With the club about to play the two most significant games arguably in its history- I am concerned that not everyone will be able to see the matches.
Could Dave F lobby BT and perhaps negotiate that 24 hr access is set up - obviously in receipt of a fee for home viewing , so that everyone can participate. This would be great PR for BT they may get more subscribers ultimately as a consequence , it will be additional income for them and I’m sure it isn’t a technological biggy - Sky have done pay for view type things for years.
In the circumstances there is no access via pubs clubs because of the Covid restrictions so there are few alternatives for fans.
I am lucky I have BT sport - although I could apply for a ticket as a United We Stand contributor ( nice gesture that by the club) I don’t want to deprive other fans ( plus they lose more often than win when I attend) and I’ve seen every game on the tele or my iPad so I don’t want to “break the chain.”
Irrespective of what happens next weekend it seems more than likely that BT may show our game at Barnet. If things have gone really pear shaped for us it would be something that Torquay fans would be interested in if their game at Altrincham is chosen as they seem the more likely champions

It is certainly something we can ask.

Depending on what happens it's much more likely that we will both be "featured" games and cameras will be at both with BT bouncing between the two. |

Then even more reason to facilitate access to ALL fans who have a vested interest in both matches on the last day . Not ideal for either club with the trophy being presented with not even a man and his dog present. |

Not strictly correct as whether the Trophy is won at Barnet or Altrincham, there will be fans present, but only home ones! And of course Norwich, Hull and Cheltenham have all lifted their respective league trophies in front of no one already. Whilst of course we'd love to be there for it, I think winning the trophy without us being present is more important that us being there. |

I'm thinking that BT may well concentrate on the race for the play offs as well.

Obviously this is down to BT, SUFCTV and the club, but in the past BT have allowed a dual stream of a match. James will know how it works but basically they can just give us a feed, and it can be sent out via the clubs paywall system.
Just a thought, but easily doable..
