Jarvy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Exiled to Lincoln at the moment so obviously can't listen on the radio - was going to get the train to the match but plans fell through. Any way to get the radio commentary? Rebroadcasts, internet streams, etc? Alternatively any dubious cams or anything like that... UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdiwonderland Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You can stream Radio Sheffield but won't get the commentary, it's locked for contractual reasons. The reason being you have to buy Wednesday Player, which doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvy Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Doesn't work? How so? I was considering buying Wednesday Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdiwonderland Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don't have it, but it always seems to be the butt of jokes, loses services, keeps cutting out, delayed etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havin-a-hoot Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I can't speak for everyone but Wednesday play works quite well for me... but I go to all home games so I don't know if it is only bad on the home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblebox Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Radio Sheffield do have it on tonight. Just go onto their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0191Owl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Being in Newcastle, my only way to listen to BBC Radio Sheffield is through Wednesday Player. It is known for being notoriously unreliable and delayed but if you don't live in Sheffield, it's your only real option. I'd get it to be honest. It's better than nothing!

abdiwonderland Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Jarvy - Seems it may have improved. Give it a whirl mate if it will help. People like to rip sh it to death on here, seems i fell for it. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Last 2 games have been ok on WP...touch wood that continues. Give it a whirl, it's only £5 odd for this month, so you've not lost out a lot if it goes to poo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelknievel Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Wednesday player does work 90% of the time, just drops out and then struggles to come back for 2 or 3 mins. It's often 2-3 mins behind as well. You can imagine how annoying that can be and in this day and age a bit rubbish. But if you're like me and unable to get to midweek matches it's better than nothing. Only just! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it's dependant on browser/connection, so it's a lottery if you get a good experience or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairOwl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Can't you get it on one of them DAB radios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvy Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 I've got excellent internet here so that's not a problem! I realise it's a lot to ask, but perhaps someone trusting could allow me to log into their Player account to share it tonight. That way i could try it out tonight without wasting a fiver if it's poo . I'm only a student so hesitant to spend 6 quid! Thanks for all the replies.
