    I say yes. It's great to be able to see the interviews etc and personally I like to watch the full match replays from away games I might not have been able to attend. It depends how much you plan to use it, but it's pretty cheap.

    Definitely worth it in my opinion, also the club gets more money from your subscription than you actually pay apparently.

    Definitely worth it,the odd annoying glitch now and again but overall pretty good.

    I find it worth it. Commentary is of good quality.
    They slacked on full match replays a bit last year, but I'm hoping they'll be more likely to get on top of them if we're actually winning some games.

    Best £38 (or whatever it is now) you can spend after your season ticket IMHO.

    I have had it for a few years and will probably get it again. However I expected to be able to get commentary on my ipad when not at home but you can only get it on a PC.

    If you use the football league app you can also get it on your iPad/iPhone
    You can also use photon browser as well.The all is easier though

    Yes but I haven't found any way to listen to the commentary. All you get access to are the videos.

    Good for commentary, I thought there was a big drop in replays and other videos last season as they seemed to be more bothered about youtube. Hopefully that will pick up again this season, still worth it though

    you can, on football league app.

    hard to explain without actually doing it, be you need to be logged in to player on the on the app, and once games started you click on the fixture and then a play button appears to play the commentary

    You need Flash, I coudn't listen on the hubby's phone for 3 quarters of last year until I saw someone on here mention Flash and once we installed it it worked fine. If you install Puffin browser that will allow you to download Flash player.

    The play button doesn't appear unless you have some version of Flash on your phone.

    I have iphone which doesn't have flash, The play button appears on the football league app.

    not talking about accessing player via the browser/safari but the seperate FL app. definitely a play button to listen to commentary im sure of it

    Thanks people. :) I will continue to sort it now I know it can work. I have an android phone and an iPad mini and I believe flash is not supported by apple products. Andytyke has an Iphone and play button appears on the app? JamDrop, is your phone android?

    Just as a heads up the FL app commentary link usually isnt there until kick off so its hard to check it out in advance and you dont get any of the pre game build up which you do if you connect via the website - no idea why not

    As Gally says above you can also use the photon browser - but that requires a little bit more faffing about and you need to pay for it - not expensive - I think it cost me about £2.99 a couple of years ago but you can get pre match commentary build up with it. It also has the advantage that you can view other flash sites so personally I think it was worth the outlay though it is a bit clunky to use
