Fans & Streaming

Post by slay1373 »

As an exile in London, I hope the national league, and football in general allow the streaming to continue even after fans return.

It could be an important revenue stream for lower league clubs for those that can’t travel, I’d happily pay to watch all home and away games and means clubs also get income from away fans and global supporters who can’t travel.

Any reason they can’t? And has there been any indication they will or won’t? Is there anyone on here connected to the club who can answer this or give it consideration?

As a Gulls fan from Norway I sure hope that they continue to provide streaming of the games. I buy both the home and away matches. If Torquay get back in League Two won't they then be included in the iFollow streaming service?

I see the Notts County live stream will cost £12 for our match on Sat. Do you think this is an exorbitant fee given most other clubs charge in the £10 region.

In fairness to Notts County their streaming service seems to be of higher quality than some of the streaming services we have seen along the way. Notts have partnered with streaming experts InPlayer and JW Player to ensure a professional and efficient service, while their coverage is more comprehensive than other National League clubs with four camera angles, BBC Radio Nottingham commentary, slow-motion replays and half-time highlights on offer.

I may be wrong but I believe the only reason that streaming is permitted is because of Covid, BT has rights to matches in our league which they pay for, and certainly if we get promoted there is a similar arrangement in place. so I do not see it continuing after the end of this season.

Yeah, it's a lot, although I recall the King's Lynn was also surprisingly expensive.

I'm probably still going to pay it though.

It does make me laugh that Notts fans have described it as a 'top of the table clash' despite them being in 7th place, 15 points behind us.

The quality of the last game at boreham wood was extremely poor quality and most definitely the worst to date, you couldn’t see who the players were and the picture was very jumpy although it marginally improved in the 2nd half, they clearly realised there was an issue, whilst the picture quality improved it looked like the filming was from an iPhone. Seriously concerned about paying for it again. The coverage was by Inplayer!

£12 seems a bit heavy but its a big game and when else would you ever get the chance to watch a game like this live from the comfort of your sofa (other than this season)

Its £2 odd more than the norm... seems like a no brainer to me. Watch your team live who are top of the league for half the price of the admission fee.

Ok it isn't sky sports but honestly why wouldn't you want to watch.

I read somewhere that the coverage will have four camera angles and slow motion replays so hopefully it will be worth the extra money. Although I have watched all home games as the majority of the money presumably goes to Torquay, I have been a bit more selective with our away games with this being I think my fourth.
