can’t watch the sport itself?

For the average fan, ESPN+. For the dedicated fan that wants more, both.

I support the subscription idea, but I believe they would generate more money to cover their time and expenses @ $25-$30 per year. Less fee but more subscribers.

Agreed. I would be far more likely to sub to Club if it were cheaper.

$7/month for the content they’re providing is more than fair. You guys are suggesting what they’re offering is only worth $2.50/month or 5 cents per article.

I'd love a per month option rather than the year as a whole.

My guess would be a per month option would be $10-ish each month. Subscription models tend to discount 10-25% for those who pay for the entire year up front.

I think the price is fair. I'll be honest, when it was first announced I was a bit skeptical but the content that has been provided has far exceeded my expectations.
I may be the forum administrator, but I have nothing to do with the operations of the main page. I am a paying club member and haven't regretted if. I'm just mad at my mailman for rolling up the Williams stadium drawing envelope when he put it in my mailbox.

Jon should keep this idea in mind when the second year starts for club Lord willing. This is the first year and things will develop along the way.

That's unfortunate; will you be putting your drawing in a frame?

It depends on what you mean by "better." ESPN doesn't need your money. ASOR does. If I had to choose one, I would choose ASOR. For the record, I did subscribe to ESPN+, but don't currently. I will pick it back up at some point... you can subscribe for a month & drop it at will. I am willing to pay $5 a pop when there is a game or two I want to watch.

That's an excellent point, Bama24.
