Whinge, whinge, whinge....

Like I posted on another thread where another poster was whinging about it, at least it's being televised, unlike the all Premier League tie
Bournemouth v Wolves.

Plus the fact, outside roughly 200k people, nobody in the UK wants to watch PNE v Burnley

It's a fair point!

Good to know it's on Sky 970. I don't have a smart tv so would have been watching on my phone otherwise.

BBC Red Button is also available on Freeview channel 601. That's almost a real channel!!!

Free view 601, Virgin 991.

Me and the missus will be watching in the corner house sports bar corralejo hope there will be a few more clarets the town seems to be awash with sheffield utd fans

If you've got sky, do you not have the BBC iPlayer app with sky?

The app on sky is remarkably inconsistent - that is just BBC and ITV apps, all the rest (Netflix etc ) stream fine.

Iplayer always streams ok on my mobile though.

Not if you are on Sky Stream it isn't as that channel does not exist.

I’ve never had any issues with streaming iPlayer or ITVX from the Sky apps

Gonna be watching this on my phone whilst wandering round Haworth with the family.
