I'm going to find it very very difficult to stay away from knowing the result beforehand.

I cannot get the schedule to come up on my computer. I go to the website here: http://elevensportsusa.com/whats-on/ and it shows the days and time but no programming. do you have the same problem? I'm on Firefox and maybe it is a Flash issue though I always get a pop up when that happens.Amol schreef:Elevensports is actually showing the Ajax game - however they're showing it on Monday at 8pm EST![]()

I'm unable to view the schedule on the US website as well using Chrome. I don't think they're quite ready with the US version yet.Orange14 schreef:I cannot get the schedule to come up on my computer.

Anyway, it's just stupid that this is delayed but maybe they don't have to pay as much.
I remember someone here using Bet365. Some US states (NJ has, NY hasn't) have now legalized Sports Betting and Bet365 is going to open an American website soon. This very well may be the way out for me starting next year.SPL schreef:elevensports showing our game 1.00am Sunday. I do note that Bet365 show games and you only have to register with a small fee and not actually bet. Any one ever tried this site in UK.,
I just realized that myself and have signed up for a 7 day free trial. Watching it live now!!Orange14 schreef:Just saw that ESPN+ has Eredivisie game. Ajax match is on tomorrow!!!
I don't think Ajax have any control over this. The Eredivisie negotiates the contracts on behalf of all the teams in the league. If the rights are sold to a carrier in another country, it is that carrier who makes the decision on which games to broadcast or not. If they don't want to show an Ajax/Feyenoord/PSV game, Ajax cannot unilaterally broadcast over the Internet matches as they would be in violation of the league contract. I know this is not what most of us want but it is the situation. The only way to go around this is for Ajax to negotiate their own contract (I believe that Benfica do this in Portugal).WP_Legend schreef:Agreed I would pay for this. Ajax is missing out by not streaming their own games in Countries where it is not broadcasted.
Simple, they have sold the rights already. It's up to the contractual owner to decide what to do; they can decide to broadcast or not and there is nothing the Eredisie can do. We had a streaming service here in the US about three years ago that carried all the Dutch league matches as well as matches from 8-10 other countries. They were forced to shut down because they didn't have contractual rights to broadcast. I know SPL is angry about this but there's not much recourse other than the Eredivise to start their own streaming service. That might not bring in as much money as the current arrangement.WP_Legend schreef:Why doesn't the eredivisie offer streaming services outside of NL?
If you are talking about all the countries in the world that might be correct, but if one looks at the biggest media markets it may not be true. The other thing to consider is whether Ajax cedes Internet broadcasting as part of their agreement to allow the Eredivisie to negotiate television contracts. In the US, ESPN has broadcasting rights and Ajax could not offer a separate steaming service.WP_Legend schreef:But have they though? In Oz there has never been any station with the rights and I assume this goes for 95% of countries.
