It's TV footage with radio commentary if that makes sense!

Yep that makes sense, cheers! And that's definite? You're not just going off the wording in the post on the website?

To believe town will get nothing from ifollow is rubbish.

Nope, I watched the MK Dons game, had the footage and Tondeur and his mate commentating. Worked surprisingly well to be honest.

If the home team gets most of the money then this should be hugely beneficial to us as hardly anyone brings many supporters to BP and leave thousands of fans at home wondering what is happening! For geographical, transport and perception reasons Grimsby is not an attractive destination for many away fans. Getting people who won't/can't corporeally attend to pay for televised coverage should benefit us more than it does clubs in more populous/central areas.

Excellent, thank you.

Though, I'd also argue, our disproportionately large away following is because we have so many exiles.  So, I'd expect us to have a similarly disproportionately large viewing audience log in through the GTFC ifollow site, meaning we'd be better off keeping the revenue that flows via our own website.

Whichever way, I'm really interested to know how the flow of money is distributed through this arrangement, potentially it could affect when and how I choose to watch.  There must be some information out there? At least these kind of details tend to slip out over time.

At least if anyone has paid only £10 today they can just switch of the telly, those poor souls at the ground have a 2 hour home journey still.

40/30/30 split - In very very basic theory it'd be more beneficial financially to Town for an individual to pay and stream then to buy a ticket for an away game, its a no brainier if somebody paid on the day.  A worrying precedent if anybody was to ask me.

Quoted from grimsby pete

The home team gets the biggest percentage,

Then the away team and the EFL share the rest,

Not sure of the actual percent but I did read this somewhere.

Why do people speculate and talk like it's fact? 40/30/30 is complete nonsense.

GTFC get 80% of funds purchased through the GTFC ifollow page. Next season, they're talking about changing the model, but it's available on the internet with a quick search.

"These first draft proposals have been developed on the basis that each club retains the majority of its own income from Domestic Streaming (80%)"

The stream and commentary worked perfectly. Excellent service I thought.
