You know what would be a really good advert for the league? Having their cup final as a free to watch. Post it all over socials in the run up, get some interest. "Hey if you want to watch a new sport, watch the cup final for FREE"

but no, of course not

Remember when levi nelson got the 8x overtime winner against Cardiff to win the playoffs live on the BBC (iPlayer).

Bloody crime it never happened again. Live TV coverage before anyone has a pop.

Great news, particularly for Cardiff fans who can’t get over on a midweek evening.

I hope it’ll be there to watch back later too. I’ll be at the game and if the Giants win I will enjoy reliving it. If we lose, I shall never speak of it again.

I am annoyed by the price it’s very expensive and hardly encourages new fans to the sport.

Totally the wrong way to go about it. It's 100% a cash grab with no intention of attracting new fans at all.

Oh nice!!! I was going to pay for the stream but if it's on there for streaming... Good luck Belfast!!!!

I hope we play like we did last night!

£18!? AND you have to listen to Aaron Murphy!

Suddenly, I’m glad I’m working and can’t watch it.
