Does anyone know what the clubs stance is on showing midweek away games at the Amex? I thought they were going to show all the games, the Leeds game seemed to be a success, but I can't see anything mentioned anywhere.

No other Albion games were announced, but I'm not aware of there being any licensing issue that would prevent the Ipswich game being beamed back.

Wasn't it a Football League trial rather than an Albion one? I'd imagine that there will be more in the future but not in time for this week.

I don't believe it's a trial, I believe it's "live" now, with it being down to the clubs involved...

“It will be up to the clubs involved in each match to determine whether it can be broadcast in this way and I would largely expect to see them entering into such arrangements in instances where they are playing a significant distance away from home during midweek or at matches where the away allocation is likely to sell out.”

With no announcement about Ipswich yet though, I'd imagine it's already too late to generate the ticket sales required.

I think it was to do with the installation of new networking hardware that allows it to be done on a closed circuit, to be introduced at all (championship?) clubs, ours was one of the first to be installed I think is what I heard.
