They only covered the Sunday games on iPlayer or BBC Sport website I believe.

If others want to do that, it's a matter for them. I certainly won't be breaking the law if there's perfectly good commentary available for the bargain price of the licence fee via BBC Radio Wales.

Obviously it's very strange times at the moment, so I can see why the FA want to maximise exposure and gets fans to shell out to watch on a telly or laptop if they can't get to the game. But I do worry that the genie is out of the bottle now and people will expect this to be an option in future (post-COVID) seasons, to the detriment of clubs who rely on punters coming through the turnstiles.

I imagine you will be right. I would certainly welcome the option being available, even if the price was a bit higher.

As a father of 4 kids, it isn't always practical to spend 4 or 5 hours out of the house with my only child who enjoys the matches. Being able to compromise with the other half and still be able to watch the games whilst being at home is something I would personally take advantage of from time to time if possible.

If you can bring in another 50 grand a season for no additional outlay, I'd be amazed if clubs didn't offer it. I can't see it will prove particularly detrimental to attendances myself, it would just give people who otherwise wouldn't be attending the option to watch (elderly people in winter, players who play Saturday mornings, people who can't always get a pass for a whole afternoon or day).

I think that's right.

I will still come over to watch County a few times a season but would gladly, and do gladly, pay to watch live games when I'm not. And this because nothing compares to being at a game but live screening beats radio.

Unfortunately, unlike Sky Sports, BT Sports do not offer a day pass. But they do sell a month pass but it is £25. It is only available on their app though. You can't buy a month pass for the TV.

I take it that it will not be on ifollow .

You could watch it at a pub

Oh wait a minute!

Oh never mind pop over to England go to the pictures or a panto indoors that's safe apparently

Can somebody sum up for an idiot like me please. This is the question, if I don’t subscribe to BT Sport or receive it via VM, is there a way to watch this game?

Thanks for that concise reply, I’ll be searching YouTube then. If on the day anybody finds a link, it might be an idea to post it on the Grandstand Thread. Here’s hoping.

If I can work out how to do it Mike I've got virgin go which means you can watch it on a laptop or tablet your welcome to use mine I can watch on my TV

You’re very kind mate and please don’t think me ungracious if I decline your offer. If I fail on the video then I’ll plump for the audio, I often much prefer the radio to tv anyway ( I prefer the picture quality ). Many thanks
