Regarding the outage with WW during the first half today I just got the following email from Rob O'Neill:

"Yeah I rang streamUK at half time and they told me that they had experienced network problems for other clubs too today and I have retweeted some of the clubs I saw having problems on my Twitter timeline rob_phoenixmp



Unfortunately today the feed in the first half was working for some people and not others. I actually recorded the entire commentary at home and didn't have one drop out.



It sounds like a capacity server loading error or something.



StreamUK should apologise but bet they don't."

I do think he is doing as much as he can do but it is the Football League who decide where the contract goes and what format it is delivered in so until we get in the prem we cannot do anything on our own.

Seems Everton and Sunderland had the same issue as us, so being in the Prem may not even guarantee better service if they use the same company to provide the service!!

I expected it to be something along these lines. It's generally lack of investment in infrastructure of anything. How many plugs can we stick into this socket before it finally blows?

Whomever we're contracted to seems to have pushed a tidy policy through tying us and many other clubs to their piss poor service for 'X' amount for years without recourse.
This is neither the clubs fault nor the guys at WW, it's always the higher ups. Though I do wonder what our options were to refuse this contract.

As I said yesterday I stopped paying out of principle, the way I see it by continuing to pay these people for a deliberately capped/un-invested service is giving them the thumbs up to continue. Enabling degenerate behaviour essentially

If everyone across the country (and abroad especially) dropped their shitty subscriptions you'll see a semblance of action, but not before.


On a more positive note, in response to Consilio's information. that's great to hear. I recall reading last year we were rebuilding the players Gym? turning it into a two floor Gymnasium with new equipment!

I'm not a firm believer in fancy bells & whistles. But, I do believe the modern buildings and equipment will play a part in building the players pre-match mentalities.
