No problem here in the USofA with the stream, check your internet rather than blame the club who don't actually have anything to do with running it.

It is possible to purchase a stream in the UK if you are using a vpn , the vpn makes it appear you are abroad

Think hes posted similar types of threads previously... just dont understand his motivation to post about an illegal use of city tv then complain because club doesn't respond to his allegedly sent email...

Surprised he didn’t blame Tan directly.

You say you are/were in hospital - were you using the hospital wifi??
Hospital wifi is notoriously crud, provided usually by an outside service who charge shedloads for a severely mediocre service. That service will hugely degrade when you put a VPN over the top to boot, simply due to the system overheads involved in VPNing to anything such as a live footie stream.
If you were trying via your own phone internet, then perhaps they throttle the heck out of VPN'd connections.
Dont forget any VPN, involves data up to VPN, data from VPN to footie stream, footie stream back to VPN, VPN to your device via whatever links are needed inbetween.
To be honest, I've watched the city all over the place in the back of the van via my phone or random wifi feeds I find - some are good, others stutter like nothing on earth, some have stutters on stutters. Its just part and parcel of how it is if you're watching the city on anything other than a genuine matchday Sky broadcast or stream. Even they can hiccup every now and then.
It is the nature of the streaming/connected world we live in - everyone wants a piece of that cable or airwave that the stuff is coming across... and its usually the bloke who's paying the most that gets the bestest connection.

Maccy Dee, why find very poor supporter relations funny? Are you still on a pay roll?
My Email was along the lines of ...Paid for a stream, it cut out after 5 minutes i'd like a refund and this sort of shambles clearly isn't just restricted to on field affairs"

I did use a VPN because i can't attend games due to being in hospital. And yes i do think this is symptomatic of the club in a rudderless mess on and off the pitch. And yes i do blame Tan ultimately, he's a dictator, so the buck stops with the dictator.

Let's get this right.... you illegally tried to get a stream for city game because the stream didn't work you want the club to reimburse you? I suggest you contact club tell them you were using a vpn to watch game and see what they say? As for knowing your using VPN presume you put in your personal details like home adress did you use a .co.uk email address if so that could tell them you live in uk on it's own... like said got to be careful how you get city tv with vpn there is such thing as AI that can detect where you are.... as for me being senile well obviously your not thinking straight to blame club for a service that they provide but you had no right to use ....... finally looking for upgrade ST mmmm I have halfway line (above dugouts) front row level 4 aisle seats... probably the best in stadium![]()

Ps why shouldn't I defend club against someone who is trying to defame it like you are ?

Cheers for the sensible reply mate. I am using the hospital wifi but it's always quite fast with zero problems. What pissed me off and pointed to the problem being theirs on not mine, was the fact that it worked perfectly for 5 minutes then cut out.

That would usually indicate that your VPN is shit and the site identified ur IP address as a UK one. Did you try switching up VPNs, clearing cache etc or did you immediately blame Tan?
As others have said you are complaining about the fact that you tried to access a stream illegally (and by the sounds of it not done that very well) so not sure what sympathy you're hoping for here mate hahah.

We also know the stream was fine because you were the only known issue.
Then you blame the club that has nothing to do with the actual stream rather than the streaming company, both of whom probably wouldn't answer you anyway as you were breaking their terms & conditions and then complaining about it.
You need to write an email to yourself asking why you would think it was okay to do the work around in the first place & why you think the rules don't apply to you.
