With fans returning for these games will we have the Streaming service as well,or is this finished now???

Just my opinion but I  would have thought streaming will continue for the rest of the season at least as no away fans allowed and also some people may not wish to attend as just coming o0ut of covid and stadium restrictions where you can sit etc.

Surely the Torquay game will be especially if they can still win it and it's not on  bt

[andrewflynn]

Streaming will continue.

[Toff Apple]

Streaming will continue.

Selfishly i hope it continues into next year too, i've seen more away games than i could ever get to.  Not sure it will though

[ManagementGuru]

Confirming Andy Flynn's comment we will have streaming for the last three games, as well as fans.

And for next season we have asked the league to clarify the position as to whether streaming will continue.  I have been discussing this with TicketCo and working on the assumption for now that it will be continuing

To continue streaming is a double edged sword: on purely selfish terms I would love to see it continue next season.

However: would streaming next year reduce matchday income not only from tickets sold but from food, drink etc? Would this compensate for added income from exiles paying for the stream?

Maybe a compromise for the live stream to start at, say 5pm or 10pm Tuesdays, after the game has finished, especially if the national League won't allow live streaming?

Streaming doesn't give the social aspect nor the important the childcare aspect (parents bringing the kids gives a partner a break).

Ideally they'd all come down to watch us. I do fully get your point.

And a dad and 2 kids watching the stream is one single ticket and no snacks or drinks etc as opposed to 1 adult tickets and 2 kids and the add on expenses.

[andrewflynn]

Personally, I wouldn't like to see it continue across the league next season. Of course I appreciate that it keeps exiles connected, but we don't exactly have the highest travelling support in the league. I fear the continuation of streaming would see us have some very poor turnouts in support of the lads.

EDIT: Plus, the same can be said for away attendances at Moss Lane.

[Alty Bri]

I agree with Andrew that the continuation of live streaming would not be beneficial to the club.

 more points please Alty.i agree with Andrews comment and i thank him and management for getting back on this season.9 more points please Alty.

The other drawback of no streaming is the arsehole clubs who won’t let radio robins in. This must annoy other clubs too. Could we have a word with the league and see if they can stop this unnecessary constraint?

[wayno]

Keep streaming so it's an option and charge accordingly for it to make it profitable

[andrewflynn]

Call me overly traditional but I just think streamed games get away from what non-league football is supposed to be about.

For me, there's something quite rewarding about following the team away from home to watch the game. You make the effort to be there and that should count for something when you share your opinion at the end of the game: win, lose or draw.

If you keep streaming past COVID I just fear there'll be a rise in casual armchair support, particularly when we play away from home. It would do my head in if I'm being honest. If I've spent £100 on an away day I don't want to hear about how sh*t we were from someone who paid a tenner and stayed at home, as high and mighty as it sounds.
