I agree that some, through their own choice, would choose not to take it... but I don't think you would struggle to find someone to take a free ticket off your hands... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 15 quid for both entry and live streaming for the League Cup games. They can shove that right up their farters. 15 quid for any live stream is an absolute disgrace nevermind a pixellot one. I wouldn’t have been attending but if the stream was a reasonable price I might have tuned in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont need to worry about it for much longer because streaming wont be allowed when the league season starts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer the country was a bit more nimble with the blackout rules. Is the attendance gate or the SPFL’s “broadcast partners” particularly impacted by Dumbarton streaming a league match against Elgin City on our robot camera? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Ah well, maybe we’ll keep it for overseas customers which is very easy to get around in the UK. With the camera being automatic I don’t imagine there’s a huge cost or a lot of work required (outwith the commentary) to run it. If not I’ll not be seeing many games this season, which I’m not massively arsed about, but it’s nice to have the option at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt so disconnected from the game while watching it on a laptop. If I can't make a game I'll not be watching it from my house as I found the experience really didn't engage me. I still bought every stream at the time mind you, but I was delighted when we could go back in again. I do, however, in spite of my personal lack of enjoyment of the streams, think clubs should be allowed to sell streams both domestically and abroad via their website etc. The black out is outdated nonsense and not particularly relevant to the mass media age we live in today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree. The stream is quite often my only way of watching the game due to work and other commitments. I can usually make time to watch the stream but attending the games is becoming more difficult for me. It’s not perfect but it’s certainly better than nothing. I definitely wouldn’t be paying £15 for it mind you, I’d just go without if that was the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I'm no great fan of watching a game on the stream either but it does allow folk who couldn't otherwise see it to do just that. The problem for Sons fans has been that streaming has coincided with some of the worst football and performances in recent memory, and I can think of two games in particular - Peterhead and East Fife away - when we lost a very early goal and you just KNEW we were going to lose. At least at a game there is a bit of banter and gallows humour to ease the pain. On that basis the removal of streaming would if nothing else probably make my laptop feel a lot less likely to go through a window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Just now, WhoAmI said: Beware of what you wish for!!!!! We don't have a single striker in our squad. Well, we have Kalvin Orsi. But he's quite clearly not a natural forward. I'd be chuffed to bits if we got Wallace in. I know he's had fall-outs at East Fife, but he averaged a goal every other game the last time he played under Faz. A fresh start under a manager who knows how to get the best out of him could be what he needs. In saying that strikers who join us have a nasty knack of forgetting where the goal is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not outdated at all, when someone setting up a dodgy box in a pub can access streams and divert dozens of away fans from traveling to games at all. It would be extremely foolish IMO for lower league Scottish football clubs to continue streaming games. It is a live event for them - you have to be there to witness it (for good or bad) - and if that model fails then the game's a bogey. That inconveniences some people with accessibility issues but unless the dodgy stream issue is magically resolved, that's why you can't have nice things.

The Moonster Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 As soon as I saw Wallace was released I hoped we'd be in for him. Probably as good a forward as we could hope for after relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I’d be very happy with Wallace. Credit to Farrell if we get him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
