The app asked you to sync with BT from your TV but despite doing that several times during the game, it always seemed to be 30secs behind me, and as I was watching on the BT app on PS4, I was approx 45 secs behind BT live if you were watching via Sky so I was getting twitter alerts and WhatsApp alerts from my mates about goals, then 30secs later seeing the goal, then 30secs later hearing Clive & JD talk about the goal.
I thought it was going to be a replacement commentary but it wasn't. It was more like a 2 hour interview with JD by Clive, with occasional references to the game when there was a chance or incident.
I turned down the TV to just a minimum and listened to them. They were in their own houses and it was like a Zoom/Teams call, with messages scrolling below posted from fans. Every so often someone (Nick from RTV or Greg SLO?) would ask them a question that had been posted in the chat.
Once I got used to the format, I quite liked it but that's mainly cos JD speaks so well about the club and was offering wee nuggets of info of what certain players were like in training or what his thoughts were when we first approached him, or scoring certain goals.
I might do it again but it would need to be either with them again or another player who is as articulate and engaging as JD.
At the start there were nearly 1,000 people on so a decent earner for the club. As this was the first event like this, they can learn what works and what doesn't to improve for future watch parties.
I paid £6 and got the digital programme and 2 MyGers points too. I think it was £4 without the programme and you only got 1 MyGers point.
