TRVMP Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 I should add that Edinburgh have announced a vendor, but not put their site online yet. They're borderline between Planned and Yes, then.
Deego Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Are other teams' streams going through a third-party server or directly from the clubs'? Hopefully server issues won't be a problem if it's hosted elsewhere - are the subscriptions also handled at the provider's end? If it's all all third-party I'm quietly confident it'll go okay... unless they think embedding on gmfc.net is a good idea (it's not, for us). Would be nice to be able to sign up - I'd have signed up for it weeks ago. I'm looking forward to it. Oh, and how do InterStadia season tickets work with the service?
TRVMP Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Several are on the same hosted solution on a totally different domain. Others are on club-hosted pages but you'd have to assume the player is iframed in. I didn't check that and I'm on my phone now. I believe Dunfermline and St. Mirren both use Interstadia for STs but I didn't see how their logins worked. I did happen to notice that one club (I *think* Falkirk, but I could be wrong) said that they'd created streaming accounts for all their ST holders and emailed them the details. That implies that they're separate from their ST system. I'd be surprised if any lower league club was joined-up enough to have a unified login for match attendance and streaming. (That's not a criticism because I don't think anyone saw this coming.)

I just wonder if they've decided on their solution. Is the game on Tuesday on the season ticket? I haven't bought one so no idea, just curious.

Nah, league cup isn't on the season ticket, so it will be subscription only. So we're talking several hundred signing up in the space of a couple of days, dealing with sign in issues, any gremlins in the system, etc etc. You'll know better than most that that is a very risk move.
TRVMP Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 This is 100% a guess but I'm going to assume that we're going to use the same third-party provider as some of the other clubs, and they will handle the billing and login. From what I've seen, it's fairly robust, but it does require some setup for the buyer (Morton, in this case) so that the various sign-up options make sense. I'm not at all confident that they'll do this properly, but if we go with one of these known quantities then hopefully it won't be too much of a shambles. Then again that's doubtless what they thought about Interstadia. I still can't quite believe that they're our current vendor.
The Bewilderedbeast Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I'm not someone who normally criticises the club too much as I always feel that , even out with Covid19, it can't be an easy job. However, given that it's almost four o'clock on the Friday before our first game of the season where the game is to be streamed on a system that is new to most, if not, all users, there is still no information on the club website on how to access the stream, how to pay for the stream, or when this info will be available. Given the amount of criticism on these pages recently surely someone should be looking at the info to be posted on the website and making sure that 1) It's accurate, and 2) Fit for publication.

Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

9 Strathblane Crescent Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Training kit looks great, only Morton would have some sort of commercial deal with the strip supplier that doesn't allow them to sell any other kit. Wonder what brain box though that one up? 2 The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Shouldn’t be that hard to get some good trackies made with the colours blue, white and yellow, just knock off a few old Boca designs. AWMSC

I think the problem is that McTears never supplied the kit from the right manufacturer, however well intentioned it was. An unfortunate oversight no doubt. Assuming it was gifted by McTears rather than ordered by the club, that is. Presumably that's why the est1874 gear now has almost identical training tops for sale, but not quite as good so won't sell as well.
