Thanks Rob for making me laugh. It has been a long time since I last read Helen Keller's name! For any snowflakes offended by your gest, kindly leave and go to Bristol Rovers. My wife is registered blind and we spent 4 long stressful years trying to change the benefit law for those with Retinitis Pigmentosa. We got as high as the Court Of Appeal but came second.

I already have Sky Sports - so that's one less game for me to see any benefit, and whilst I am sure this represents a fair value deal, being an adult Dolman central season ticket holder, I'm not sure how much my season ticket worked out on a price per game basis. As others have suggested, would it work out better value to take a refund and pay-as-you-go for the streaming? Guess we wait until details of the new platform are announced and go from there. Some of the Red Button games appeared to be filmed by Stevie Wonder under the direction of Helen Keller this season for example. I agree and that's what I will do- take the refund and PAYG , in my case (Sen.Lwr Lansdown) my pro rata refund would be £88, and to PAYG every game is £90. But as I have sky that 90 is already down to 80 and there's a fair chance we will get 1 or 2 more covered by sky when they choose the next 19 games, especially if we're doing well and in the top 6. On the other hand if we bomb and are out of the race before the last 2 games do I want to pay £10 each to watch what will be meaningless games with the team already in Vegas! If you do have Sky I'd think it through before accepting the streaming vouchers as it may work out more expensive.....even more so if there's more than one fan in your house.

Are refunds even being offered? I haven't seen anything to suggest they will be, especially seeing as the club are giving ST holders the chance to watch all remaining games - including the away games which we wouldn't have seen unless paid-for on RobinsTV (for any ex pats or holiday makers, obvs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be £10 per game for the likes of us who haven't got an ST. Robinstv video wasn’t available in UK at all pre-lockdown....only commentary.

I see they have the time tbc, all the last day games usually have to KO at the same time don’t they. Maybe if promotion, playoffs and relegation is sorted by then they won’t need to be?

Bundesliga has plenty of balls placed by the hoardings about 5 metres apart from each other. When a new ball is used the old one is cleaned with wipes by a ball boy and placed back. One idea I wouldn’t mind to stay after everything’s back to normal to stop fans holding onto a ball etc to slow the game down. one German team (think Leipzig) had 2 players pick up a ball each ready to throw, hard for opposition to set themselves properly against not knowing which would throw in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 6 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: I was under the impression that these games aren't under 'the Sky deal' and are gifted to Sky on exchange for not refunding them a fortune. Question however, probably for @Harry and various other people involved with Section82, will there be the opportunity to put in any flag displays before restart? A few well tethered surfer flags, and other banners and flags displayed across the seats might help make things a bit more interesting. The challenge would be getting the surfer flags to surf on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they allowed to plays crowd noises (recordings off us singing) during the match? Double advantage no home fans either Interesting that in the Bundesliga yesterday , there were 20 games but only 5 Home wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Clubs approve new EFL regulations so it is now down to individual leagues to vote on their restart/curtailment, obviously championship is restarting but makes league 1 interesting, I hope a few years in the championship can help Coventry get back to being a stable club. Should also mean Stevenage (or Macclesfield if they get further points deductions) will be relegated to the conference and 2 teams promoted from NL.
