It’s down to the FACup rights, not even international supporters get to watch, audio only for everyone.

Sportsnet world (Canada) have Bristol Rovers v WSM on but looks like it’s showing all goals as they go in.

FA Cup rights to ensure nobody can see FA Cup other than in stadium .Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face ( financially stupid )

I couldn’t get on to Rovers+ and I couldn’t stream Radio Sheffield due to contractual reasons. It was just Lucky Pint and final score for me.

I don't know what happened to you Idler, but I listened to the whole game for free on Radio Sheffield.

The Rovers+ commentary (by Robbie Andrews, not Tom Biltcliffe), was linked to Radio Sheffield’s half time and full time coverage of the local games. Radio Sheffield match-day broadcasting does not extend past the local area normally, so I imagine it doesn’t stretch as far as Bradford. We certainly can’t get it online in the south for licensing reasons.

Depends on what part of the country you live. I can't get it in Notts and I believe Idler is in Bradford?

You can listen anywhere across the country through BBC Sport online.

This is presumably just for the FA Cup - I imagine that EFL broadcasting rights are protected - otherwise we wouldn’t need Rovers+ and iFollow before that.

It is just for the FACup mate.
I tuned in to our game on there yesterday then to the remainder of Gainsboroughs match.
