We were already complaining this morning about Chelsea charging money to watch this game, when it’s literally the least important of the season, but they’ve outdone themsevles now.
Fans who actually paid to watch this match against Bohemians are finding that their live streams, run through the club’s precious 5th stand app, aren’t working.
Honestly, if you’re going to milk people for money, at least give them what they overpaid for.
So far they’ve missed one first half Michy goal, and… not a huge amount more. It’s the first preseason friendly, what were you expecting?!
They certainly can’t expect fans to continue paying for these matches through preseason unless they sort things out, pronto.
You can see some of the reaction here:
We are receiving intermittent problems with our live stream which may be affecting some users.

Finally loaded in time to see Gallagher forcing a turn over in midfield.

Hearing many fans are experiencing issues with the official match stream. #Chelsea need to sort this out ASAP if they’re going to charge for pre-season matches. Has happened before.
