Admin phantom Posted August 24, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Interesting that the Bristol Post have said we're playing Villa behind closed doors, yet won't reveal where or when so as not to encourage people to attend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are pretty used to not being able to go to matches at the moment anyway so don't think anyone would risk it for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 If it were at a stadium then surely its a game that would be good to stick a live stream on and ask for £5 to view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Last season. Yes they streamed the Derby friendly. That one got interrupted by a storm and then the second half as streamed the day after. But the game you're all thinking of was Palace at the gate. Played after we got back from Tampa. They pumped us 5-0 and van Aanholt made Eliasson look like a schoolboy. 4 hours ago, Dolman_Stand said: Didn't they stream a friendly last preseason for free ( whenever that was!) 4 hours ago, Lrrr said: American tour but quality of the stream wasn't great, better streaming services cost money, currently its not a time where the club can give so much like that for free. 4 hours ago, Dolman_Stand said: May have been the year before, it was definitely at Ashton Gate 3 hours ago, bcfcredandwhite said: I thought it was in the states and we were playing Derby - the game was halted mid-half due to an electric storm and resumed some time later.

In fairness it was when they first came down, that game when Tomlin scored the free kick to finish them off felt like a big deal at the time but the novelty wore off pretty quick.
