That article reads that UK residents can watch our championship matches that are not 3pm on a Saturday or on TV. Is that true? For some reason I thought we couldn't watch any games and it was only international fans that could really make us of the video player. If true it becomes a little more interesting some months potentially.

It is true, but it will be barely any games.  Maybe 5 or so for entire season.

It's pathetic, led by pornagraphic,vice filled businessmen,who can only think of  always that extra penny..

Football & many sports got their first ground root interest with lone Johnny,or dad & son listening to those great commentaries on a typical cold English rainy night..

Now they murder the one remaining pastime of learning to listen and imagine the reality of life being played out with support of a commentator,where blind people are by his skillfull repertoir given a picture that they can easy imagine...even see..!!

It's firstly discrimination against blind people and other disabled people,so there must be a law to be found that protects their and everyman's right to free radio...on all  considered towns major events...

Hiding behind private organisation rules ostrogises them from any decent thinking man's obligations..Business should refuse to back them..Where's

"News of the World", or "The People" journalstist when you need them..

 

It would be a great idea if fans around Britain boycotted all broadcasts and Fans Tifos,shouted it out with banners,that free live sports radio broadcasts are the rights  to ALL people...

I don't know what our grand parents would think..

Shame shame on football clubs allowing it to happen.shame on fans who have let it happen...:mad::@

The people of Britain have forgotten the "others" within their society..shame.!!

One element of recent discussions with the club, question raised by members

 

Live streaming in the Championship – why the £4.50 a month fee for Audio? – Foxes Trust

You could have just looked at the FAQ’s 


https://www.lcfc.com/foxeshub/faqs?lang=en

 

Why do I now have to pay to access match audio when it was free before?

As an EFL participant, the Club is bound by the terms of the EFL’s central audio-visual rights contract, which requires all live matchday audio-visual packages provided by Club channels to be subject to a minimum charge. The Club has priced these products at the lowest price point possible to make them as accessible as possible for our fans while complying with the EFL’s regulations.

And you're calling out that it's the clubs fault, when it isnt.

No, i'm saying the club don't give a flying **** about the fans, regardless of this.

Don’t see the problem here.

 

You moaners probably blow a tenner on Netflix a month, £6 on Amazon Prime. 
 

£4.50 a month to listen to the games if you can’t get access elsewhere is a bargain.

It's business, do not pay it. Touch wood streams have been plentiful this season, apart from Tranmere which was to be expected tbf.

Good to see you posting

Maybe I am misremembering but wasn't this also the case last time we were in the EFL as well? Not saying that makes it right or anything and it is certainly more expensive than it used to be ten years ago.

In every match thread there are people as for DMs with links to live streams, which always surprises me. There are a ton of sites that collate the links to streams to every game and, so far this season, I've been able to get a good stream of every Leicester game with no problems. I didn't try for the Tranmere match as I was working. I usually use total sportek and once you're used to quirks and pitfalls, it's a doddle

My problem with Foxes Hub is theyve taken one marketing approach for everyone, and basically told UK residents that they can watch all the games. Which obviously isn't the case.


There should be separate pages and marketing campaigns, and clearer messaging around the availability of the live video stream depending on your location.

We are not bound by anything we said no to the superleague..this is atrocious and anybody who doesn't see it..I pity them and my club for not taking it on..Again shame...

PS,I haven't listened to an Audio city game for 10 years,so it's not anything about me..or my own egoistic selfbut getting young families or son & dad & lonesome Johnny has previously mentioned including. Albert's grandma.

 

LCFC must make a stand on "payed Audio" it's vile it's disgusting...I haven't the strength of length of life to take it further..but someone has got to make big business ashamed of this action..

 

Free radio for All budding young kid footballers,that teaches them listen & learn and learn to listen,but especially for the old,blind and disabled...

What a fcuking excuse of

the big society...

Hang your heads in shame...

Top & other owners have to be made aware,that

" others count too"

Buddhist really..???  !!!

 

Oh yes this makes me fuchsntf really angry..some creatures have wormed their way into a previously free market and forgetting the British ideology behind free radio..they can all go to their temples and pray to their idols of gold..!!

Jaspots and dipsticks the whole

Of them..God I am glad I am leaving this pathetic shit soon..Fcuk this hiding behind contracts.Pirates at their evil worse..:mad:

About time they just got rid of the ridiculous Saturday 3pm blackout rule.

When we could watch every match through covid I had both sky and bt packages. As soon as we couldn't, I had neither.
