West Ham’s pre-season friendly against Fulham is likely to be streamed Live on the Internet this afternoon despite no official announcements.
The Hammers have been cautious to guarantee or promise live streams since a disastrous experience against Wycombe Wanderers last July when the Youtube stream was almost unwatchable due to poor internet provision at the host’s stadium.
Since then the strategy has been to announce a live stream very late often just before kick-off when they are sure that the Internet provision is stable.
Hopefully, this game will be same as the Attach FC game in Austria with live coverage planned on Facebook and via the club website on WHUFC.com for the 3 pm kick-off at Craven Cottage.
However, there are no guarantees and Fulham hold the rights to this game with many tickets yet to be sold.
Over 3,500 West Ham fans visiting Fulham this afternoon are likely to be treated to the debuts of record signing Sebastien Haller and midfielder Pablo Fornals, who both linked up with the Irons at Rush Green for the first time this week.
Sean if it does go ahead will it be streamed to the UK only? The Altach stream was limited so that international fans in different regions couldn’t get access. Sorry to bother but any further info would be great.
I don’t know, it usually depends on whether the TV rights have been sold to other broadcasters
No worries thanks for replying:)
Its not on TV anywhere, so would be very odd if somebody had paid for rights to broadcast it, and then not using them.
I believe if this was the case you could download a VPN and that would hide where you are in the world meaning you would be able to watch it.
Many Thanks for this Post spent 2 days Hunting a live Feed No Joy. You given me hope so
Will you be embedding the stream on your site Hugh and Sean? The Altach stream was excellent. I don’t use Facebook so it was really useful to be able to watch it here.
My latest info is a stream is looking unlikely
Crazy. Surely internet in London is adequate. They should stream at low quality. I’ll take anything.
