However, West Ham’s game will not be shown. The club claim it is not over fears that spectators could opt to stay at home to watch the match, as previously briefed.

They say they did not receive an offer that was “commercially viable”.


Bang on the money. Greedy Cunts.

I would have thought that as BT has rights to the EL, it should be able to screen the match.

Didn't see the game, but from the pictures it looks like a vast bowl. Fans too far from the pitch.

They do for the full competitions. Tournament qualifiers are owned by the home clubs. Commercially it would make sense for ours to be on BT. The way they treat us though we should ask if Sky or ITV fancy it instead.

Thanks for that.

I wasn't aware of this.

On the tv front talk talk are saying West Ham wouldn't allow the cameras in.

West Ham have also dropped the United from their badge and replaced it with London. What the fuck?? A fan now saying United hasn't been dropped just London added after West Ham United.

Watched it on a Russian stream, so there were cameras in. The white seats make it look like there was a fire alarm test from 85 minutes

Strange that their first ever game at their new stadium wasn't on TV.

Must be an agenda.

Official reason "Not commercially viable"

Unofficial reason - Porn Barons wanted too much cash for British TV coverage.
