    That's a bit ambiguous - it suggests that when fans are able to go back into the stadium, the option to watch on ifollow won't be there. Fine for those that get in but what about those that don't with the reduced capacity?

    I wonder if they’ll keep the same options as last year for overseas fans, if so you can watch all 46 games for £110.

    £375 for 4th division football is disgraceful.

    How about if it’s possible the club offered a month to month package of the games. You could charge say 25 quid a month (more income for club) and then if fans are allowed back in the month to month is stopped.
    That way constant income into the club and no one is tied in for a full season? Yes it’s more expensive but I can’t see it being as cheap as it once was if it’s the clubs only income?
    Plus for fans here not everyone wants a season ticket due to other commitments/work so you could get some extra income that way


    My biggest worry for this ifollow is people in same households not needing more than one pass. Attending city became more of a family thing with the cheap tickets, surely income would be down based on that?

    Yes I expect at clubs up and down the country will be out of pocket this season due to that, it’s bad but I can’t see how every club survives this I’m expecting casualties.

    There is usually 6 or 7 of us that go as a group, mostly family. We would all just go watch it in the pub together. If the pub isn't an option we would all just gather round one house and bring a crate of beer each. I know I wouldn't be prepared to pay ifollow and sit and watch it at home by myself, I tried that once and was so bored I turned off halfway through.

    Without doubt there will be some, but having watch football since its return even with very good sound effects it's not the way I would watch Bradford City, but then again after 60+ years I'm too old to change my ways.

    Football for most fans is about more than just the 90 minutes, although that is usually what determines our moods after! The whole match day can’t be replicated by simply sitting watching it on a stream. Going, with friends/family, possibly going out before or after you can’t replicate it, it’s something many supposed football fans who are fans through Sky will never understand. I’d have never have got interested in football if I wasn’t taken to live games as a child.

    Spot on Wilsden. Armchair fans who 'support' Liverpool or Man Utd, can never understand the feeling or emotion watching your team play live and the pre match rituals

    I have watched less and less football on tv as the years go by . I much prefer watching cricket on tv actually

    Agree with both Wilsden and Idlebantams comments sport is more than just watching it on tv . I went to the cricket on Saturday Keighley v Baildon. Quit a good setup people keeping at a distance one at a time being served at the bar . The point being is it was good to get out meet up with mates and watch a sport. The general view from City fans I know is that they would rather wait until things are sorted and we get back to Valley Parade rather than watching on tv behind locked gates. Good game of cricket
    I enjoyed a few Saltaire Blondes (bottles)

    Out of pocket!! You mean fold surely. I predicted 15/16 in L1&2 plus up to 3 in Championship. Lower leagues?, who knows, Dover going this week. Many more to follow. More still if people start watching iFollow, at least 3 long term era sitting near me are considering.

    Man City spending £60m on 2 players, and clubs about to fold.

    Absolutely disgusting.

    It is just my opinion right or wrongly, but the one sure thing is it will most certainly will help the club Financially, season tickets should be sold as normal with no declarations on how the system will work, no one really has any idea when it will be ok for the fans to return so if the tickets are priced as last year my guess is you would get at least 8,000 to 10,000 fans renewing no matter what that includes myself,we all know that there will be some early games with no fans allowed so live streaming should be available free of charge to season ticket holders with away games charged at £10 per game to season ticket holders, obviously those that don’t want to purchase a season ticket would need to go through the normal I follow membership with a fee for membership and pay per view per game.

    They’ve just made 50 million selling Sane. Hardly splashing the cash.
    Backed by billionaires. They are not responsible for every club

    I have no real interest in watching football on TV, it bores me rigid. Even when the away games are on ifollow I find myself switching on and off. Until fans are safely allowed back in I'll listen on the radio while doing something else.

    I don’t understand what the issue of Man City spending big has anything to do with us and our league?
    They receive around 100 million give or take In tv money every season. If they get past Real Madrid they will be on to make 40 million just from the champions league. All that is before we have even taken into account merchandise and ticket sales etc.
    The club is absolutely loaded and now just raised 50 million by selling Sane and you’re crying about them spending 60 million? Doesn’t even make sense.

    it’s not their responsibility we wasted nearly 3.5 million in a dire squad in league one. Then around a further 2 million last season in this league. We received a club changing amount from Mcburnie who wasn’t even our player hardly and it’s all wasted. Do we ask Man City for that back too? We need to get our dire house in order before we complain about the boys at the top spending.
