Away game showing at home stadium

[broughtonblue]

Just watching the west ham v burnley f.a cup tie on telly. Apparently burnley are showing the match at their stadium on giant screens as it's a long way to go on a Monday night. Pie n peas match, great way to bring in extra revenue I think. Your views

They used to do beam back screens in the suites at the Walker's whilst we were in the Premiership. (limited games though)

Used to enjoy watching the games with Walshy and have a bacon cob.

I can't really imagine a giant screen at the Walker's though.

We've done that in the past. Hardly groundbreaking.

'bacon cob?' where you sit? Surely something more refined!

I remember during our cup run in 04/05 season they did a beamback for the Charlton game.

Just thinking it makes sense, I have to get up early for work so won't be making the long trip to Cardiff on a wet feb night, but would almost certainly pay a few quid to watch the game at the walkers with a couple of pints

They wouldn't be allowed to for contractual reasons.

The Burnley - West Ham match is being shown because it's on ESPN and I'd hazard a guess that Burnley subscribe to the commercial ESPN package just as pubs do.

That's why beambacks are always televised games such as play off finals/cup finals etc.

It'd still be good if we did it down the walkers for our televised games. Sometimes bars in the city centre would rather show Aston villa vs arsenal that's on espn than our game at 5.20 on ss1.

The only times we'd do it is if our away allocation sold out.

I guess it may be a possibility for the Forest game..
