I would have been happy to pay to watch a live stream (as I did for every game last season) but in the absence of that a DM with details of said site would be most appreciated mate 😉

Here is a list of countries that the game is being shown live in https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/4039062/blackburn-rovers-vs-swansea-city/

Here is a list of "Dark Countries" i.e NO EFL broadcast agreement in place

https://www.dcfc.co.uk/page/ramstv-availability-for-tv-games

A totally imaginary scenario

If you happen to be on holiday in a country that is not showing the game live, maybe you could create an account on Rovers TV with a universal email address (i.e gmail) and details of what country you are holidaying in, It may or may not recognise your holiday destination, if it does  and then that email address is also one that is added to your paypal account (during a brief visit back home), you may be able to get this game whilst returning to enjoying your well earned holiday  .

For those in Au , bein sports connect offer a two week free trial and the game is being shown on Bein 2, https://connect-au.beinsports.com/en/subscribe

also free trial available on one of Murdoch's vehicles but f*** him and his companies

One good thing about the letter its a decent resolution on the Rovers site, I'm sure there will be plenty more letters from "Balaji" during the season

It's because it's been chosen to coverage on a foreign network. Not the club/RoversTV's fault.

Not how it works, any country that the game is not being broadcast live in should be available on ifollow or club platforms, as it was in previous seasons and the rules have not changed..

As ARA pointed out he is in a dark country (i.e no EFL broadcast agreement in place)

A couple of games last season and previous ones being broadcast live in  some countries but not here in Au, they were available on the ifollow platform though.

They’ll be scattered around the ground now to make up for the lost ST holders.

Or being rotated 2 at the back, 2 in midfield and one up front to fill out the squad

So regarding the EFL set the prices blurb +  on the Rovers TV site,  compared to Championship clubs on the ifollow* platform as of today, it seems ifollow clubs have early bird pricing as well as some non ifollow clubs, exceptions Rovers and Blackpool (not looked at every club just a random selection)

Rovers               A$319    = 170 GBP

Huddersfield   * A$ 236    =   125.34 GBP

Barnsley          * A$ 236   =  125 .34 GBP

Cardiff               A$264     =  140 GBP

Bristol City        A$264     =  140 GBP

Blackpool          A$319      = 170 GBP

Coventry          * A$236      = 125.34

+ In accordance with the EFL's pricing, this is now £170 for the season and will see supporters able to watch Rovers live in action on Saturdays and midweek fixtures.

Conversion to A$ done at today's rate , ifollow clubs set rate local currency pricing.

Sounds as if a hard copy match day programme is the next for the chopping block.

 

Waggot already spent all the programme production and printing  costs on Your dream home at Brochall brochures?

As it stands presume it’s back to just midweek games for RoversTV / iFollow?

If Rovers TV is tied to the same rules as ifollow it seems so for the UK, this from the Huddersfield site

We've dumbed down so much in the past 2 seasons, i think the difference is now going to be £1-2m in lost revenue

Broadcast revenue will be down 3 million  (Championship 3.8 mill per club) League 1  (667,000 per club)

Finally the media have recognised one of the Summers best stories. There is an honest admission from Brereton about his disappointing form for his first two years here. 

"I learnt a lot of things out there, different styles of play and I'm going to bring it back here (to Blackburn)."

I think it will stay like this until the supporters welcome the Venkeys back. They would then spend time at the club and start to understand how it operates. They currently rely on the three stooges instead of managing the club.

You should write to the club and ask them to offer Liz Windsor a season ticket *, a snowball the size of jupiter wouldn't stop them attending Ewood then.

*If she say's no, offer her an away shirt as well , she won't be able to resist that beauty

Would you give Mowbray any more money to spend?

I personally wouldn't , I'd just give it directly to the  North East failing footballers benevolent fund,  

but considering She and her brothers (probably) employed him and continue to - yes. Why wouldn't they? , he is still their chosen manager ,if they don't trust him , they should sack him .

Then again he may be holding them back from splashing the cash again 😉

Oh well, looks like top 5 in the Premier League and champions league is now out of the equation now the 5 million per season and loans , as just become loans.

Beginning to think that Desai women tells fibs

It’ll be circa £3 / month and released as soon as we can get it ready. That £3 is roughly what each member generates in ad income each month for the site. 

I know people are talking about AdBlockers - to be absolutely clear, if everyone on the website runs an adblocker the site will go under. It costs money to maintain and if you don’t see the ads, we don’t gain the revenue to pay the bills. The ads are the main source of income.
 

So I would hope everyone would either put up with the ads to help us keep the site alive… or sign up for the ad free version when released. 

Don't know what the posters above were viewing on (re spammy ads) but via windows on chrome it as been horrendous last couple of days ,as well as pop up ads when switching threads,  6/7 ads per forum thread inbetween posts besides the terrace store one , ads in the sidebar etc, seems to be only a problem on chrome* , on MS edge gaps where the adverts appear on chrome. Looks fine on firefox though.

*tried on two different windows based system one with a fresh install of chrome, same result.

oops, bloody hell thought it was Wednesday today !!!!!!!

No, they’re going for the mutual understanding to announce the stream at the same time as Leeds, only for Leeds to jump the gun, approach. 

Considering as you say Leeds jumped the gun one/two days ago, with just over 4 hours to go till kick off, still a bit secret squirrel on Rovers part.

Still no details on Rovers TV regarding this or subscriptions for the season, but they have added a paypal payment option which is a good start.

Rovers will be streaming the game themselves. Don’t buy it from Leeds, Rovers don’t get any money if you do that. 

Are they going for the-  first rule of streaming the leeds game live club is not to talk about streaming the leeds game live club - to build interest?

I'd say the club probably still use Windows 97. Mowbray on internet explorer. Possibly over dial up. 

Would certainly explain why the person on the other thread couldn't get through to the ticket office on the phone. cut backs - Can't afford to replace the phone  splitter  :)
