Today's game

Delighted with the win but I'm getting increasingly frustrated at having to watch on TV. I know there's nothing we can do about it until the virus is tamed but to be so detached from the action is a pain.

Rant over.

What's peoples experience of the streaming service? Mine's is pretty poor TBH. I've watched but 1 game where I viewed 90 mins without interruption to the broadcast. Yesterday, there were 4, maybe 5 'break ups'. I certainly didn't pay to look at a photo of a bird sitting on a couch using a laptop !! Time for The Society and A Burrows to have serious words with whomever the provider is. Not good enough !!

Total agree sieb 1886 with everything you have said. I have stated for a long time that you have to be seen to be professional off the park as well as on it. The quality or I should say lack of quality of our broadcast of games is embarrassing. The fact it is included in the deal for my season ticket is why I watch it. I can totally sympathise with any of our fans who hare paying for this for each home game. Club have to come out and apologise for the poor service and rectify it ASAP

I'm sure the club are as frustrated with the breaks in transmission as the rest of us and they'll be asking the providers about it.

We're at Livingston next and they seem to be charging away fans £20 for their stream. Now that's just a rip off.

Yes it is. 1 000 subscribers at even £15.00 is better than 700 at £20.00. I assume that somebody at Livi has done the economics and decided to go with £20.00. For the first time this season, I'm not signing up.

Me again. I've just looked at the Livi explanation for the £20.00 cost. I'm not convinced.

I have sympathy for the club on this one....when they did it 'in house' for just a handful exiles it was actually pretty solid. They obviously felt they needed a better provider for everyone so contracted out and have been let down.

From my pov, the value for money I get is still excellent even with a dodgy product - it works out around 4 quid a game so no complaints.

But if they're charging more than a tenner a time it's a bit iffy. I don't mind the lack of intro/half-time/analysis the way Hibs, Aberdeen (and perhaps others) have done but the streaming has to be near to perfect and they can't have a babbling idiot as co-commentator.

Agree a hunner per cent on the co-commentator comment. But, I can't support the vibe we've just been 'let down' by the provider. Surely to God, our Board wrote something into the deal that if served up a 5hit fest service online we're given some sort of recompense. By 'we', I don't mean us subscribers, I mean the Club. What the Club then does is up to them. But given how much 'we've' supported and paid ST's this year ...
