EFL clubs hit with major broadcasting issue leaving fans fuming as several sides forced to release statements
EFL clubs have been forced to release statements after a major broadcasting issue with streams.
A statement from a number of clubs revealed the third-party supplier of the streams, StreamAMG, reported internal issues with all of their broadcasts across the EFL.
Only overseas fans were affected as there is no broadcasting option for UK-based supporters to watch 3pm matches.
The EFL's iFollow streaming service was unaffected yesterday.
Watford, Bristol City, Southampton and Blackpool were among the clubs to release statements addressing the problem.
The issue left fans fuming online.
