Yeah a rearranged Saturday game too....although nothing that City would lose financially in terms of stay away fans (like the Brum game)with Boro being so far away.

And Its Smith Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Is this game on red button? Doesn’t seem to be? Would the game be on BCTV for UK viewers for a tenner? Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 BCTV will be showing it. A month subscription is £12.99 I think, but only outside the UK or via a VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Believesham Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 11 hours ago, Monkeh said: No, i don’t think rearranged Saturday games are part of the red button deal We've had a lot of games "re-arranged" for Sundays and they've been on the red button. Unsure why both games aren't on but could it be anything to do with a limit to the number of times each team can be televised? In practice this would stop teams re-arranging fixtures themselves too much. Apparently it was City that turned down the opportunity to broadcast the Birmingham game though, Boro may have refused because they want a bigger home crowd Either way, it's a bit of a shame because I thought these games are exactly what the red button idea is for, with so many games coming up this month.

SinéadB Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I believe the home team can choose whether it is or not.. We had a recent game that we chose not to show on the red button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's correct - the game does qualify for red button but only at Boro's discretion (the same applies to BCTV for domestic viewers). We chose not to allow our home game v Birmingham to be shown.

RedM Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Selred said: Probably because if it's not on the Red button, more fans will turn up in person..... It’s a standard match for their ST holders, but maybe a few less will make midweek games than on a Saturday. As far as our fans go it went from a Saturday fixture to a night match well over 500 mile round trip, and there is the time it takes too. Seems a bit unfair if fans can’t watch it without paying due to being peanalised for success in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it is only available on their streaming service (and BCTV) to overseas subscribers - who wouldn't have access to the red button anyway. It's more to do with maximising the matchday attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Think some games should be made available domestically via BCTV or whatever if the mileage from ground to ground is over a certain amount, fans can't be expected to travel from Bristol area to Middlesbrough, especially midweek. If the mileage was over a certain amount then there wouldn't be a great reduction in terms of fans not making the trip, perhaps offer 1 off games for this reason at X% of the ticket price.

CyderInACan Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/international-livestream-available-for-boro/ NTERNATIONAL LIVESTREAM AVAILABLE FOR BORO Supporters are advised that City’s fixture at Middlesbrough will only be available via an international stream to overseas BCTV+ subscribers. The Robins make the long trip north to the Riverside Stadium tomorrow evening (Tuesday, 7.45pm KO) and Middlesbrough have opted for no domestic livestream to be available, meaning the game won’t be shown on Sky’s red button either. Tickets will remain on sale from Supporter Services until 4pm today (Monday). After that time, supporters without tickets will need to pay on the night at the Riverside Stadium. On BCTV+ for our ex-pat supporters only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you had to do was sign up and become a member of CATS. Mind you, London is nearer than Middlesbrough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
