Can't Go? View Today's Game For Free(ish)

We are not quite sure as yet, as these things can be altered right up until the last minute, but if you are unable to attend Hammers Betway Cup friendly against Atalanta at the London Bowl this afternoon, you may well be able to see it on line instead.

This facility, which we are yet to confirm is available via Bet 365, the only snag being you need to have an 'active' account with them, essentially if you don't have an account, you have to open one with a £5 minimum deposit....this is NOT an advertorial or 'sponsored' link.

If you look around, there are probably 'new user' deals available for Bet 365 whereby you put £10 in and get a bunch of free bets, usually loaded in order that you have to spend any of your 'winning' several times before you can actually withdraw the funds!

That said, Ed Jnr opened an account a couple of years ago via a promotion, choosing to only bet on 'wild cards', as a result he as tripled his original £10 AND accessed the £50 that he originally won! We don't however recommend opening an account if you have any gambling issues, we just want to point the way for fans to see the game without charge and legally.

We were waiting for confirmation from Bet 365's head office regarding the stream and hoped to provide an update as soon as possible, but their response was vague, so we are not sure if you need to use a VPN connection. Tech head Org member Scotto assures us it will indeed be possible to see the live stream on Bet 365, but the only way of knowing is by selecting their in play link, hopefully a live stream of the match will appear on their website at 14:555 Hrs, if not there will only be a simulcast update of the match events. - Ed
