    Back to the OP. Yes you can. I’ve been using the service since the beginning, and it’s improved year on year, so I’m looking forward to this weekend. It costs me 160€ a season and that includes all games home and away. FA Cup matches are audio only. Depending on your internet speed, the games are in HD and very rarely lag. Commentary is via BBC Radio Leeds. I love my Saturdays in front of the tv, weekends wouldn’t be the same without it.

    At high risk (vulnerable due to immune deficiency caused by preventative medication ) Covid, 1, distance and difficult place to get too.

    I haven’t wasted a year and a half for a “live” football match. I don’t really have a choice and there’s a few on here in the same situation who are probably less inclined to talk about it.
    Hope that explains my comments

    Of course it is, but isn't it also good that people like Kev who although living in this country is unable to attend games in person due to distance and health reasons wants to support the club? If the facility to do so is there, shouldn't he have the same rights to watch games as someone living in Spain?

    Good point, someone in Spain can watch it, despite being able to get to Bradford by plane in less than the time it would take you to drive from the Deep South

    I sympathize Kevin. I'm sure there's someone on this thread who could message you with a solution to your problem. There's a few ways to watch the games, home and away, from your UK home.

    Love Poland, would have been a few times in this covid period. If you're going to Gdansk go to the WW2 museum and try and get to a Gdansk home game, the atmosphere is nuts. Zakopane is a must visit if you're around that region, beautiful place.

    The Jewish museum in Krakow was excellent if not a little hidden away. I only stumbled upon it by chance but after free entry and spending 3 hours in there I was more than happy to donate.

    Football might be a harder sell to the missus though. Perhaps someone can take her off my hands before I go? She's a great cook.

    If I can attend that is an option fo me , but still must wait to see if I can get a third jab, age may initially preclude me but medically a goer I think. . It’s on the cards , but meanwhile I have to wait.

    I greatly appreciate your feedback

    Not obvious to me, Kev. What bothers you?

    I imagine it's horrendous being denied the chance to watch live games Kev and I sympathise.

    Perhaps if enough people made the request the FL could look at allowing streams within the UK for people with confirmed medical issues that prevent them attending live?

    It would certainly be a messy, difficult and expensive thing to implement so I doubt they'd even show an interest but it should be possible if there was a will from clubs to help their fans.

    I completely agree, I just think it could make for a good debate by the football powers in allowing those less fortunate than the majority to still watch live games.

    Let's be honest, it's not as if you can't actually watch the game anyway if you really want to.

    Same for me. An Exeter supporting mate who lives in Cracow is coming to mine for the weekend so we'll watch and drink together. I'm even planning to make pies and a curry. I'm so looking forward to it. :)

    You'll get us both deleted for this kind of deviation, but actually a giant sausage roll. ;)

    Loved Krakow when I visited. Hoping to go to Gdansk next (and got advised to go in the run up to Christmas) once covid is well and truly under control.

    Thanks @TallinnBantam@TallinnBantam @Storck@Storck for the reply. I get the same offer here in the Netherlands as you have in Spain.

    Having lived down South I can sympathise with @Kevin1954@Kevin1954 and others about wanting to watch more games via ifollow when travel or personal circumstances don’t allow - abs can therefore totally understand the frustration of what is available to international based supporters. Catch 22 as other mention as you’d expect there is a opportunity to engage fans better via ifollow, certainly in these times, whilst not neglecting the live experience. I also believe the vast majority of fans would choose to attend a live game if it’s the option.

    I wonder if they (the FA/PL/TV companies) will consider a customised package in the future to try become more inclusive? I’d be surprised if they are that arrogant to not be doing so already?...........or am I wishful thinking?!

    Have you been to Warsaw? The Museum of the Warsaw Uprising is well worth a visit. And if you the the Gdansk fans are nuts you wait til you see the Legia 'kibiców' in action.

    Xmas markets in the German-influenced parts of Poland are pretty good. Cracow's isn't bad either.
