Legal?

[Roy of the Rovers]

I see that Elgin are live streaming our match on Saturday in their bar and presumably potentially doing us out of some cash from people coming to the game and more likely paying us the tenner to stream it themselves. One wonders if this is legal and how much Rovers get.

Is it likely that Albion Rovers will stream matches live this season?

All our games have been available via streaming and I understand that’ll remain until the end of the season. They’re no longer available in England as the FA has banned it although a VPN can pretend you’re somewhere else to get round that.

My question was regarding the public showing rather than people doing it at home.

Good point Roy.
I'd hope they have paid handsomely to the Rovers for the privilege.
Could be an opportunity for Rovers TV to make some extra cash this season.
It lose cash if price isn't right with opposition club.

Fair enough. I live in Maryland. Is it available there?

It should be, assuming that’s Maryland in the US and not a small village in middle England haha
