Quoted from pen penfras


£10 is a lot of money for what you get with other products eg Sky or Netflix, but it's such a niche product that investment isn't worth it. Colchester came out and said they made about £8k from playing Bolton. The number of viewers won't really increase from multiple angles and analysis, but the cost will go up massively.

That's all assuming any of that is even possible with the current ifollow system.

We definitely need to embrace digital formats and advertise the ifollow games, but more features is taking money out of a pot that's already empty


I can't help but think that the club would be a lot better off doing this 'in-house'.  There's quite a decent media set-up at Grimsby Institute, surely it would be better linking in with them to provide this (no doubt could be done relatively cheap as predominantly it's work experience for people).  I confess, I've no idea of the contract terms that we're tied into with IFollow.

I don’t think the media set up at the college is the issue, rather the ownership of rights and so forth to actually broadcast.

I’m not sure anyone is savvy enough at the club to figure these sorts of things out. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, we should be throwing everything behind this platform for the foreseeable. Actually promoting it, incentives, reminding folk and so on. So far there’s been very little which is hardly productive.

On a personal level I think iFollow is awful but it was never really designed for every fan, only small numbers, now it’s every man and his dog using it.

Today’s game is off, my understanding is that we’ve decided against testing people and are just going to quarantine (this in its self seems an odd decision...unless we’re just gonna use it to get fitter, although training will be impacted) so I come streams will be down further.

I appreciate we’d have made about £8 for the checkatrade game but a home game next weekend would’ve generated some much needed income and so would today’s...I just hope we begin to throw our weight behind iFollow and realise the level of it’s importance this season.
