Each to their own but I prefer paying for the official commentary and paying £10 for the games I can’t make which are streamed. The club get 80% ish of my money and my experience of watching sport on illegal streams has been terrible so don’t see saving a couple of quid as worth the hassle.
That said my one gripe with audio commentary is the lag. When I’m listening at work I’m usually told about goals 2 minutes before I hear them scored!

The bigger picture is the EFL opened a can of worms when they introduced iFollow. It was supposed to be only available to those living abroad but it didn't take a genius to work out that there would be ways around that. I imagine this horse has bolted and there will be a knock on effect on attendances for generation to come.

It bothers me when hear loads of people saying I probably would have gone but just gonna opt for ifollow, as I always think a big away following can inspire the player's. If a large bundle of people opt to stay at home and watch when they would have attended gad the option not been there, then it quite a negative hit.

Having a disable wife to care for and not been in the best of health myself recently I follow is the only way apart from the highlights on mariner player to see town. There is nothing like being at a live game but if you can not get there i follow is the best way to support the club as they get £8 from the £10 you pay. I don't like dodgy companies because you don't know who they are and its not lawful but its up to the individual to make their own mind up if they choose to watch. I agree getting to an away game encourages the players but it does not give the club any money apart from 5 % of the ticket if you have purchased it from the club, its not really suitable to do that for a lot of exiles like myself. So if I go to Colchester the club will receive nothing of my ticket fee or the car park fee, As my eyes or should I say eye as one has only 10% of its vision I will stay at home in the warm and give the club £8 of my I follow fee so in my eyes its a win win situation

That's understandable in your case Pete completely, in such a circumstance it clearly a great thing.

I don't care, I get to watch every single Town game live for the rest of the season, and if I want, every Premier League game too. I have no knowledge whether it is 'legal' or not, and no, you don't have to pay a £10 match fee to iFollow.
You’re the worst kind of fan

Ultimately, whether or not you want to use an IPTV service with pirated streams or not comes down to how comfortable you are with theft. Because that's effectively what it is.
If you're happy to either pay dodgy people to steal content from the providers who have shelled out the money for it in the first place (though admittedly, many of these providers have a rubbish and expensive service) or get it from 'free' streaming sites, then fair enough, go ahead.
Just don't try to invent spurious reasoning as to why it is 'fair' to do so. If you can't afford something you want it is unfortunate, but it doesn't mean that you should just rightfully be able to take it in any case.

Lol, I have been into computers since the Commodore *64/84 came out, and consoles before that. I play computer games every day of the week for round about 8 hours each day. I also attended NLTC and did an IBT 2 as a mature student some years back, so I am ok with computers, to a degree.
*Not sure which number it was now.
It was the Amiga 64 and Amiga 120 that your thinking off. I stared with the 64 and later upgraded to the more powerful 120. At the time they were better than other PCs in that they had dedicated chip for graphic handling were all other PCs only had a single chip to handle everything. It was Amigas that were used for the first Jurassic Park film graphics. They used 'workbench" as their operating system.
