Hi all

starting a thread after some really helpful tips from fellow rovers fans (VPN/ talk sport/ address change on bbc sounds) all none of which are helping me listen to my beloved rovers from down here in Bristol. for tech reasons Bbc sounds won't let me listen to bbc lancs live when a game is live, so am looking for some ideas/ tips, any suggestions fellow rovers fans?

many thanks all

Neil in Bristol

Your best bet would be to set up an account via Rovers official website. They offer RoversTV where you can watch live games (providing they haven't been selected for the main game on sky sports) and they offer live commentary. This is available even if a game is on sky sports. There is a fee of course. £10 for a match day pass and £4.50 for the audio commentary. 

There is also a season pass but for the amount of times rovers have been selected for live sky coverage its not value for money imho. 

Im in Sweden BTW and I know what you are experiencing regarding BBC radio Lancashire. They aren't allowed to broadcast rovers games live if sky sports are involved. Not here in Sweden anyway. 

Good luck.

Hello Neil,

 

Thanks for contacting BBC Sounds Support.

 

I’m sorry for the delay in our response. We do aim to reply as quickly as possible, and we are sorry you have had to wait a little longer on this occasion. Thank you for your patience.

 

Unfortunately due to rights restrictions some of these matches aren't available online, they are only on FM in the local area.

 

Please see this link to the programme page, episode which aren't online will have this clearly displayed in the episode description:

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02mdx0k/broadcasts/upcoming

 

I want to assure you we aim to make our sports coverage available as widely as possible, but in some instances we're unable to obtain the rights to broadcast it online.

 

We appreciate your feedback on this issue. I have included your comments into our dedicated Sounds feedback reports which will be seen by BBC Sounds Management and other relevant teams to help with any future decisions and developments of BBC Sounds Services.

 

Hearing from our audiences is greatly important and your comments can be used to improve our services. So your feedback can make a real difference and we appreciate you taking the time to contact us.

 

Kind regards,

 

James Curran

Off topic a bit but I wonder what is the furthest distance a Rovers season ticket has lived from Ewood? Didn't we have a new-ish member on here who bought one and lived in Hertfordshire?

The season after we won the premier league I was studying at Preston but had to travel from what was then home (Buckinghamshire) for non term time matches.

That was a round trip of 360 miles

When I moved down here ( a month after the 92 play of final 😢) I came back up to watch 5 home games the following season, a round trip of about 700 miles 👍
