We have some stability now, which is what the club needed. Well done the Board.

Congratulations to the Club and the Board for having the foresight to take this action early and excellent news for the supporters. Let's hope the supporters do come back in their numbers after being starved of terraces for over a year and that we can quickly get up towards the 1500 level as quickly as possible. As usual, I will be buying my season ticket even though I will be unlikely to see many matches until I am confident of travelling on long distance trains in a Covid free country. So, I hope streaming of home games can still continue for those of us that can't make it to games.

Come on You Darts

I wonder if the streaming service will continue once the doors are open? It would surely be easier for the commentator(s) with background terrace noise than the eerie silence, which was like trying to do a Murray Walker at the snooker!

There was no eerie silence in my house, just me hollering expletives at the TV and the internet. There's nothing wrong with the production and watching the recorded games back afterwards is fine, but the access difficulties, picture freezing and buffering problems associated with live transmission was horrendous and I sincerely hope I never have to watch another live streamed game again. I got a better idea of what was going on from following the Twitter feed and it was far less stressful.

Imagine that over two days at the snooker world championship final - fantastic! Good news that Steve King will be staying as well.

COYD!

I would like to think that most clubs will carry on streaming games even with the hiccups. It gives the supporters who can't make any games a chance to watch their club. As you may know I travel 50 miles for a home game and sometimes can't do that, so to see some away games also would be an added bonus for me. I didn't miss one league match last season thanks to streaming albeit being cut short. I was fortunate that I wasn't that affected by the hiccups that happened.
I would like to hear a Kevin Anderson commentary again.

Exactly Ozy!! A few seasons ago now, but we had Sonytino. Am I right that the game has to be video'd anyway for the club. Whether it is from the same source or from 2 different cameras I don't know. Either way, I would be willing to pay, whether by the season ticket or individual games. May be a way of generating more funds, especially as many supporters may still be nervous of travelling by public transport, to either home or away games. And also fans of away clubs may take up on our home games. Also give the opportunity of retaining supporters who are no longer able to get to games to still feel a part of the club. Just my thought. And streaming with a crowd present and atmosphere will surely come over better than last seasons crowd less stadiums and better than nothing. Like Ozy, I don't think I missed a streamed game last season.

Good news indeed
