Live streaming Workington : Fri Apr 06, 2018 11:28 am  

Been told that after initially agreeing to this that Workington have had a change of mind and will not allow the live streaming of the game on Sunday. They say this is because it will affect the number of Bradford fans making the journey. They're supposedly expecting around a 1000 of us where we normally take between 3 to 4 hundred. i went up twice last year but cant make it on Sunday and was looking forward to watching the stream. Cheers Workington, I hope all the fans who are able to travel take there own pop and crisps. Will I go up next time, probably not. Bulls cash cow for every away game we play when we get a hundred fans at most from other clubs when we are at home. Greedy Workington, will any fans who were not planning to travel have change of mind and travel up because of the lack of a live stream? I very much doubt it.

I was looking forward to the feed as can’t travel due to disability/illness. Oh well, hopefully we won’t play them again.

Seriously?

Because they won't let it be streamed I'm just going to get in my car, do a 300 mile round trip and watch the match live....

Ummm.... No, I won't.

It's the first game I'll miss so won't be able to watch it live or via live stream. I'll be tuning in via radio where possible.

Seems a bit petty to not allow a live stream since being there is obviously preferable and most that can go will go.

They'll be charging us more next like they did at Fev.

So will we just do like the cup games and show it at 8pm in the evening instead?
They can't stop us recording it, probably just the 'live' element of it.

I'll just wait until it's up on BullsTV on the Monday/Tuesday instead.

Poor form from Workington either way though, miserable gets.

To be honest, I thought it was a strange thing for the Bulls to allow at Odsal in the first place, so I fully understand Workington's position. As a first class way to put off some who weren't super bothered about games, it seemed a great idea. If there had been some payment required (I accept that this may be in the pipeline and they are seeing how it goes) then fair do's but as a freebie? I can see little incentive for clubs to take it up.

Being at the game is way better than watching a stream so I'm not sure how many people are persuaded to become couch potatoes by its availability.

As for getting couch potatoes to the game I think it'll take us getting promoted to drag some more of the floaters back.

A live stream would have benefitted those who wouldn't have gone anyway. I had no intention of going to Workington so would have enjoyed the stream. Not allowing it ain't going to make me part with my money and decide to go.
