Nothing free to air then in the early weeks then.

Have the club said yet how season ticket holders who don't have Sky or BT can watch the games? Just find a stream like usual or will they put out the game on the website/YT even if it's directly after the match has finished/

I thought the Sheffield United game was on Pick?

Nah think it's just on the main Sky channel and will be part of the Man. City-Arsenal "extravaganza."

First Pick game is Norwich on the Friday.

I actually don't have a season ticket. I was just interested in what the club were suggesting bar giving refunds. If life was as normal and you couldn't get to the Chelsea game (say in another part of the country) you could always go down the pub and watch the match. That won't be an option so thought the club might be putting the game as live on the YT channels at least. Surprised if they just said go and find a stream somewhere and money back is all we're doing.

They're hardly likely to tell everybody to go and find a stream! I don't see how they could get around the collective broadcasting contracts in order to televise individual games. If you want to watch everything, you'll have to stump up. It's restarting so's everybody gets paid, that won't happen if they give it all away.

And with the 14th of June cut-off for deciding how STHs want their refund paying, we won't actually have any season ticket holders when we kick off.

I just hope none of the games find their way onto the more obscure free channels with their endless extra long adverts for bloody Dormeo beds.

I watched Pick recently for a crime show. If you found Quest infuriating for said adverts you ain't seen nothing yet....

Dave averages 6 minutes a pop. They managed 7 minutes for the recent Red Dwarf episode. I gave up after the third set of ads and just recorded it.

I'd be surprised if they showed adverts during the game, tbh.

Every time Watford get a goal kick they can show a film.

Nah, that only applies when Watford have the lead, and they've already played us twice.

I’m just thinking of a film that equates to the amount of time Ben Foster takes for a goal kick. Maybe the Shawshank Redemption?

Every James Bond film, back to back, even the mad Casino Royale with the American James Bond.

They say there will be no ball boys in the stadium and, of course, no spectators.  So what is going to happen when the ball is launched into Row Z?  Who is going to fetch it back?

It'll be left there for 72 hours and a new disinfected one will be used I would imagine.

I can't believe I've just typed that, what the fuck?

Thank fuck Tonev doesn't still play for us, amount of balls we'd need we'd be bankrupt after one game.
