Evening all.
For those not on social media there's been some interesting developments for the Boreham Wood Game. In essence, they charge anyone that wants to stream or commentate at their home games meaning that both Stones Live and Stones TV have had to ask for the good will of supporters to foot the bill. The good news is that the amounts needed have been raised so well done all who donated/sponsored.
This leaves a sore spot though, in that there argument is clubs charge for streaming services and so why shouldn't they get a slice. They had a ding dong with Chester's streaming service and released the details below (so this isn't a joke)

It has been highlighted that we do not charge for ours and that both are run by volunteers, but neither made a difference and its cost £130 in total to allow each to cover the game. The quote 'we understand the value of a pound note' leaves a sour taste for many and so I've decided to stick my head above the parrapet, nick somone else's suggestion and propose that our supporters hit them straight in their pound note.
I'm not suggesting people don't show up, it's our club that would miss out if we did that. Instead please fill up with beer, food, tea and bovril etc before you enter the ground and boycott the refreshments on the day. We should get a decent number coming and so the hit taken on food and beverages, both of which will have a good financial return, should send a message from us and most of the rest of non league football (well Chester).
This is a bit keyboard warrior but I genuinely feel a stand should be taken and one game without a half time beer is clinically proven to prevent a number of infectious diseases*.
I'll get back off my box now and go back to bed.
