Oh when the Sainz.......

[RobJames 922]

Oh when the Sainz comes marching in

Along with centre back (bacon) Lungi and young master Tomlinson in Sept. It will be like another 3 new signings. Assuming we have managed to stave off relegation, that is

And whilst I am here I must commend the fine journalism from Talk bollox Radio who came up with the suggestion that once So'ton had sold a defender to the Toon, they might try for Aarons, because, err. Russel Martin used to play for us. Obvious wide of the mark speculation, but swallowed whole by some dimwits on here. So I wonder who will be leaving City for Wolves now Jiménez has been sold. Perhaps Alex Neil will be looking to sign Omo after Taylor was sold.

Meanwhile tomorrow's game at St Marys will be accessible by 'other sources'. Maybe some might wish to put the words 'soccer streams' into the search engine and find a game to watch tonight. Not for any interest, but to ensure they are up to speed ready for tomorrow. Some sites 'may' require a VPN. You can use Proton VPN which is free, but limited. Enough for football., though.

I know some on here have had problems with Canaries TV but since getting a cut-price VPN I’ve been able to watch a rock solid broadcast of every game for a tenner. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Don't get me started on all the issues Canaries TV has had

 

If they just sorted them out I would have no issue paying again, but sadly seems the club would rather pretend all is well

I know that, you know that and everyone on here knows that but would love him to discuss it rather than ignoring it. 

I’ve made it my mission to give him some  training in basic interactions, he’s a slow learner but he’ll get there…

Good  luck ! Youll need it . Its like playing  Handball with a Haystack.  I like his harvesting of any old carp that mentions  us though. He's a one stop shop for your daily drivel.... doesn't seem much of a laugh though. Often doesnt even respond to a tickle.

It’s weird that some people have issues, whereas for others it works perfectly. We have 76Mb fibre, so a reasonable connection, but nothing that fast.

The dodgy streams are coming from Canaries TV, I presume?  In which case, how can people define if the stream or canaries tv is at fault if they're not paying(?!)

As @Nuff Said, whenever I've used the club service it's been pretty solid.

He’ll get there just needs a bit of positive reinforcement and conditioning.

Canaries TV allows you to watch some games. I believe you still need a VPN and the cost is £10 per game.

A VPN allows you to access ifollow which is showing all leagues. Not sure of the cost

A VPN allows you to access lord alone knows how many streaming sites. Free

The streams use the same ifollow coverage, or that of Sky, BT etc when they are broadcasting the game.

It is up to the individual what they decide. Maybe £10 is a hefty chunk out of a benefit payment of £70 or so a week. However, they are still City fans. The same source did allow me to watch the test series.

Aye, I know that, does no harm, which of course is the minimum required of a human.

The Test page was back now that would have been worth watching

I have never been able to find a reliable source to watch matches via unofficial streaming sites, despite suggestions and help from several other posters, @TheDarkKnight in particular (thanks!). I end up clicking through to multiple sites, some of which don’t work at all, some of which just lure me in but then bombard me with a variety of “interesting” pop ups and some of which appear to work but then glitch or freeze later. 
 

I completely get the argument that £10 is a lot of money for some people, but given the overall cost to actually go to a game it seems a reasonably priced alternative option if you can’t be there. If you really can’t afford it, I am not going to say it’s wrong to use other methods. But whether it’s sport, music, film, TV or whatever, these things don’t just happen, the people involved need to eat, so they have at minimum cover their costs. If no-one paid, they would disappear. Since most aren’t charities, they probably need to reliably make a profit. Plus in NCFC’s case, any revenue is a small contribution to the potential success of the club.

You could try CBT and if that doesn’t work, cognitive behaviour therapy.

You must be doing something odd, as it has never been easier. I cannot believe either that someone is still using the internet without using an adblocker - which stops pop ups/ads etc.

Football clubs were thriving long before they were showing games. And I doubt very much the (relatively few) pennies generated makes any difference whatsoever. As to the effect, it is in reality the difference between shoplifting, and not buying an item from that shop.

What income is lost when City are not showing a game ? The thought there is maybe the seller (shop) should address the reason why people are not buying the item from them.  Going elsewhere instead.

By all means pay for Canary TV, but what would you say to those accessing 'streams' where games not being shown ?

I think perhaps you are underestimating the financial clout of pay-per-view football perhaps because it is early days.

The number of country and foreign supporters of the club massively outstrips the Carrow Road faithful.

I would guess by in excess of 100, 000. I have previously had information confirming this, but can no longer locate the source. All I remember is that Norwich City was surprisingly high on the list of foreign support, but of course hundreds of thousands behind the Manchester Uniteds of the world. We were above West Ham, I as remember that surprising me.

With 70% of income from IFollow (I don't know what Canary TV gets after expenses) this represents £7 per head from a sizeable number.

Sky made a fortune from televised football, why shouldn't a club like NCFC also reap benefit, on a smaller scale?

I wish the 3pm rule was to be done away with. It is dinosaur's thinking..

I, for one, would gladly pay my £10 than rely on illegal streams.

I’m on it, it won’t take long but I think by the end of September we will see a fully fledged Cambridgeshire Canary who can post without the sarcastic comments and apparent 0 knowledge 

[RobJames 922]

Sky made a fortune from advertising revenue. The money made from screening the games comes from their monopoly whereby you have to pay for a 'bundle' ie a group of games, not the specific one you want to watch. Televised football is now moving away from that model. Most likely because the genie is out of the bottle.

If all games were screened it would not stop streams. Much as with home taping. Once it is broadcast it is 'out there'. So the revenue would be tempered by the knowledge and practice that you do not need to pay £10 ,when it is free.

Perhaps clubs could set up an 'honesty box' arrangement where this who wish all games were available through Canary TV, could pay in £10 when they have watched a stream. That way their conscience would be salved, the club would then get the revenue. I suspect though, there would be few takers (or givers, in that instance).

Twice you've called it "Canary TV" now, at least get the clubs channel correct when you're promoting the act of ripping it off.

Perhaps discussing the fire in Hawaii is promoting arson.  What a strange chap you are. Very angry it appears. Why not have a lie down, that might help. Possibly.

Has anyone used the free Proton VPN along with the canaries.tv ifollow £10 per game to know whether it works in the UK?

I found a “cheap” VPN on eBay after a pointer from a Scottish poster on here. Something like a one-off £7 for the year. That is rock solid with “Canaries TV”. So I suspect Proton VPN would work too, but can’t say for sure.

Thanks very much Nuff Said. Hope we both enjoy watching the match today
