Smoggie webcast

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Did anyone else have an approx 15min delay on the webcast? I was flicking between the Manure v Everton & Arsenal v Chelsea matches (Both live on Sky in NZ) and the commentator on the Manure game announced Shearers 2nd goal 15minutes before the webcast did. Or maybe he just knew what would happen.

Yes Alan mine was the same, on the rare occasions when it was actually transmitting. I wrote to nufc.co.uk a couple of weeks ago when it was bad, but this time was even worse.

Did you get any response Barry? If so, from whom? Just curious, leyk.

Clarky, I got no response at all from nufc. In comparison, when Metro started webcasting their whole schedule (except matches) I contacted them and I got an instant reply from their editorial and technical people, explaining that they have to switch off the match commentaries for copyright reasons. Radio Newcastle are also very responsive, but nufc never reply.

I think that we should all know by now that they dont really give a toss because they dont rake in the money from the webcasts.

Mine was delayed at times but seemed to finish on time. I thought Al had 3 for a while.
