Derby County is pleased to confirm arrangements for the beamback of their top-of-the-table Sky Bet Championship encounter with AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday 10th February 2015 (7:45pm).
Supporters of a selected number of clubs, including Derby, have been given the opportunity to watch coverage of their club playing away from home during midweek as part of a new broadcasting initiative by The Football League.
Following the installation of a fibre-optic network that will eventually link all club stadiums, matches can now be beamed back to grounds, live in HD, at a fraction of the previous cost. As a result, clubs may now enter into agreements that will enable the away club to broadcast the match for the benefit of its own fans. Currently, this opportunity is open to clubs in the Championship with League 1 clubs being connected to the fibre-optic network during the course of the current season and League 2 clubs during 2015/16.
Football League clubs are being connected to ADI’s Live Venue fibre network and through its SportsHub operations centre, live match feeds are distributed to global broadcasters, football clubs, and other stakeholders.
Derby will be showing live coverage of game with the Cherries at the iPro Stadium in both the Pedigree Suite and Igor’s – with various packages on offer.
The options available to fans are:-
Pedigree Suite Package – Opens at 6:15pm: £12 per person and includes pie, mash and peas to enjoy during the game. A package for Under 12s is available for £9 per child, who will receive a child’s portion meal
Igor’s Package – Opens at 6:15pm: £15 per person and includes the choice food from the bar menu
* Both lounges include cash bars.
**Car parking is available on the evening on a first-come-first-served basis in the Toyota West Stand and Marathonbet East Stand Car Parks.

Lose today and Bournemouth win we will be trailing the leaders by 5 and 8 points. We need something from this game today to stay in touch. Annoyed it's another early kick off. Three o clock on a saturday seems to be the exception for us.

Right back to the 80s - off to Portman Rd.

I'm still sticking to my guns that Bournemouth have peaked too soon and will soon start to falter. It's about this time that the outsider for the play offs makes the move, quite a few still in with a shout around mid table.

And Norwich(whom Bournemouth play today) have a new manager. I hope he an fashion a win.

You had me worried there, Wassa. Having spent 15 minutes online waiting for the Bournemouth match tickets to become available, I checked the DCFC website and saw that their release dates to season ticket holders had been changed to Tuesday. Then I saw that tweet and panicked (until I saw 'Beam-Back'.

Can remember there being a few beam backs in the relegation season under Gregory. Those were on the concourses rather than in suites though. I remember going to the beam back v coventry a few years after. The camera broke and all we could see was the corner flag and a shout of yeah every 10 mins as we lost 6-2
