Live Streaming next Season

It is obviously a subject close to my heart, as it is with most ex-pats. I read somewhere (on the Southend United Football Club FB page?) that streaming in the National League was forbidden due to rights issues with BT Sport who show games from that division. At the same time someone said that free commentary of games would be available on local radio I don't know what truth there is in that but I'd have great doubts that ifollow would be put in place for a couple of relegated clubs. even for a limited time. I'd clearly be interested, even if it were just streaming for home games. I hope Tom Lawrence or the Commercial Department will look into it as I'm sure any source of income would be welcomed

Correct in both points re: broadcast and radio.
BBC's local commentary is available for free online each and every game, providing the BBC send someone.
Last season, the spartan support for Eastleigh were up in arms because Radio Solent decided to save money by sending their freelance guy somewhere else.

Is that certain? It hasn't been in the past because it has been used on iFollow. It would be great for me if radio commentary for away games was allowed live on the internet.
 
Many have mentioned BT Sport. Are these games free to watch then? You can't get a day pass like you can with Sky Sports.

You'll need a BT Sport subscription to watch the live games. I'd expect us to get a few, especially an early one if we're away to the likes of Weymouth or Kings Lynn, prime territory for a nice drubbing and a 'welcome to non-league' feel.
They have a highlights programme as well, which is then 'free' on that Premier Sports channel you don't need a subscription for.

The other place to watch out for games is BT Sport youtube channel, they sometimes put games on there.

Will do.

Yes, I'd be happy to pay as well. As I said earlier I don't see why the live stream shouldn't be available for away matches, at least. In order to prevent home fans watching it wouldn't be available on a one match only basis and I guess we would have to pay a full annual subscription.

Bearing in mind how pleased the club sounds about last season's income from iFollow:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN 2020/21

We can today confirm the number of iFollow match video passes sold throughout the 2020/21 season.

It would be good if away games offered a choice of backgrounds like Zoom does so it doesn't look as if we are playing down the local park.

What would you prefer?
Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically…
The real problem is how low the cameras will have to go at the likes of Maidenhead. At least you'll get the same view as Phil!

Maidenhead have a scaffolding gantry which commands a good view
 
Why do we want live streaming? I thought most would want to go to live football matches now? It's been over year and half! Actually I did get to go 2 games.
