The CLA in the North says that rural football fans will be as sick as parrots because they will not be able to watch their national team on Saturday due to no - or slow - broadband.
England’s World Cup qualifier in Ukraine will be shown exclusively live on the internet, and will cost fans at least £4.99
Douglas Chalmers, Director CLA North, said: "Even if they are willing to pay, many fans in rural areas simply cannot access the fast connection required to be able to watch streaming television over the internet.
"This match must not set a precedent. Internet-only broadcasts of important events are simply not acceptable.
"I always thought that big sporting events should bring people together, not send them away to their solitary computer. As a Scot, although my team is not involved I still feel strongly about the principle.
"This is another example of either an ignorant assumption that everyone who wants to can watch in this way, or an arrogant disregard for those who can’t, including the many supporters in rural areas."
