Stockport v Mansfield not available on Sky Sports+

[andybjohnson]

The Stockport game is listed as available on Sky Sports+ but it isn't showing on the app or via the Red button 

[Jason- · Accepted solution]

Hello @andybjohnson, thanks for your post about last night's Stockport County v Mansfield Town which you were wanting to watch on Sky Sports+. Unfortunately Stockport County (as the home team) didn't grant us the rights to show this game so we were unable to make this available on Sky Sports+. 

Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this. 

Thanks, Jason-

I was disappointed to see this game was not on Sky Sports, having spent £35 with Now TV to watch it!

Was the non-granting of rights a last minute decision? By whom and why?  How much in advance did you know the game would not be screened?

Probably best to contact Viewer Relations:  viewerR@sky.uk

...but NowTV is a separate (Sky-owned) entity.

It's certainly an odd scenario. You would have thought that the deal between Sky and the EFL wouldn't allow individual clubs to stop a game being broadcast.

Out of interest, @andybjohnson @Masroor1 @@ , was this game always scheduled to be played this midweek or was it originally a weekend fixture that got postponed?

https://www.skysports.com/watch/football-on-sky seems to not be 100% reliable

It is listing both Brighton and West Brom games as being on Sky Sports Footbsll at the same time.

That's been updated since by the looks.
