Overseas / VPN only judging by the UK login options available.

Although Dave, the city robins boffins keep a tight lid on this news until 24 hours prior to the game....either because they don't know how to use the computer to tell us or it's because they want to sell as many away tickets as possible!

It has been that way in the past.

The whole vpn thing is a joke anyway. You can be honest and complete the details on where you live and watch the game via a vpn. The club and EFL don't care. Yet, for those of us who have an issue with this etc from a legal perspective (blah, blah, blah) can't/won't watch it. The law really is an Arsenal.

You may be correct - but I would be very surprised if it was as simple as that...

Presumably the league also has to agree, otherwise it would happen far more often, no?

Iirc any game that is outside of the no-broadcast zone (ie Saturday afternoon around 3pm ko) is allowed to be broadcast on the football club's own streaming site for UK viewing. The one stipulation is that the home club has the vote as to whether or not to allow it. Swansea last year said no to our game so it wasn't available via Robins tv.

Good news for me though. My travel and airline fares are all OK for the Stoke City home game 30th Sept. Thank you Sky!

Thank you mods. 

Thanks for not closing this thread or moving it to a different section.

Robbo Robbo Robbo it is all to easy.

When coming out of defence we move the ball square at all opportunities to confuse the opposition into thinking we know what we are doing and how we will progress and maybe achieve a box entry or two (double pivot). This involves the forward thrust of our midfield warriors as much as our forward line moving into positions of concern to the opposition opponents. Once done we can then play back into a relaxed midfield 8 and probe for a winner. Simple really

If only Stanley Unwin could explain.

See point b)

 

it’s funny isn’t it….you haven’t yet worked out that if you have losses as big as ours and you spend all your money you get from transfers (and more) on:

- transfer fees

- agent fees

- signing on fees

- wages

- loan fees

etc

you end up losing more money.

You can quote “net spend”, it’s ultimately horse shit as a true measurement of success.  Not forgetting SELL-ONs to the likes of Ipswich and Preston for Webster and Brownhill.

Sell one good player, maybe buy one replacement and one project (total two players), I’m absolutely fine with. And keep some money left over.  That’s what the good recruiting teams do.  They have succession planning built-in.

We, sorry, “they” sold a couple and brought in dozens.

Thats why you have to keep selling.

TO BALANCE THE BOOKS.

If you recruit effectively / efficiently you retain a bit of control.  You’ll never stop a Webster or a Scott going though.

Another spreadsheet:

We made £21m transfer profit from the sales of:

 

maybe Webster sell-on to Ipswich wasn’t as high but you’re splitting hairs there.

and then spent over £25m on PLUS THE INCREASED WAGE-BILL on:

not forgetting the costs of these loans:

 

if you think Afobe and Pereira came on loan to us for a contribution of their wages, you’re very naive.

To repeat, that’s why you have to sell players.  Shit, scattergun recruitment, loading cost into the club for limited value on the pitch.

I don’t disagree the likes of Brownhill and Webster developed whilst they were here.  Credit to LJ, BUT also credit to them too, their age / phase of development played a part too.  But by the same token, how many players didn’t develop at all.  You can cherry-pick your examples without giving a balanced view.

Does what I’ve posted paint a more rounded view???

 

Thanks Dave. 

Your best flip chart presentation ever!

Yep, Radio Brizz audio feed is working well on Robins TV listen live

I've had some great emails from the streaming team. If you applied for a refund, we will be getting it. They also took the action to at least offer us a tv commentary as it was better than none. 

I have also suggested that because of my radio background, I'd be more than happy to monitor for a signal prior to ko and report as necessary. This has fallen on deaf ears in the past.

I'm sure our issue last Saturday was easily fixable prior to ko if somebody had bothered to read my email I sent them at 2.30pm. 

Anyone had a refund or even an acknowledgement of a refund? I haven't had either of the above.

a bit of Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake there Norn?

Hi Ant, courtesy of another thread as well where Slarti quoted Stanley! Couldn't resist this quote as i thought it rather apt!

Um, because I wanted to know the rules, and if you saw the title why open it, or even more why comment ?

Because a mortal man can embark on is to sell a book. Are you all sitty comftybold two-square on your botty? Then I'll begin

Even their standard email isn't worth replying. It talks about responding via the email to avoid another ticket. When you do this, guess what you get in return?

The same email! Pathetic.

That's because it RTV and not RB  this is rubbish and I think everyone should send a complaint in. It says it's suppose to be the RB commentary on the OS, Rubbish again!

I have just said similar as our contract is with Radio Brizz and not a TV commentary. 

Please can everyone complain. I'm fed up of having this issue every season.

The address again is

Bristolcitytvsupport@streamamg.com 

Yes. We have tv commentary and not radio Brizz. We had this last season.

Working on the app now

Thanks. I can confirm

If others write to explain no signal  maybe they'll realise it isn't just me complaining all the time.

Whether or not Radio Brizz switched on or off the isdn/web link isn't the issue. Someone at streamamg should be monitoring it or even someone in the media. I've suggested this a few times but they're obviously too busy or important to respond.

Bristolcitytvsupport@streamamg.com 

Need to get a refund one minute after ko.......again 

I have just written to the streaming site. Let's see if they can be bothered to reply.

Can't get it either. Radio Brizz is available until 2.59pm. Just heard Brian being interviewed

Aren't Umbro owned by Nike nowadays?

Didn't Nike buy them cos of Wayne Rooney sponsorship deal?

They are, and Umbro don’t actually make anything. It’s literally a brand.  If this model differs from the other big guys, I don’t know. 

Nope. Not any more. Nike no longer own Umbro. It is a brand based in the UK but owned by an American company....not Nike.

Glasgow Rangers.  He became their new kit man according to the computer.
