The EFL have anounced that all games will be streamed live whilst ever ristrictions are in place for attendance.

Home games can be streamed for £10 per game for non ST holders and ST holders (which is odd as they recommned not selling STs!) get away games streamed for free too.

I wonder if the NL will follow suit, although the infrastructure at some grounds at this level will simply make it unworkable or at best unreliable.

I thought it was the NL that advised against selling season tickets.

Stags have been selling season tickets to previous ST holders.

I doubt many clubs are still selling them at this stage for obvious reasons anyway.

Well BT-Sport broadcast National League games, so it would probably them that would have to provide a streaming service

Not necessarily need to use BT...yes games that are live on BT you will be able to watch via BTs streaming platform but other games for the clubs that have the equipment, technology etc nothing to stop them doing it via an online service along the lines of the EFL iFollow service. That said some clubs struggle to muster the stuff needed for live commentary so live streaming could be a step too far. Shouldnt be difficult for us to do though you would have thought.

That'll be a dozen tickets sold then.

You could be doing them an injustice, its probably a few more, but their personal abacus max out at 12!!

hoping that common sense will prevail when it comes to people at the top is something sadly lacking. for me i'd happily pay per view to watch our games streamed if this is the best option all round. good move from the efl and really no reason why the nfl shouldn't follow suit.

Socialising's always been a huge part of matchdays, though.

Infact I still kept doing the pre-game thing even during my boycott.

So might boozers stream games?

Interesting and attractive option either way.

...or on second thoughts - and given how contradictory government advice really is - could we even have it streamed in socially distanced lounges as the game takes place?

Away games yes.

This is sommat the Trust should be all over like a rash asap. If it’s allowed to be streamed, then get a big tv in the lounges (if not got em already), charge per entry to guarantee numbers and social distancing, bar open, money to be made hand over fist.

Why not home games too?

Dunno how the rules/law/advice/buck-passing stands, but if punters and pubs can stream them why not CFC? Don't the lounges come under the same criteria as, say, the Barley Mow which had several screens of sport last Sat'di?

Someone meets folk at the door, allocates them a table, then they can watch the game from that table with either service or someone fetching beers. Which is exactly what's been happening in 'Spoons and the Burlo, for example.

Okay, it'd mean the bizarre situation of viewing a game taking place the other side of windows on TV, but a few quid to get in alongside ale money will surely be manna from heaven for the Trust.

When we’re hosting games (3-3500 max at a guess) I assume that the club will be keen to maximise revenue and will be able to sell a number of hospitality packages to enable food/drinks to be sold to those who will then take their seats in the stadium.

I also assume that the capacity limits are done with one eye on departing the ground as well, throw in additional folk from the lounges leaving on the final whistle as well and it may complicate matters.
