Hamilton Accies fans boycott Albion Rovers stream and raise charity cash instead

Angry Hamilton Accies fans have boycotted the live stream of today's clash with Albion Rovers and encouraged fellow supporters to donate to charity instead.

The club - having initially said there would be a blackout for the clash - are live streaming their final Betfred Cup Group F match for £15.

However, following their recent 8-0 hammering at the hands of Rangers and a 2-1 defeat to Stranraer on Wednesday that ended their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 of the cup, a number of Hamilton fans have decided to show their displeasure at the recent run by snubbing today's dead rubber.

Instead of putting the £15 into the club, Accies fan Craig Rankin has started a Just Giving page and encouraged fellow fans to donate their cash to St Andrew's Hospice.

So far they have raised over £300 for the cause.

Should you wish to watch the match, it is available for £15 on pay-per-view on Accies TV, where striker David Templeton will join presenter Marcus Nash to bring you coverage from New Douglas Park.

The pre-match build up will begin from 2:50pm on  ppv.hamiltonacciesfc.co.uk
