Aston Villa vs Huddersfield Town Pre-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

There'll probably be loads of sites advertising it but come KO they won't have a stream as no TV channels are showing the game live. Only chance imo is there will be someone going live on Facebook and filming it using their phone.

I've seen a game like that on Periscope. Not sure how they do it... they must have a phone battery the size of their head.

Someone was doing parts of the Rotherham game that way. I guess a battery would last at least 45 mins on video and change to a full one at HT.
Won't be long before the club twig though, if loads of fans already know i'm sure they do as well, and it will be piss easy to work out where they are filming from so I assume it will be a polite please stop followed by a less polite leaving the ground if they don't.

The image quality on Saturday from the phone was better than the usual streams. The only negative was the number of people leaving and returning to their seats during the game.

Cheers, for the game list, PWS.

4-0. We're going to run riot. The Holte booming.

Well if anyone were to find a link for a working stream, I would appreciate a PM (however I agree it's almost definitely not going to happen as no channel wants to show Villa- Huddersfield on a Tuesday night)

I just literally bumped into their team. They are stopping at the Holiday Inn across the road from work and were strolling past The Railway as I crossed over.

Did you cripple a few of them, just to make sure?

The club should show it on AVTV.

While it would be great for overseas fans etc, it would be daft for the club to show live games, especially home games.

I'm fairy sure that they can't any way, as Sky have the rights to all live games.

Chelsea TV always show their PL games an hour after they've finished.

As for the Championship, I doubt very much Sky have sold the rights to many/any the territories outside the UK. The Championship is of no interest to them other than stopping their competition potentially cleaning up on non-gloryhunting subscribers.

How many games do you think we'll get to see on telly this season then?

Based on current trend, every two to three weeks, about 20 ?

[PeterWithesShin]

15-20 most likely. But it doesn't matter, why would a club show games, especially home games, live online even if they could?

I didn't think about that before posting, yes it does seem stupid.

Don't know if mentioned but the SSN soccer special is an excellent addition to your viewing option.
It starts at 7.30 and shows the goals as they go in, its the Saturday version with added.... a great programme if the right pundits are on.

Alan Macinally is on tonight so plenty about Villa I would think.

My midweek match nights this season when I'm not there will be laptop and h&v, radio commentary and SSN on mute till we score or our name pops up.Also add a few cans of cheap lager.
