    This came up in my weekly job feed from indeed.c.uk. Could possibly be for Watford FC or at least a few of the local clubs so may be something that could be of interest to some on here. Watch Watford and earn Money! I don't need the money enough and would rather enjoy the game so not really for me but maybe for one of you out there, and may get you free entry to games too!

    Caveat: It may not be Watford FC but worth asking.

    This will be for websites like bet365 to provide the inplay data of each match as it's happening.

    Yeah I figured it'd be that or a company that provides data for the like, but thought it's quite possible that it's for covering watford home matches.
