Two days after conferencefootball.tv went pay per view, the direct links to games without the need for subscription have already appeared on various forums.
Security issues were claimed to be the problem when the original TFFC site went under, with the owners claiming that too many people were accessing the site without paying.
Now, the lessons of the past have been ignored with direct links to the games accessible to all. The previous site upgraded security immensely but then shot themselves in the foot by using the same easily discoverable naming for the individual matches.
Now it seems the new owners have chosen the same route, with an anonymous poster on the Confguide forum offering a brief tutorial on how to watch games - and several other posters posting correct links to games after following the instructions. Though the thread disappeared after less than 90 minutes it had received over 300 views. In a poll on the unofficial HUFC forum, 84% of respondents were unwilling to pay the £14.99 subscription charge.
How long the site will survive this time will rest squarely on the shoulders of the new owners, but if they continue to ignore the past then the "experiment" may not survive the season.
