Basford United v Scarborough Athletic to be streamed on pay-per-view

On form Basford can make it five league wins in a row with a victory over Scarborough, in a game to be screened on PPV.

This will be a first for the club and a decision was reached given the distance the Seadog fans would have to travel from North Yorkshire for a Tuesday night game, in addition to the change in Coronavirus tier status in and around the Nottinghamshire region.

United are partnering with FilmMyMatch, who are the league’s official streaming partner, to bring fans and viewers alike the full 90 minutes, including live commentary.

The cost for the online stream has been set at £6.95 (inc. VAT), and whilst the Club understands this does NOT beat the real-life match experience, they believe it offers an affordable price for fans of both clubs, who can’t be in attendance at Greenwich Avenue, the opportunity to see their respective teams in action.

Speaking in a statement published by the Northern Premier League, director of FilmMyMatch, David Roe, said@ "We're delighted to have been selected as the NPL's filming and live streaming partner for the 2020/21 season.

“The core aim of FilmMyMatch is to deliver professional filming and broadcast services at all levels of the game and we're excited to be able to provide NPL fans with access to high quality live footage throughout the season."
