Anyone know if I can buy this as a one off game ?

Don't think so. No now tv sort of thing available on BT sport as far as I know. Do you have friends or relatives with BT sport package? You can then log in if they add you or something like that I am sure I read when someone raised this before.

Otherwise usual sites for a stream is your only other way.

Royal Antwerp.

Can you tell us more about these connections with Royalty and how  proud the fans are of that ?

Like you,we are very proud of our Royal and loyal connections too. 

According to wiki any organisation older than 50 years can petition to have the Royal prefix added to their name. There are only two teams in the Belgian top division that don't have it.

The supporters value mostly being the oldest team in Belgium, many teams have "royal" in the name in Belgium to be honest. The supporters value tradition alot and are very passionate about the team and the city. It is similar to Glasgow in a way. Our fans have an English connection (founded by an Englishman) and hence we do sing alot of songs in English as well as in our local language (Flemish), the fans are mainly proud of our tradition and atmosphere during games, if the atmosphere wasn't good enough during a home game all most people can talk about is how shit it was, despite winning the game, result is often secondary to the atmosphere. As you will see tonight one of our stands (Tribune 2 as we call it) is over a 100 years old, part of the stadium is brand new, but up till a few seasons ago our stadium was in ruins. You will see old and new today which is strange combination.

It is a big shame that there won't be any fans as  we would have brought alot of away fans and so would Rangers. When we played away in Plizen for the qualifiers last year we sold out all away tickets and brought thousands of fans across without tickets, the next game in AZ (Netherlands) they didn't allow away fans as they were not prepared to deal with that many away fans.

Nice wee video package for tonight.

Nice effort but a wee boob there, “Right now there’s only one colour in this town” Should drop the “Right now”.  It’s always Blue the recent 12 year have emphatically proved that.
