No Europa stream but CandH on case!
The game will not be screened on the official website while tickets remain available for the Europa League game.
Although tickets for tomorrow’s game against Romanian team Astra FC are selling well, it is unlikely to completely sell-out so like the game against Birkirkara at the Boleyn Ground two weeks ago. So no TV or streaming coverage will be provided.
A senior source told Claret and Hugh that it would have been possible to sell the TV rights in the region of £35,000 as Birkirkara arranged with Premier Sports last Thursday.
However, the club made a business decision that it could damage ticket sales although they declared: “These are marginal decisions.”
Our source added: ‘Most people were surprised that the Andorra match sold out, so we decided to offer it to armchair supporters free. Some 26,000 watched the game on the internet.
“Malta wasn’t sold out, hence we didn’t offer it free. These are all marginal decisions, had we known Andorra would have sold out we’d have sold it to TV.’
However, ClaretandHugh will be carrying the planned BBC London commentary on BBC London 94.9 FM along with our popular match text highlights.
