I could see a point where PL stay on 3PM blackout and maybe Championship whilst L1 and L2 can have their games on iFollow on a pay per view basis.

That way the attraction is still there for casual fans to attend as the big boys will not be available

 

Is iFollow a thing in the National League?

 

Interesting error in there.

"The warning notice stated that police would only pursue those who continue to sue the streaming services"
Sueing them for not providing free snacks I suppose

 

Why what time do you watch it Steve .

 

Kevin, I'm not really referring to the quality of bandwidth from your own service provider.

I speaking more of the quality of service from the dodgy server where you're getting your stream from.
Dodgy providers seem to be more interested in your cash than quality of service, therefore may have a contention ratio on their servers, whereby once there's a significant number of subscribers on it, the buffering and pixilation occurs.

 

Pretty clear explanation on how to watch games on Saturdays. I would recommend buying the vpn, free ones tend to "throttle" your Internet speed to make you buy the full version.

If there's a few of you who can't attend the game, an idea would be to share the vpn. You can usually use the same account on various devices, so the subscription fee becomes more manageable

 

I would take a slightly different angle on ifollow in that it should be allowed on Saturday etc but should be priced as per the admission fee for an adult, as per the relevant club hosting the game.
Yes I accept this is potentially costly to a fan (especially those in lesser age paying categories) but you then could have multiple persons watching same game and clubs have to recoup potential losses, whilst making potential gains, especially in the lower leagues where finance seems an ongoing issue.

I used to be against the idea of ifollow on a Saturday afternoon but as @Kevin1954 alludes and I'm sure many others can relate to and the fact you can watch on a dodgy firestick for a few quid benefits whom exactly?

Always be those whom take advantage. But it time to put the football consumer to the fore.

 

Dave I said I would pay double the price of a season ticket and I wasn’t kidding. It’s worth it! My health isn’t.

I’m lucky it’s affordable for me but others not so lucky, then put it down to money gained as little as they may charge, against money lost!

 

Watching on TV is a lesser experience to being there in person though so I don't think the price should be the same. Somewhere around the 13 to 15 pounds mark would be a fair price I think.

But isn't that the point the powers that be are missing? Fans that enjoy the full match day experience and away day experience aren't going to suddenly sack that off because the game is available on ifollow. There are plenty of fans however that for any number of reasons can't go to games in person, but that could and would pay to watch from home. It's extra revenue there for the taking, madness it isn't being taken advantage of imo.

 

I don’t see it seriously denting away following. Those who are going to Exeter this weekend are going anyway. If it’s a game I can get to I’ll go rather than watch on telly. I’m 100% certain the club would get more money out of me if they had Saturday iFollow.

 

Nah, I wouldn't miss a City home game to watch that.
If it was live on Sky I'd record it to watch after the City match. Otherwise I'd just have to make do with highlights on MotD.

 

And I have coincidentally just moved abroad (wink, wink).

 

I wouldn't care who it was that was playing, there isn't a single game I'd want to watch above watching City.

 

Yes agree wholeheartedly the EFL are a joke, and the sad part of it is they now try to force you to pay £2.50 for Audio yes it is free if you can access through an old fashioned radio and live in the proximity of West Yorkshire, but they have blocked online listening forcing those that live outside west yorks to pay £2.50 why when last season I along with thousands of other supporters helped the club out by paying for my season ticket plus never missed a match away including the Micky Mouse cup games at £10 a pop, they will not get another penny from me for the way they treat the loyal supporters.

 

Yes that’s a very good point, so does that mean then that you will be able to watch Salford and Forest Green for a fee who have opted out of the IFollow and if that’s the case then Bradford City and Sparks need to address this because there are a lot of BC fans that would subscribe when they can’t get a ticket to some away games with limited capacity.

 

There are very easy ways to continue with Saturday Ifollow games for the ones you cant attend.

I will be watching Exeter vs City tomorrow from the comfort of my sofa here in Leeds.
