Aiston Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Not missed a Newcastle game this year whether I was at the match, at the pub or using the many streams I have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 How do I remove an option? Want to remove the "I´m at the game" option, lets say for arguement´s sake that the game is an away game and you can´t attend. If some admin could clean it up that would be swell.

toon25 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 There really is nothing like this place on a match day. I find it far far better and more efficient than any other service on the internet, bar streams - both in terms of updating the score and seeing how we're generally doing on a match day. I also find Sky Sports intolerable at times. Phil fucking Thompson man. What a twunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 If it's on Sky/ESPN, then I watch it on there. If it's a home match, nowadays I'm probably there. If it's an away match, a mix of illegal stream/SSN/radio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 3pm kick offs aren't shown mainly because of the effect on attendances throughout the league, especially in sunderland. Probably right tbf but it's a right pain in the arse having to resort to the radio away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Living in London I attend maybe 5 or 6 away games and 3 or 4 home games a season. The only other way to follow it in the UK is via an illegal stream. I can't even listen to the radio as local radio doesn't broadcast football on the internet. I really wish someone would come out with a professional subscription service that meant I could watch the Saturday games legally and pay for it, the Premier League is way behind the times on this issue IMO.

I suppose the agreement not to broadcast all the matches would also cover online subscriptions as well. As well as getting all 380 live games over here, the channel which broadcasts the matches also have an online service to watch games on your computer live.

Yeah, I know the reason they don't do it, but it's a totally outdated concept IMO. They should be making money out of the people who want to watch on TV and on the internet, not blocking them. I'm still not convinced it would affect attendances that much, although it might force ticket prices down a bit. Would like to see it trialled for a season or two at least. Basically I just want to be able to watch the games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Of course it wouldn't affect attendances. All you have to do is look at TV games and midweek games and so on, to see that people will go to the match if they want to go to the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 But will they go to Gateshead if they can stay in and watch Newcastle play away? Good point I guess, probably less people would. But Gateshead only get a handful anyway, don't they? Is there any evidence that their attendances benefit from when Newcastle aren't playing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I play sport every Saturday so getting a season ticket just isn't a viable option, I've made a few games this season though most I can't make as my games usually start around 2pm. If there was a service where you could pay to get every Newcastle game streamed online I'd happily do that, its totally daft that they don't try to make money from it rather than trying to block it all off.

relámpago blanco Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I reckon its because theyve found a secretitve way to save the british pub industry, many a landlord tells me they would be out of business without the foreign satellite, I know of 2 who quit their pubs to become taxi drivers when we went down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I suspect Gateshead have their fixtures arranged round ours for that very reason so they don't play at home when we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know think many would go if Newcastle were playing at all at the same time. Especially with illegal streaming/pubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have no idea on the figures, but I imagine Gateshead attendances are higher on cup weekends/times when Newcastle aren't playing (be it midweek or because we've been moved for telly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 If the Toon were playing away and there was no TV, no net or no radio coverage I would still not go to watch any other team local or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I quite like Lockwood + Moncur. Usually have them in the background with a stream on the laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Can't understand people who listen to the radio especially online when you can pretty much watch every game at the pub or on the computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The only reason I'd listen to the radio is that it's a lot less hassle than stream hunting. Especially when the full game (or near enough) can be seen on the TV a few hours later. Also, radio = live, often with video streams you're a few minutes behind and you already know what's going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Tho tbh, this is becoming pretty irrelevant for me, because being in the US = significantly easier to watch Premier League games, no matter what time they're on. Unless they're midweek and I'm at work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
