Well it sounds like I am in the minority but.....I do not like the idea of a free live stream regardless of the supposed reasons for it.

I have no problem with a stream after the game has concluded but to me we are giving our product away for nothing with a free live stream and sending a message out to fans not to bother buying our higher than average tickets when they can watch for free. I don’t see how this is any different from the RFL giving away sponsorship to stobarts for free and getting slated for it.

I have a season ticket and prefer to go to a game for the experience and social side but I can’t see these thousands of lapsed fans watching a stream for free and thinking ‘yes I will part with the best part of £20+ and go rather than at best turn in for free next week’.

Hopefully I’m wrong or we are building towards a subscription service but, although I will buy a season ticket next year, I have a nagging doubt in my mind saying why when it’s free online....

I couldn't agree more, I think if you buy a season ticket you should be able to sign into something to watch the game. I couldn't make it today as my son was playing rugby.

It's from some dodgy twitter account.

But they also tweeted this afterwards, which I can only assume is a wind up

Think you’d have to be pretty gullible to believe any of that claptrap TBH

Well Workington could've used a recording of that game on Facebook as a marketing tool - especially considering what a dramatic game it was.

Except they can't now.

No, but we can use the footage from our own DVD which is produced for every game. You can have one for a tenner.

So just over 600 Workington fans turned up to see Town beat the top of the table BULLS.I think they need to have a long look at themselves and their own marketing team as they have missed a massive opportunity today to advertise Cumbrian Rugby to 10s of thousands.What an OWN GOAL.

Don’t believe everything Gledhill tweets. There were no more than 350 Bulls fans there today and that’s a fact. Your club sold around 200 tickets for the game (and ripped their own fans off in doing so).

How did the club rip off fans?

In order to try and encourage Bulls fans to come Town told Bulls they could sell the tickets for £12 adults and £5 concessions. Some unhappy Bulls fans today who had bought tickets from the club for the full £15 adults price and £10 concession price. No doubt it’s an “admin fee”.

So the only people who can see Workingtons great victory...is fans who were already there anyway the streaming arguments been done. I just think it's a missed oportunity by Workington IMHO

Was inevitable after yesterday's spat this would happen. Have to take the taunting, dust ourselves down and go again. For those who went, any mentions on the drop goal, even some Town fans were saying it went wide?

Re: Live streaming Workington : Sun Apr 08, 2018 7:09 pm  

God as if people are replying to a drunk Workington fan after his club have won their cup final.

Fact is we’ve really embarrassed ourselves this weekend. Not the result but the way weve carried ourselves as a club. 1 step forward 2 steps back - again!!!

Meet the new boss - same as the old boss.
