I hate to be negative but is anyone else thinking that this live UK stream is the start of many.. A small part of me thinks they're going to slowly introduce this into the game so anyone can stay at home and watch any team which then will decrease attendances massively throughout the UK... I hope I'm wrong and I do think it's brilliant fans can watch their team (I'd watch it tonight if I could) but is this the start of something

As the current format stands, I think it could possibly affect midweek attendances. Watch the game for a tenner or travel 2hrs plus, £40-50 on tickets, food, drink etc. Obviously, the diehards are going to go, no matter what.

and to think JF wanted to ban RH from doing commentary on home games as it affected attendances.

Will locals be able to watch a home midweek game on ifollow rather than attending BP?

Yes, I believe so, all games that don't start or finish between 1445 and 1800 on a Sat will be available.

Yes - I think it could be a slippery slope.  The die hards will always prefer to go but the floating fans will take this easier option.
I'm setting off in about an hour and a halfs time for MK and with £22 ea entry & Petrol and tea before kick off, its going to cost a lot more than that tenner to see it on ifollow for me and the Mrs.
You just can't beat being there if you are able for me.  That said its a godsend for folk who can't make it there and even better for brits abroad.
I guess it depends on how much of the revenue will end up in the clubs coffers (very little i guess)

No issue with it with the longer away trips like anything 2 hrs plus then i like it as it gives the fans who cant make it access to watch the match for a reasonable price.

Anything 2 hrs or less away then im not so sure as it could put off anyone thinking of travelling and still undecided about attending.

Used in the right way then im all for it.

As far as i am aware you don't even have to subscribe to I follow to buy the match tonight .  The impression i got when subscribing was that "subscribe to iFollow and you get ..blah blah blah...games screened live...blah blah" .... in reality i believe you can just go on the i follow page and buy the game anyway by just registering your email...no need to pay the annual subscription at all.
