You're comparing physical entry to a ground to watching a (most likely) one-camera video stream of an empty ground?

Sadly we can’t even do radio tonight, gutted, hopefully we get more luck with Wealdstone and Bromley!

There's some cost to doing the stream. I don't know what it is but filming and hosting isn't free. I don't have the expertise to say what a break even price is - if anyone does I'll be keen to learn. Maybe everyone else will be put off and it will just be me on the stream.
As the return of fans is uncertain I can't blame them for trying to generate some sort of income from the game given contracted players will presumably be paid?
For the same cost as entry to the ground I can still see the game (probably less as I don't need to get in my very thirsty car!), so I personally can live with the fiver.

I don't blame them either, but pricing a friendly non league game at league prices is unlikely to win them many favours or - indeed - much return.
Unless they've hired in a crack, multi-camera hi-def broadcast team, streaming a game can cost - literally - pennies. I'm rubbish at video, but I'd be happy to have a go at streaming a Hamlet*/Peckham game and all I'd need would be a wi-fi signal.
(*but there would be no point because DHFC TV do an absolutely brilliant job)
Anyway we don't have to agree on this, but I'm not paying a fiver to watch a non league friendly on the internet, thanks.

Still ideally need to pay 1 or 2 people to set this up.

Sutton are letting their season ticket holders watch for free. Bastards. I hope we stuff them and make Tim Vine cry.

Maybe remembering wrongly but think it might have been £12 to get in to last season's friendly. So it's a lot cheaper than that. Not really sure it's comparable to VCD.

£15 to watch Sutton. However the season tickets are very well priced.

Anyone got a teamsheet?

I withdraw my defence of Sutton earlier. This is fantastically rubbish.

If the rest of the Twitter updates are like that, they could have charged for them.

We've looked quite positive so far. Commentator is almost as bad as BBC Scotland, but still, at least it's not Robbie Savage

Everyone loves a Trailist. Wonder where he's going?

If you have your headphones on you can hear the live feed commentator and the radio commentator at the same time. Bet you feel daft for not spending a fiver now.
It's going to be difficult not to hug Tom and Jamal next time I see them.

Bit unlucky to lose. Not sure we learnt much from that game other than we're pretty solid but chances and goals might be at a premium. A number of players yet to be announced named on Twitter line up so assume they'll be some news on them soon.
