I presume that this will be applicable to all the games there if the WSL doesn't have it's own TV deal.

I'm happy about this and was crying out for it for a while as other teams often stream theirs live. I seem to recall that we've streamed a few EDS games in the past also using the live.mcfc.co.uk address, early on when the website had just launched.

Can't believe that they are going to lose any matchday revenue from it and it could even help with commercial deals potentially. Not sure what the cost of doing this would be for City but can't imagine it's massively expensive if it's from a permanent location like the Minihad.

I just wish they'd actually keep us in the picture properly about fixture dates

If we had enough advance notice of games fans would go and see them
It seems like they keep them shrouded in secrecy and post a tweet a few hours before kick off

They are on the website but they are often moved.

City's U-18 trip to Wolves got postponed today

But it isn't straight forward

It's a bit like our new forums *smiley*
There's such a plethora of choice on the drop down menu it's impossible to know which one to click on
It'd be much easier if they did it in a calendar style as well so you could see the games on at any particular day and then you could easily see who's playing and where and in which comp

I'd love to go and see other teams but I never seem to find out till the day of the game and then it's too late as I live outside of Manchester

Free or not ? If not free for stream, I want to pay for it.

No idea, the followup says that there are cost factors involved but the times they have streamed it, it has been free

Would have to be free, even if they try and charge for it you would be able to find free streams over the web.

Not being able from distance to go to the matches I really think this is a great idea to stream youth matches... Been longing for it since they showed a couple in the past... great idea

Would be interesting to see the viewing figures from the recent U-16 tournament in Qatar.

That'd be awesome. I live in VA, USA and I'd watch about all I had time to.
