    Oh right, fair enough. I assumed they would all be on the red button. A bit like when they would show every Premier League match replay in the evening...

    They might be as that could be classed as an interactive/digital service? I was mainly adding the point about them being available on Ifollow aswell. Good news for people who can't get to as many games as they would like though!

    I thought last season the EFL had a strategy to play 'big' games in midweek to drive up the fan base watching midweek football?

    This completely flies in the face of this strategy, i can only see this reducing the amount of people who go to games midweek.

    Stuck at work, kids, banging it down, freezing, sod it, i'll watch it on telly.......

    Yet another nail in the coffin of bums on seats, Night games are the best atmosphere of the lot......

    Its not going to help gates but a lot depends on the pricing on iFollow. At its current level of £45 per season the gates will be severely hit but I would expect pricing to increase significantly. Whether that is good or bad remains to be seen

    I cant get to home midweek games so for me this would be great :)

    I'd expect them to run it for a bit & gradually put the price up, to get a big uptake for iFollow, In the long run I agree will rise significantly.
