Howdy all
Hopefully I can shed a bit of light on this...

As recently as last week I had a conversation with Rob Heys about this very subject.

Let me try and give you some facts:

- Accrington Stanley FC have the sole rights to broadcast internet commentary on Accrington Stanley. Technically (and in the eyes of the law) anyone else broadcasting commentary on the net is breaching their licence (I know, we used to forget quite a lot ;-))

- All Premium TV websites give clubs the opportunity to stream commentary on their sights. At the moment the Stanley website isn't capable of this (so I'm told) but COULD be.

- As mentioned above, the problem is cost. The kind of broadcast equipment needed to make something sound vaguely professional (and it must sound like that if people are going to pay for it) costs several thousand pounds which means that a lot of the cost is up front.

However, it's not all bad news. As I say, I recently had a chat to Rob about this and there are a few possible avenues to explore. Just don't expect anything immediately!

I'm hoping to speak to the club again soon and I'll let you all know.
