    Not had the email but did hear a rumour this was happening as a consequence of the impact illegally streaming services. About time.

    Odd. Does it think you're based overseas? Bit late for an 'early-bird' offer. Seems dodgy to me.
    I'm an overseas subscriber and have not received any such email.

    Dodgy that. Us abroaders already signed up months ago. Early bird - three matches into the season? I think £140 is what I paid, so there’s no discount for you here. Have you done a Sparks and just found this in your inbox?

    The sentence, ‘….wherever you are in the world’, was what attracted me! I am ‘in the world’ when I am at home. If it was ‘outside of the UK’, it should specify the restrictions.
    If they have included in correct information, then it is utterly appalling, whoever put the email out should be held accountable.

    I have sent them the following e-mail.

    I currently am 'in the world', in the UK. Can you confirm this option is available to me?

    Watch this space.

    I assume it won’t include the UK, but as a filthy southerner I’m hopeful!

    Can watch any of them anyway very easily.

    Literally just get a VPN and stick it to another country, will then allow you to buy from iFollow.

    Or get a firestick app with everything on for a few quid a month. Haven't missed a single game in years.

    I have and they ‘detected’ that I was in the UK and despite taking the money for a game blocked me.

    I have even had problems when I was on holiday in Greece with them blocking me. I think they have some form of detection system, and once they have identified your ISP, through some form of bot/algorithm move to block you!

    I have had a reply!


    Hello


    Thank you for your e-mail, we appreciate you getting in touch.


    Unfortunately, we can confirm that the below offer is not applicable to yourself and should have only been sent to supporters outside of the UK.


    Having checked our database we can see that we have had your location listed as France since your sign up in 2015. This has now been updated to reflect that you reside in the UK, and you won’t receive irrelevant offers in the future.


    Thank you for contacting the EFL.


    Kind regards,


    Niamh
