Price of around £10 is lot cheaper for an away fan then travelling etc. Ice hockey been doing this for years and have learnt this you don’t want to affect the the home crowd but gain from mainly away fans watching steam who don’t want to travel. Honest question - are Ice Hockey meetings mainly at weekends so more likely to get travelling fans? Also where geographically are the teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As word gradually got round, the streaming audience climbed to over 1300. It may well have climbed further after the actual meeting finished. I can understand the (financial) reluctance of publicising the stream, but the technology exists to block the stream from certain areas. Kudos to Pete Ballinger in actually getting the stream going despite having short notice that permission had been granted for the delayed stream. NFL do block the stream locally until the game is sold out, so the technology is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they are at weekends, but there are some big distances, some teams in the league from Dundee, Belfast, Cardiff, Guildford etc. When it’s Manchester v Sheffield or Sheffield v Nottingham etc there are lots of travelling fans who would rather be there then watching on a stream and usually sell out.

It could actually prove a pretty simple, straight forward fix for cash flow in the sport if certain people would lose the self investment and look at the greater good. BC has it in his head that the sport will implode without bt so is just stockpiling clubs to stop the bubble bursting and TR appears to selfish to relinquish his rights. There is no hope is there.

It’s the same principle I guess, regardless of who owns the rights. It’s pretty clear that the tv package and rights for filming are worth more than the potential uplift live streaming would bring. It must be, otherwise surely it would be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that puts the kibosh on the idea then. Since our glorious leader's live streaming intro statement didn't go quite as planned, the whole idea has been off limits.

Bryce 349 Posted July 14, 2019 Just got home from a lovely trip. I have to say that the NSS is a fabulous race track. Belle Vue fans, you are so so lucky to have a race strip like that to visit every week. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
