Gateshead

Carlisle United are pleased to confirm that tonight’s pre-season friendly against Gateshead will be streamed live on CUTV.

Commentary will be provided by BBC Radio Cumbria’s Sophie Mason and a first team player.

The stream will start at approximately 7:05pm, ahead of the 7:15pm kick-off.

Following feedback from the Rochdale game on Saturday, fans will see improvements to the watchability of the stream, however, the overall framerate and quality of the stream depends on the internet connection at Gateshead.

Chief Executive, Nigel Clibbens said: “There were some initial teething problems and learning points from Saturday’s first stream, which the team have reviewed and worked on since then. 

"The main issue we face at non-EFL grounds is the reliability of internet connection, which is a difficult one because it cannot be guaranteed at away stadiums.  

"We also have a different arrangement with BBC Radio Cumbria for sound and commentary for tonight’s game, due to them not doing full match coverage on their channels. 

"We also understand the filming position at Gateshead tonight should be better suited to filming for streaming coverage.”
