Quoted from MarinerBen
Personally, I live in the SW of England. If I can watch games that I otherwise cannot attend, I damn rightly will... as would any good supporter.

I agree however, bums on seats are what matters on the day which is why I’m attending the first two home fixtures when visiting my family at weekends. Internet streaming is a last resort, yet it’s also another means of income for what would be nothing for the club.


That wasn't your average internet streaming lark though Ben, was quality IMO. We may lose a few UK exiles.

I agree with you, the quality of iFollow is very impressive. I just hope people use it responsibly otherwise I can see this facility being reviewed.

Yep, couldn't agree more. EFL clubs, particularly at the excrement end of it need as much money as they can get. Okay, they'll get a bit of the pie from the IFollow cash but I can't see it being that much. If people end up in Cleethorpes pubs watching home game, the club is in trouble.

It's likely to be the beginning of the end for travelling support in the football league. Being able to watch every game will hurt attendances.

Are the pubs not breaking some legal rules doing this?

Where you based ben?

Want to get I follow but don't really do technology type stuff. Understand the iPad logic, just wondered if I could stream it to my tv?

I don't get to many away games, but it's all about the experience/atmosphere for me, you can't get that watching from your own sofa.  
If people would rather watch in telly then I don't think they're a true supporter.*

I completely agree but not everyone understands that. We are giving people the option to sit and watch at home or in the boozer

Having every game possible to view via stream hasn't hurt EPL away attendances, the experience of an away day is more than just the game and I doubt many would decide not to go to any because of iFollow. What you need to remember is away days are expensive for a lot of people, who ration them to a few a season. For these people iFollow is a great way to watch the game, whilst building up the excitement for other away games. I couldn't go on Saturday, but seeing the away end made me really wish I could.
