NL Streaming Platform Launched

Why do I get the feeling refunds are off the table for this streaming site?

The problem may be that the match pass allows streaming of any game so although our game is off they won't necessarily refund the money as technically you can still use it assuming any of the games survive today. I could be wrong but I had that thought yesterday.

Yeah it’s a 3 day pass to the whole site - clever, means they won’t give refunds as it’s not match specific.

Ooh great, can't beat a bit of Yeovil v Scunthorpe.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

So I've signed up, verified my email but can't seem to buy a pass.

What am I doing wrong?

You could check in your online bank account that the money for the match fee has been deducted by Visa.I did this and it had been.

Eastleigh v Wrexham appears to still be on so I might watch that and hope Wrexham shoot down the Spitfires, keeping Eastleigh three points adrift of us.

Yep agreed, it's not like ifollow where you only pay to watch SUFC games. Oh well thats £4.75 down the drain. The two week trial hasn't started well.

Interesting.

There seem to be some grumbles that big clubs will benefit the most out of this, if they get 60% of the money from their supporters even when they are playing away, rather than the home team making money from ticket sales. Wrexham fans, to be fair, quick to point out this isn't the system they asked for, and that their owners have already pledged to donate 100% of their profits to the National League to be redistributed.

As practicable and inevitable as this feature is, I believe it will not prove to be 'an overall positive' for clubs like SUFC. If this approach proves popular forward thinking clubs will need to address significant issues very quickly, especially clubs like SUFC.

60% Has got to be better than zero %.

I'll reserve judgement right now.

Just been looking at the FAQ's and saw this:

WHICH GAMES CAN I WATCH?
The fixture list on the home page will only show games available in your region. If a game is not shown in the fixture list, it is not available where you live.

Games taking place during UEFA Blocked Hours (generally kicking off at 3pm) are available outside the UK, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands only.

Fixtures taking place at all other times (e.g. midweeks) are available to view worldwide.
BT Sport games may be made available internationally depending on local arrangements.

Can’t see that. They would have made that very clear and I assume any games running now are viewable if you bought a pass.

I have but out at the moment.

Nah - flicking between games now - all looks fairly decent and there’s commentary….

Yea checked a couple. Some had comms and some didn’t. Sounded like from bbc too be honest, which is fine (and expected).

Quality seemed decent too and no buffering. Gutted ours was called off.

 

[JD]

Impressed.
You can rewind on any game to watch any goals too.

Nice work, streaming far better than IFollow….makes a change for us to have something available better than the League’s above…..you’ll love it!

….why are people worrying about £4.95….this is the greatest concept ever, especially for our rubbish level…..stop moaning!

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Isn't about an hours drive from there?

If I work until 5.30pm at my new job, for example, it’s be impossible to make it on time. Especially traffics etc.

 

[getintoem]

I watched the Eastleigh v Wrexham match. The commentary was from BBC Solent, there was no buffering at all and the picture quality was good. Thumbs up from me.
