    I had the same package £45 auto renew, I sent IFollow an email regarding the new terms that City are proposing for season tickets including IFollow and why should I renew my IFollow subscription when I will probably get IFollow included in the season ticket costs of £150, I am assuming that the statement city have made is if you have a season ticket you get free home matches on IFollow obviously away games will be charged at last years rate £10 per game
    The advice that came back from IFollow was cancelling would be beneficial as you can renew next year anyway which I have now done and will wait on City giving more clarity.

    Anyone who is issued a claret season ticket attends claret games and watches Amber games via I follow and opposite way round for Amber tickets not hard to understand really.

    But it's not at least half the games in person, they can not guarantee that.

    The elephant in the room with additional lockdown on Bradford puts it two stages behind the rest of the country (except Leciester and Blackburn). If they said football stadia will be open in October, then 2/3 home games will be gone, then factor in a delay in Bradford as it has with gyms, casinos, play areas, and that could be Novemeber. Suddenly instead of 23 home games, there are only 18. If people believe it will get worse in November playing devils advocate and half the season might be gone before anyone has been let in.

    Yes, which makes one season ticket worth while, if you were thinking of a family of 4 the decision starts to be a bit harder as you could in theory as a family watch with just one pass.

    Course there should be if away fans not allowed, but someone or something(red tape) will probably kibosh this sensible move/idea.....

    I guess this is the lower level detail they need to work through. Fair points and you would hope they cover before any revised tickets on sale..

    Thanks for the explanation on the broadcasting rights. The question to be asked of Sky is whether they are willing to loosen their hold on the TV rights for EFL games for a different revenue sharing arrangement and more importantly perhaps, for the good of the game during these difficult times.

    I hope so mate. Our seats are very handy for the exits and no steps for my 92 year old dad to negotiate.

    I'm not aware of any law that prevents broadcasting of football at 3pm on Saturdays. There has been a convention within the old FL since the 60's that TV broadcasters wouldn't do that (as you say to protect clubs' revenues} and that that convention has been perpetuated and incorporated into the Sky and BT TV broadcasting contracts. It's simply a stipulation of the PL and the EFL that the TV broadcasters don't broadcast live football on Saturday at 3pm. And that is now ruthlessly protected by Sky.

    When football was broadcast during the lockdown, it was simply a matter of the PL and EFL together with Sky and BT agreeing that for a period there wouldn't be a limitation on when live football could be broadcast.

    UEFA do impose restictions on when games under the aegis of the English FA (and other domestic FA's) can be broadcast because the FA owns the broadcasting rights to FA matches. I believe this means in our terms that the FA can prevent FA cup games and internationals being broadcast live if they choose to but this doesn't exend to PL and EFL games.

    You don't have to watch it on your laptop, you can connect it up to your TV. Honestly Fordy, 'red buttons' are so 2019.

    If only it was a joke.
    These new rules , won't improve the game. All the clubs in the bottom two divisions, will be dragged down to the same level. How can a business attract better staff to improve its stature, if it can only offer limited salaries , in line with its competitors and those smaller competotors, also take a share of your turnover.

    I do exactly the same but then I don't use Apple products!

    And you can do exactly the same if you have a non-Apple Android tablet with an HDMI port

    I think it's clear that once City announce and launch the season tickets, complete with the confirmed iFollow details, we are going to get quite a few questions regarding the best ways of accessing matches, with all sorts of complicated setups.

    We are truly heading into what is probably the most bizarre season in the Football League's history, where the conversation has shifted from where to park, nearest railway station, best pubs etc. to smart TVs, apple, airplay, HDMI etc.

    One thing I will be doing, as we approach the new season, is trying to build some sort of match day routine. It won't be anything like the same as going to matches but I am determined to make the best of the situation I find myself in.

    Which ever way city decide to go , with the sale of tickets. You will still get the moaners, damned if you do, damned if you dont.
    Its certainly going to be intresting. I wonder how they might work it, if capacity is set at 8000, about 30% and we sell circa 9000 season tickets. How does the claret and amber work then. I am glad that i am not the one making the decisions.

    Just posted on the official Bradford City notice board :

    https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2020/august/season-tickets-to-go-on-sale/

    I don't like this comment :
    Season tickets are to be dispatched via Royal Mail during the month of September. Only upon receipt will supporters discover the seat they are set to occupy, as well as whether they have been allocated a ‘Claret’ or ‘Amber’ season-ticket card.


    As I posted if the club can't guarantee us both a ticket to the same games, I'm not sure I want to attend alone on a regular basis.

    Looks like you have to purchase the tickets together through the friends and family aspect to be certain of getting them together in a bubble Broncs.

    Don't you go worrying your little head I'll be doing exactly as I'm asked "using the ‘Friends and Family’ tool on our official ticketing website".

    I wonder why they have not banned the over 70s as you said they would good job we didn't have a bet on that ;).
