There will, however, be live audio commentary for international and UK based subscribers. That's a bit pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slarti Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 That's a bit pish. It's fine, you'll be back from your holibags in time to get to the game in person. [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I just don't understand this TV blackout thing. What is it achieving? Where is the harm to viaplay in letting the match be broadcast to overseas subscribers? It's not like they are showing the game and want to maximise coverage. It's totally bizarre. An explanation from anyone that knows would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint@Johnstone Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Not been able to acquire a match ticket yet, but this will be my fourth home game so far and although having purchased a season ticket, only one of those games is covered by that. I think that’s rather unfair and pretty mean by the club to do that. Nevertheless, hoping for a win tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted August 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 In the olden days , when TV Cameras came nowhere near Love Street, we used to attend matches and think nothing of it.

Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs are all showing international subscribers the game. Note how they all were not being played at 3pm on a Saturday. Why have 2 home games in Edinburgh at the same time tomorrow. You couldn't make it up, but someone decided to appease their fans. I wasn't a conspiracy theorist - until today. 👽 Edited August 19, 2023 by truesaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
