Well I am just delighted. Thank you, Mark. ..... A real boost for exiles long term.... Watch yes but live, not necessarily Brian. In normal times live screening and televising of games is banned on a Saturday between (I believe) 2.45pm and 5.15pm although I think this only applies to UK & Ireland for our games. I suspect this ban shall be reinstated sooner or later.

A fabulous gesture by Mark and who knows where this will take us. Certainly he's a master of PR. And today we're in almost every newspaper and have appeared on every news channel and Web feeds. This type of PR can only help put ARFC on the map. Some great news and I applaud it. Mark could do a Simon Cowell and buy an island and ignore his local community. He isn't and he puts his money where his mouth is. And he's been at around half a dozen Rovers matches in the last year. And he has supported the fund raiser in a big way. A brilliant initiative that, as Laird says in an earlier post, most clubs would bite your hand off for. I just hope he can arrange for Prince Harry to commentate at the Queens Park Derby match 😂 Peter McClurg

I suspect this ban shall be reinstated sooner or later. I'm a bit confused here as I'm not the most tech savvy person around. If fans are still not allowed at games then we can stream our home games live but when the ban on fans is lifted we can stream it live but it won't be available to our 'exiles' in the UK, or anyone in the UK for that matter, so we would really rely on people outwith the country paying for the matches. Can someone clarify this? Ronnie

The likes of the old firm and others in lower divisions too have had this service for some time but it’s only this outside British Isles who can watch live matches with a 3pm k-o.

Thanks Roy but if fans are still not allowed in we could live stream our matches?

As it stands, as mentioned in the Betfred cup thread, clubs can live stream first round matches as long as they're not on TV. Haven't seen anything about subsequent rounds or the league anywhere.

Clubs and broadcasters are able to show/stream 3pm kick offs currently, Sky and BT were showing 3pm games when English football restarted in June, and Sky also struck a deal with our premiership clubs, and the English leagues below the Premier League to allow individual clubs to stream their home games. I’m pretty sure this rule will stay in place until grounds are at full capacity
