If he come over from the US it would’ve been ridiculously harsh to have him just play one game I imagine he will get the bounce one tonight plus was training Saturday pre match and maybe Wednesday night too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a young American staying with me last summer while he tried to get a gig in Scotland. He trained with Arbroath a few times. I tried to tell him he'd never get a work permit before he even came over. Have you ever tried telling an American something they don't want to hear? Anyway, not why I looked in. I was just wondering if you'd let us clone Dick and Ian Campbell? Just asking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light-hearted on the whole but informative in parts too. Makes the fans feel closer to the club. We get no insightful/spirited direct updates from players. Lucky if we get a player video interviewed after a match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It would be very unacceptable for the club to come out and openly say streaming is only for those outside of the UK, however you can bypass this by using a VPN, which can be done by doing the following.... However, if the club had a sponsorship deal with a VPN provider for Arbroath FC TV, it would be unacceptable if the club didn't give their sponsor the expected exposure such a deal would warrent..... such as details of how to sign up for, set up and use said VPN which may or may not help with streaming our matches from within the UK..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Yes I know non-UK is legal and yes I know about VPN. The question is, will the club bother to broadcast a live stream for International fans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 https://www.arbroathfc.co.uk/ppv-and-streaming/ Quote The live streaming of League matches in the UK & Ireland is not currently permitted in Season 2022/23. Supporters will recall that streaming was introduced (with the consent of Sky Sports) to allow supporters to watch matches when they were not able to attend in person due to Government restrictions for the pandemic. That clearly is not the case anymore. However, the SPFL recognise this has been a valuable income stream for clubs and they are continuing discussions with Sky. It is clear that, as already advised, (a) blocked hours will be in place this season (meaning no streaming from 2.45pm to 5.15pm on Saturdays); and (b) virtual season tickets will not be permitted. Unfortunately this means we will only be able to offer Arbroath FC TV this season to overseas supporters. So it looks like we will offer an international stream, but that it won't be valid with season tickets? So pay per view outside the UK only? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Is there anything stopping the club from showing the whole game "as live" starting at (say) 8pm on a Saturday night and leaving the stream up for a couple of days? I would happily avoid the rest of the scores for a few hours to watch the game in this fashion any weekend I couldn't get over to Gayfield, and I'm sure someone on here claimed to rewatch the game every Saturday evening after atteding the live match. As a real life example, I was holidaying in Galloway last September when we played Hamilton at Gayfield. It was no real hardship to go walking in Glen Trool all day, play music rather than have the radio on in the car, then stream the game in the local pub later on. Including a facility such as this in the season ticket might increase sales, and advertising an "as live" PPV might also raise revenue. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
