Title: No Live Streams In March
Post by: sunburywhite on March 06, 2020, 12:01:37 PM

Fans are reminded that none of Fulham's March fixtures will be streamed live on FFCtv.

When a match has been chosen for live television coverage, whether that's here on Sky Sports or on an overseas broadcast, we are not permitted to show the game live on Club channels.

Bristol City, Brentford, Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers have all been selected by Sky, and therefore will not be viewable live on FFCtv.


So whats the point in having FFCtv?

Worth every penny just to listen to GJ & Jamie. Never bothered with the Live screening as it seems unreliable.

So you can watch all the other live streamed games

Dont be so finnicky, Christ. Remember before internet live streams? You went to the game or you watched Match of the Day.

How about, "Do you guys think it is fair that Sky can monopolise the games and does their sponsorship of the league give them priority over the actual teams want to broadcast?"

Not, "wHaTs tHe PoInT oF fFcTv?"
One blackout month and everyone turns ungrateful

I'm definitely very grateful for FFCTV - both GJ and Jamie, and the live screening when available, which has generally been very good.
Even  Sky's NowTV has problems  sometimes.

One more reason why I dont waste money on ffctv. I did once and it never delivered.  Someone on here suggested hesgoal and I have found it to work fine, Fulham is not always an option though.  Living in USA it provides me with my Fulham fix.

Even after the sky/ESPN broadcast, the best part is watching the 90 minutes on FFCTV and listening to GJ and Jamie.

I find the biggest problem is that we pay a subscription in the belief that we can watch Fulham every week, they don't give a refund for the games they don't show.

But you shouldn't have that belief because it is widely stated that FFC cannot stream when a match has been selected for live transmission.

There is nothing in the advertising that states the level of subscription is based on EVERY match being streamed though, in fact they clearly state it is not.  This is from the FAQ page "Live Video: Live video coverage of games is also available to all domestic and international subscribers, however due to EFL broadcasting rules and regulations there are restrictions on which fixtures can be broadcast on the FFCtv service."

So, if you've subscribed, then you haven't done so under the illusion that you will get every match, even if you wish to believe so!

Though you do get access to extra content:
Additional Content: in addition to live audio and video, subscribers to FFCtv will enjoy full matchday coverage, including priority access to view match highlights – released exclusively to subscribers three hours after the final whistle – pre- and post-match interviews and analysis. On top of this, subscribers will enjoy live match coverage of PL2 fixtures as well as exclusive features presented by the Club.
