thirtyyarder Don't know if this has already been covered, apologies if it has, but will tomorrow's game be on tv?


Why don't you brave the cold and turn up at the Mad stad?


Real fans stay at home and watch the game illegally in the warm with beer.

Might not appeal to everyone but Reading Women are currently playing Man City in their season opener, away at City in the FA Women's Cup

It's live on City's Facebook page, 0-0 at the moment

EFL to offer overseas fans digital live match streaming via subscription from 2017-18

The English Football League is to provide live streaming of every non-televised game to overseas supporters from the 2017-18 season onwards.

Fans in the UK are currently limited to audio commentary by rights issues, but Championship, League One and Two matches will be available to watch abroad from August.

The digital platform, called iFollow, will cost £110 for full access.

Currently, 61 of 72 EFL clubs have signed up to the EFL Digital platform.

However, the EFL says that 11 clubs still have the provision to offer the streaming through their own digital providers including Aston Villa, Bristol City, Queens Park Rangers and Accrington Stanley.

Streaming packages in other sports have given fans the opportunity to follow their teams from afar, particularly in the United States.

The North American-based National Football League, National Hockey League and National Basketball League governing bodies have web-based streaming packages, while in Australia, rugby league and Australian Rules followers can subscribe to NRL and AFL streaming.

"The new iFollow platform represents a potentially significant new revenue stream for clubs," EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said. "While enabling enhanced engagement with existing fans now living abroad.

"iFollow will also present the EFL with an important opportunity to stimulate the interest of new groups of supporters who follow our clubs overseas, which in turn will help support the growth of our competitions on the international stage."

Bit of a game changer for far-away fans like me. Use a VPN and get all games streamed for <£10 a month.

Holy sh it. I would definitely subscribe if the service works as advertised. Never thought I'd be able to watch a full season again unless we got promoted

A shame we can't get it here or I would subscribe in a heart beat.

That said, should mean a stream is available for every game!

Wait, does this mean if Reading are promoted I *won't* be able to watch every game?

I assume it'd be possible to use a VPN to pretend to be foreign. I'd even be willing to pay for a VPN on top for the privilege.

Typically they are restricting this to non-UK. I wonder how long it will take them to understand that the protectionist approach is self defeating and that the people who go to live matches aren't all going to stop going because the game is available on their PC.
When I was in France many moons ago one of the pay channels introduced away season tickets so that you could watch all of your teams away games live on TV.
The result? Home attendances increased as people wanted to see more home games.
Instead people watch on illegal streams of dubious quality and the clubs get nothing.

This is quite possibly the best news I have heard all year.

I don't care what it costs, I will be paying it.

I'm so happy

Bring back the 1960s, 70s and 80s when, outside of Division 1, all you could get was Final Score on a Saturday afternoon, Ceefax, Club Call and dubious quality local radio score updates.

Fantastic news. I will certainly sign up. If we go up, I will still be able to watch the games, as NBC and their subsidiaries cover every single PL game live.
