Are we going to be streaming our home games this season?

If not why not?

Last week showed it isn't difficult.

[MagpieBat]

Because we're penny-pinching scrooges.

Well, this is slightly embarrassing...

As much as we'd all like to put the world on hold for the weekends, I'm afraid that particular power is not within my arsenal. Alas, I won't be able to keep score today, so I was thinking I might toss the keys to the scoreboard to those of you in here again. You'll find the links to several sources from which to receive official scores in the OP.

Your assistance will be much appreciated...

Will fwd any comments from cfcTwitter when I can.

Waiting for fridge serviceman to roll up. Score updating here is the perfect thing to pass idle time on a shocker Sat-dee like today.

If I go MIA, blame the serviceman.
