I saw an announcement this morning that one game a week with be shown free to air on Blaze TV, which seems to be channel 156 on Sky and 64 on Freeview.

First game is scheduled to be Pirates vs Doncaster on Sunday Sept 20th, and all the other games to be shown are on Sundays.

Good spot Fatbear. More here:

No Blues games in the first set of free to air fixtures - what have we done wrong
Nor Coventry.
Hartpury are in three fixtures.
Anyway that being said I think it is an excellent development.

What does mean for Clubber TV?

Indeed. Only two of the top-four sides of last season (once each).
Hmmm.

According to the Bedford announcement on this, the games will also be on Clubber (presumably free?).

Apparently Cov vs Chinnor on December 13th.

I hope they're free.
Certainly not paying for it

I have a subscription (June to June) for Clubber TV and there’s full coverage of the match played last weekend between Camborne and Cornish Pirates.

No commentary but you can hear the crowd etc. I had difficulty finding the score because I couldn’t hear the PA very clearly so I had to dig a bit to see the score, which I’ll not tell you in case you want to watch it (£4.99 one off)

I think the annual subscription of £149.99 is good value because you can see every Champ game whenever you want to watch it.

It’s a bonus to have free to air games too so it’s good to see. So if you want to catch the odd free game you can go to blaze(s)

Or you can watch free highlights on the Pirates home page.
Apparently over 2,300 people turned out to watch.
Which is amazing.
