Quoted from Mayaman


As an exile, I'm hoping I can get to see the games still.  If we only have access to Televised games that will be crap.  I don't have the choice of going to a live game. If I could, I would. Back to reading results online. Even Ceefax was more exciting as you waited for the page to change.


Pretty sure they won't scrap the overseas package. The Sky deal is domestic; it's of no benefit to anyone to sack off the overseas deal and all the revenue that comes with it.

Quoted from Sky:
"From the 2024/25 season onward, this agreement makes more matches available to stream and will effectively replace the current Sky Sports EFL red button coverage and the EFL's domestic streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services. Domestic streaming audio services will remain alongside existing audio-visual arrangements for international audiences via iFollow and club streaming services."

Still the issue of VPNs for domestic viewing. Why pay Now TV more? I wonder if there'll be a crackdown on that?

That's on the assumption that it will be cheaper for exiles. I'd fully expect a big price increase for overseas streaming. Or have they already listed the price?

As soon as they find an overseas partner iFollow will be ended. Next season will probably be the final season.

Made my day Poojah.  As you often do, but usually with your well crafted anecdotes.

I wonder if Sky will show a game moved to 12.30 on a Saturday by the Police, or if the Police will have any infuence over Sky changing kick off times?


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

New Sky Sports + for next season  - fantastic coverage of EFL with guaranteed minimum of 20 Town’s games to be televised live, at no additional cost for existing Sky Sports customers. 😀😀

Hopefully getting to watch Town more next season is a good thing and not something to threaten kids with.

Is there such a thing as "an overseas partner"? You need lots of them in different regions. It makes more sense to do it yourself and sell it to overseas subscribers.
