xerox6060 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Can someone remind me are the club allowed to beamback matches on Saturday afternoons, looking at train tickets for Leeds and PNE on a Tuesday night but wary one of both could be beamed back.

Curr Avon Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 No. It's due to a 1960s ruling called the "3pm Blackout" and there are many articles available online with the advent of new TV deals. Here's a recent one for you to look at. https://www.thesportsman.com/articles/tv-times-will-new-broadcast-rights-packages-spell-the-end-of-3pm-games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was! https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/brentford-beamback-confirmed/ My apologies to xerox6060 and all. I thought that the UK tv blackout included beambacks.

Contrary to what CurrAvon said there has been beambacks on a Saturday at 3pm before. For example Brentford 1 v 1 City in April 2016. Don't let that affect your decision whether to go to the match or not though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Not only lose - but lose 5-0 seems to be the theme. No more please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintherobin Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think the away tickets need to be 100% sold out for a 3pm Saturday game for it to be available to be chosen as a beamback game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. 4 0 at Stockport in the FA Cup 4th round 1994 There were 3 huge protector screens placed at the front of the East End. Seem to remember it being pretty full.
