We are kind of double losers getting Stockport at home first game. This is the type of opening day fixture which would usually have supporters salivating but a significant number of our supporters are not going to able to see it and this would probably have attracted our second biggest away attendance of the season. With the announcement of streaming for the first PSF game and likely further limitations in capacity, I think it is very likely now that the games will be streamed, wonder how many between the two clubs will pay for this game after 7 months of no football at possibly £8 to £10 per head? If it appears the friendly streams go ok I would definitely pay for this match if it wasn't for the fact I am working that day.

Yes - would have made a cracking first day opener in normal times. Stockport would have filled the away end for a Saturday in August. Proper football fans at Stockport. Still averaged 3,000 when mid-table in Conference North. I think they traveled to Plainmoor twice in one season for last minute postponements and took it in good spirits.

Yes. Wonder if streaming income will be all to the home club or if both will be able to offer a stream to their own supporters. Would benefit us in the short term if we could get the Stockport fans' money, but would we be better off able to charge our fans for away streams rather than that money going to the home club? I would be more prepared to pay for away streams if the money went to our club.

I was thinking income would go to the home club as per on a normal match day as it is their infrastructure and certainly more accessible for our exiles and we are not geographically disadvantaged for away support to participate in. Having said that, should be straight forward to piggy back off the home feed with our own commentary which would be preferable to watch. This would suit better supported clubs more, probably including us.
