    They do all sorts of weird things in Bolton, like signing players.

    Presume we are waiting for 100% confirmation from the EFL about what iFollow access fans will get. Other clubs are selling season tickets but saying it MIGHT include iFollow which i think will cause a few problems if it does fall through for any reason. This way fans know exactly what they are buying. If this meeting with the EFL goes ahead as expected then I suspect season tickets will go back on sale over the weekend.

    If Cambridge United are right, then the home iFollow matches are agreed; it's just the rights to include away iFollow matches, as part of a package, that needs to be agreed.

    Hadn't seen that but good news if it is. Hopefully a definitive answer is made one way or another about away matches then at least clubs and fans know where they stand.

    Reading the PL don't think the 30% reduced capacity won't work...Pushing for more.

    "The Premier League and the Government remain locked in talks regarding the safe return to stadiums with the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) planning to have around 30 percent of each arena filled to begin with and eventually ease in more spectators.

    But Premier League clubs reportedly do not think this will work as they seek to grant access to as many season-ticket holders as possible"

    Because they know they will not sell the third of the stadium they can use whereas we reckon we will out sell it so are waiting for full details re iFollow.

    It will be interesting to see if the clubs that were not in the loop with IFollow like Forest Green fc,
    my bet is they will allow live streaming for the financial gain and become members to allow home games to be streamed via IFollow

    I don’t know if this has been mentioned further up but is there anything to stop you buying a claret and amber season ticket so you can go to every home game? Not sure we will actually sell 7k mind

    Says it in here again today. They will be no 3pm live games. Sky are getting 330m because of the changes to the end of the season. PL fans will not be seeing each game played. So wonder how the EFL will get on. Ifollow and Sky are going to have to come to an agreement to get 3pm games on.

    Maybe your right but if the away team that have a good away following like city the normal cost for an IFollow match is £10 or was last season so it would be financially beneficial to be in the loop to get more revenue.

    When you are buying a season ticket you are just buying a season ticket rather than a specific claret or amber one. Claret and amber split will happen when season tickets go off sales.

    I spoke to Ryan Sparks about this and he said its not an option within Covid restrictions

    There are possibly ways round it but the club wont sell one season ticket holder a red and amber ticket

    If you buy a second ticket in someone elses name you could end up with 2 amber tickets for instance

    I tried to buy from I follow when City played them away at Forest Green, not sure about overseas having access via IFollow.

    Will be allowed to show all home games via clubs website.
    Reviewed often by Sky.
    Ends when government allows up to 50% into grounds.
    Season ticket holders watch for free. £10 if not.
    League 1 and 2 need to sort (League 1 & 2 are a joke) who the money will be spread.
    No mention of Ifollow in this as only talking about Saturday, so need to wait on them to agree for midweek.
