Quote ="Mr Dog"There is the small complication of Sky holding the broadcasting rights. Club cannot just start streaming games, at least not 'live' - I think Fev have to wait until Monday before making Sunday's game available on RoversTV.'"
I’m sure this is not true, even though sky have the rights to premier league football Clubs not on TV have still been streaming games live , I have watched a couple of Leeds Utd games this way. And there is significantly more money involved in football. I suspect that prior to the pandemic that Fev would not want to stream live games due to the fact that this could have affected game attendance.
I realise that the TV element is not as straightforward to sort as I (we) might like, but given they have worked round it in football makes me think that it is something that could also be sorted for RL. however the bigger thing is that the clubs from November will have to pay their players and therefore will want those players playing games sooner than later, therefore I suspect we will end up having games behind closed doors.
