The Mariners Trust posted this earlier with some explanation of the effort gone into organising the beaming back:

"If you are not lucky enough to be going to Lincoln tomorrow you can still watch the match live in McMenemy's. Cost is £10 and doors open at 11.30am.
We have been involved in making this happen and we have seen first hand the lengths the club have had to go to so that the match can be shown. First of all permission was needed from the EFL and although they wouldn't allow transmission of Ifollow they did agree to beam back via ADI TV. This comes at a cost which totals slightly under £1500 hence the need to charge £10. In the unlikely event that the club make any money on this then it will be given to the YDA. The club have to treat this as an official EFL event and therefore complete a match return and pay the EFL a small % of the proceeds. It is also worth pointing out that the taxman takes 20% of the entrance fee in VAT
To set the beam back up the club have had to have an engineer from ADI TV in to set up the link and then the club staff and volunteers have had to put in various cabling and boxes to get the link to the screens. That has taken considerable time and effort.
We are aware that that some establishments show the games using Ifollow or IPTV. All we can say is that they are doing so illegally and in some cases have been officially warned and are been closely monitored. If some choose to support these there is nothing we can do about it but we hope most will recognise and support the efforts of ourselves and the club. Tickets are available from the club office and online here: https://www.mcmenemys.co.uk/…/lincoln-city-beam-back-12th-j….

Here's hoping for a good result. UTM."

No its not, the EFL wouldn't let that be used hence needing a technician and other kit to sort it.


"We have been involved in making this happen and we have seen first hand the lengths the club have had to go to so that the match can be shown. First of all permission was needed from the EFL and although they wouldn't allow transmission of Ifollow they did agree to beam back via ADI TV."

The ADI TV network is where the games are filmed by a single camera and sent back by a dedicated feed. This is the feed that is used for all Ifollow games, so like I said the game being shown is being sent back to the ADI point within Blundell Park and then the club will have somehow got the feed from there to McMenemys, it is not being sent via satellite.

Decided to watch it at BP last minute, there's a fair few in here.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Good to see, hope the club made a tiny profit from it and didn't lose out.

Hope So too. Any profit is being donated to the YDA. 👌
