We are not in receipt of all the relevant details regards the streaming of games, and iFollow related issues as of right now. As soon as we are advised on all of that, there will be a full and comprehensive article published on our channels. I could give my opinion, I could give advice and what I think might be right etc, but I don't want to give anyone advice that's later proven to be useless. Please bear with us. I'm sure folk can appreciate that this is completely foreign to us and with 11 days to go, to not be in a position of 100% knowledge is quite frustrating. Rest assured, as soon as we have every detail and can be sure on all relevant matters, we will communicate most effectively on club channels. Cheers.
Hopefully it will be something as simple as using your Eticketing login details got iFollow and away games coverage gets sorted out so people don't use a season pass refund to pay to watch them.
Living overseas, I purchase the annual subscription, which allows me to watch the majority of the games live. The ones which are blacked out, tend to be carried by one of the USA channels, anyway. With this big uptick in new users, I hope that iFollow are ramping up there technical ability to support a much larger audience.
Yes it will be somewhat annoying if we have lots of buffering issues because instead of having a few hundred overseas fans watching a game its many thousands
It will be very simple, but won't be your suggestion as they're two completely separate entities. Like I say, bear with us.
With the first game being an away game there are even 18 days left with regards to the free watching of home games.
It’s actually 12. 12 days until the resumption of the season. And the EFL still haven’t given all 24 clubs all the relevant detail regards streaming and other issues. Half of those clubs are at home in 11 days. That was my point. And it’s not free, is it? Season ticket holders paid money to watch all 23 home games.
All fair points, but as far as getting access to the home games without having to fork over another 10 quid BFC have a bit more time. If you wanted to watch the first game, which is away, you'd go the usual way of paying 10 quid to watch it as was already in place. I can imagine the first day will not go very well regardless with the streaming service likely having to scale up massively, but we'll see.
Never before have 3pm games been legally available to UK supporters. There's no advantage or less time for any club either. There is a date to have this up, tested, running and in place before the restart. Alternative kick-off times are helpful.
