The “atmosphere”? Or chance to post photos and videos on social media…

Yeah, I don’t get it.

What is the crack with streaming it overseas?

I’m giving myself away here but I’m deployed overseas with his majesty’s armed forces on operations so won’t be there; but would be great to stream it

DAZN works perfectly well abroad, streamed a couple of games whilst in Gran Canaria this year with no issues.

There’s still no news on whether DAZN are going to stream it. I use them regularly for watching league games, but they haven’t been streaming any trophy games so I suspect they won’t stream the final. However, the Woking semi was streamed
by someone called 24.7 Live, who do the filming for DAZN. This was announced on the club website a few days before the game, with a link to a webpage they’d created for it (I don’t think they have an app). So I’d suggest keeping an eye on the shots’ official site to see if anything is announced (it might depend on them selling x number of tickets).

According to the Wikipedia page (which can be edited by anyone) the game will be broadcast live on TNT Sports. However having checked the EPG that doesn't appear to be the case. When the FA Trophy Final is taking place TNT Sports is showing the following...

TNT Sport 1 - Live Premier League Football
TNT Sport 2 - Live MLB Baseball (Chicago Cubs @ New York Mets)
TNT Sport 3 - NBA Basketball
TNT Sport 4 - An assortment of crap including Grand Slam Track & Live NWSL.

Most of these are absolute crap at its finest

Problem is, apart from maybe 4 as I have no idea what that is, the audiences for the other 3 will blow the potential audience for the FAT out of the water. The vast majority of people who have any interest in it will be at the stadium.

Anyone got their tickets by email today? I heard some have?
Only asking as I havent
