Live streaming is exceptionally difficult, no time to edit etc. So was OK.

This. Live outside broadcast with literally millions of pounds worth of OB editing gear wasn't on offer for these guys. This was the first visit to Moss Lane for the camera man who quickly realised he should have setup with a different camera mount to pull the camera forward of the scaffolding. Not easy when you're unfamiliar with the environment. Think they were struggling with the live feed from the iPhones behind the goal too.

Will there be Alty TV highlights out later? 

We'll have Parky & Sorv's post-match interview later this evening and highlights tomorrow evening (still embargoed!) might be a cheeky bit of footage in the interviews

Hmm, wonder if there's a bug on the PPV site for Mac OS. Get the Pay pop-up on PC but doesn't appear on Mac - anyone else find this?

If Alty TV wish to charge us for watching the game live, should BT not be filming the match, I would more than willingly pay Alty TV and RR to provide the coverage.

Hi Steve. BT Sports own the broadcast rights to the National League so basically they get first dibs. Having then paid the additional fee for individual matches they aren’t likely to allow someone else to muscle in, broadcast separately and eat into their return on investment unfortunately. The gantry is another issue re personnel from different bodies social distancing in a very tight space.

My worry is BT will hold onto these rights and make out as though they're going to broadcast right until the last second and then pull out.

I wonder what would happen if they only wanted to North and South final?

It's a really blurred landscape as BT Sports have never shown much interest in NL North & South in the past (the ridiculous highlights embargo is connected to a separate highlights package for their own web platform). I wont pretend to be an expert on broadcast rights but it's my understanding is that BT have paid for broadcast rights for the National League in its entirety (I may be wrong) and as such could refuse live broadcast for anyone else - again I'm no expert but I don't think they would be so pedantic in this case. We would have to seek permission from the NL (and BT?) in that eventuality.

Dorking claim no direction was given to the FA or NL from the Government about step 2 not being classed as Elite:

It's certainly a confusing message. One interpretation I've read about this statement is that the NL have removed the play-off aspect for NLN & NLS from the proposal as its no longer relevant because the Government won't allow "non-elite" sport to be played ie our level and below. The National League therefore wiping their hands of the matter and so no play-offs. Who knows?

Should be a fun afternoon. Brian's recent Zoom interviews with Stu Coburn, James Lawrie, Greg Wilkinson and Kyle Perry are very entertaining. We're expecting a number of that season's squad to join the live chat room so expect some top banter. The scenes in the dressing room after the match are priceless. Well worth chipping in for a £5 or £10 ticket to boost the GoFundMe over the £30K mark - just follow the link on the club website. Even if you can't spare the cash you can still log in. Can't wait!
