watching games in the championship

[irishfulham]

if we do get relegated for those of us that cannot get the cravencottage due to living abroad will there be streams like there is now? i watch ffc play online every week but is there streams for games playing in the championship does ne1 know

[ChesterTheTabby]

I hope so. Man, oh man, do I hope so. Living in the States it's hard enough to get Premier League football ( albeit, NBC Sports live extra is great). We go to the Championship, I may be forced to read text updates and watch my father's team (Arsenal) on the weekends.

[PokerMatt]

There really aren't many Championship streams available online.

It will only be for the televised games, which is one or two a week across the whole league. So with 24 teams all getting screen time it means not a lot of Fulham streams next season. We'd probably be on more than, say, Barnsley if they stay up, but I doubt it will be often there will be Fulham streams available.

I'm afraid the only matches that you'll be able to watch would be the small handful of matches that get picked to be televised on Sky Sports or BT Sports :/
...so possibly around 5 or so at a complete guess. If that.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

In the Championship there is literally no way you can watch a match live other than physically being at the game, or if it is on Sky, which happens extremely occassionaly. Otherwise it'll be gentleman Jim and the club's official Twitter updates, with highlights on the football league show on BBC 1 after match of the day. Depressing.

It will be really depressing if we go down. Living in Spain even the Football League show would not be on till after midnight. Would have to record it to get a few minutes of highlights.

It is crazy that I can watch every MLS game (any team) for $50 for the whole season and watch pre-season friendlies or even every USLPRO (3rd division) match on Youtube, but most of the Championship isn't even televised, let along officially streamed.  This is incredibly short-sighted by the FA (or whoever controls such things).

[ToodlesMcToot]

It'd be a self-fulfilling prophesy for some here who, at times, question the sincerity of those supporters who've only recently found Fulham. With less of Fulham to see, there would be much less up for discussion and less reason to come here and discuss it.

Hopefully, the spectre of relegation is only that and Magath the Merciless will keep us up.

Sky control such things.

Agree, they have to sort something out in the future for all of the Football League. It shouldn't matter if you are in League Two or the Championship, if it means paying, people will in order to watch the team they love online.

One thing I know is that if we do go down, we will be on TV more than we are now. For the rest of the season, we are on Sky once, QPR 4 times.

It's on after midnight over here!  Must be after 1 am in Espana.

I found a hotel in Majorca once that had BBC 1.  Couldn't believe it - everything was an hour late...

Don't even think about being relegated. It' all bad

[Northern Cottager]

The haha have been on sky at 12.45 every weekend.

Got sky on now and they are so poor it's unbelievable they're even 4th.

...and sadly, coverage on the football league show is of the "blink and you'll miss it" variety.

Here in USA, there is a channel  BEIN..(channel 192 in the Boston area)....I would have to pay for it but don't However, they quite regularly seem to show second division (sorry, championship) games. I did get it a while back before I had to pay for it. They also show a lot of Spanish and Italian football.

[ToodlesMcToot]

What I would like to see is, if we were to go down, Fulham streaming at least their home games. There is not production effort necessary. Beyond the expense of a camera or three and someone to run them, it could be done rather cheaply.

Unfortunately would never happen, giving people any reason to watch the game on their backside would cost them money. Next season they're going to have to compete with all sorta totes and get bums on seats in the Championship.
