    Couldn't agree more. Because of my work and home situation, I'll get to very few away games this season. But would more than happily pay 1follow or whoever to watch games live, if City was getting some financial benefit from it. Can't understand why it's not happening.

    It’s actually a UEFA ruling article 48 which gives any association the right to block TV matches between 2.45 and 5.15 on a Saturday. However as you say the German, French and Italians don’t bother. Apparently its only the English, Scottish and Montenegro FAs that enforce it. Eventually this archaic ruling will be overturned by the clubs when they realise how much revenue they are missing out on.

    So would I, these hyped up so called big games are nearly always a bore fest and even if it’s Man Utd v Real Madrid on a Tuesday night I’d still rather watch us play Newport in a league 2 game.

    Proper football, not a marketing opportunity.

    What is this 'relly' that you speak of, sir? Is it one of those new fangled things similar in everything but spelling?

    EFL decision. I’m not sure Tuesday nights is a goer either. I looked at one Tues game last week and it said not available for livestream. If they are it’s a bonus though.

    Scottish matches are available this season and I'm not sure Montenegro still enforce Article 48.

    So on Saturday's I can stay at home and watch my Scottish team lose (they are very good at losing), but I'm not allowed to watch City win.

    English football (at the FA/PL/EFL level) is completely out of touch with the fans.

    And thus, the EFL continue to be bloody clueless.

    Can't wait to watch Grbalj Radanoviki v Zeta for free! Given that I can't watch my own club.

    was never convinced how true that and similar stories were as various articles had same details but that it was different forces

    Is it only there on the insistence of the home nations though.

    FAs decision rather than EFL.
