But what are full match highlights anyway - you either get highlights or the full match.


So are you saying this youtube site is run by the club just because somebody has used the word "Official"

it is run by the club, and what i mean by FUll match highlights is every highlight from the match...

yes, we have signed A contract with BBC to do are commentary for every match until 2015, im not sure which BBC radio but i think it may be BBC 5 Live.

BBC have always done commentary of all our matches. It's just that if you live outside the region you can only get them on Seagulls Player. Has this changed?

I wasnt aware, i was assuming that there was another radio station providing the commentary

I would have thought they provided commentary for everyone.

I know its not BBC Radio's call, but we all pay the same License fee. Looks like the clubs are prepared to sacrifice fans from outside their immediate area for a bit of extra cash!

Why on earth does BBC Sussex have commentary on Aldershot on iPlayer, when there are two Football League clubs in the county?

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Excellent, now I just need some help for an xpat shield does anyone know of a good one so I can pick up the commentary?

No idea if this will work for you, but it's perfect for other scenarios.

Theres a bit of a contradiction in your post. If you are a fan and want to listen then you pay for Seagulls Player you do not stop being a fan.

Did you really expect your licence fee to cover everything incuding Sky Sport?

 

[chimneys]

Sky Sports?! Absurd comparison!

I merely expect the license fee to cover what someone 10 miles from me in Sussex gets for the same fee as I pay, particularly when at all other times of the week I can listen to that station online!

I appreciate its not BBC's fault though as they are not the License holder, but does seem unjust on those of us who live outside Sussex being forced to pay to listen when already to get to matches it takes more time/money.

And what's loyalty got to do with it? Irrelevant but if you insist, mine stands up in longevity/matches attended home and away to more than most!

How many fans do you think have been sacrificed?

How many fans do you think have been sacrificed?

My last word on this is either everyone should pay the £53.88 per year (if on monthly DD), or no-one!

BBC Sussex, but only if you listen through a radio. If you listen online you'll get their coverage of Crawley/Aldershot

You won't get Crawley matches online, they are a FL Club now. The Football League has a license with the BBC which prohibits commentary for Football League games being broadcast online.

I know its not BBC Radio's call, but we all pay the same License fee. Looks like the clubs are prepared to sacrifice fans from outside their immediate area for a bit of extra cash!

Its a Football League license, that the BBC pay for, the BBC has no say over what FL commentary is broadcast where, it is all down to the Football League.

Sky Sports?! Absurd comparison!

Again, this has nothing to do with the BBC, it is the Football League with whom you should have the beef.

Charles Runcie, Head of Sport for BBC English Regions, explains. "The reason we cannot put our local radio football commentaries on BBC sites is that the copyright for them is owned by the sports rights holder, the Football League. They effectively 'license' us to do radio commentaries, for which we pay annual fees direct to the clubs. The clubs themselves own the rights to put their audio commentaries of their matches on the internet, not the BBC."
