Harrogate do not use iFollow, but you can still pay £10 and watch the game through their streaming service. So does that mean we do not get any income from them (ie first 500 subscribers) ? Anyone know?

I don’t think Orient use iFollow either but it was available on Saturday.

I applied yesterday afternoon and received less than 5 mins later.👌👍

Can I not buy it at 7:30 in time for kick off?

Probably, but why make it hard for yourself? Unless you're not sure if you can make it or not?

Just paid for tonight's game, wouldn't let me pay with PayPal again so paid by card.

Will be logging in well before the game in case I have any problems (spinning circle on blank screen)

Last time that happened I just kept reloading it until it started working.

i always pay 10 minutes before kickoff, then keep on it, always been fine, ableit the ifollow camera position and commentary, but at least we havent got Gary Neville :)

Looking good at the moment - players warming up

Had the blank screen with the spinning circle for about a minute but yeah, it's working fine for me now.

Just purchased my first of the season (Not due to not wanting to, just busy with my own football etc) Really excited for this evening's game! I haven't watched a live town game in what seems like forever!! Imagine the feeling when i'm back in that away end  8) <3

Feeling down, looking at BP and listening to the warn up, all sounds so souless😔😔

Straight in tonight although I had issues on Saturday meaning I missed most of the first half

I emailed their support team and they got back to me towards the end of the game

Not sure if this will help anyone tonight but just in case... although seeing as though I advised the browser I was using ( Chrome ) and they asked me to state which browser I was using in their reply, it doesn't instill confidence  ::)

Afraid so🤬

I’ve never had a problem with iFollow. Would recommend using it on your ipad. I don’t think it’s particularly designed to play through computers.

Last season when i lived with my now ex i had to watch it on my phone  ;D It used to run smoothly. But now  I want to try watch it on a decent size screen!

How do you get rid of the pause/play circle in the middle, this is a crap service...

Well after missing most of the game on Saturday when we won, I saw the whole game tonight and we lost... I know which outcome I'd rather have  :-/

Sussex out that if your watching on the internet, through the official site, that if you let it run and put up with the buffering for ten minutes or so then refresh it plays without a problem

Really disappointed with ifollow tonight. No buffering and was able to watch the whole game.

Seconded...  ;)

But why is it about 10 minutes behind real time?

First match I've seen since March and now I wish I hadn't! Lots of swearing and cursing until I managed to work out that I needed to change the refresh rate for the output from my laptop to the TV. So jerky it was all but unwatchable until that point. After it was fixed, perfectly decent image quality.

Don't know who most of the players were and, disappointingly, I can't say that I have much of an idea about their respective qualities after 90 minutes as nothing much was on show from anybody tonight. Really poor goals conceded and we were lucky there weren't more due to some very poor play from the keeper and defenders at times. Harrogate decent and well-drilled but nothing overly special.

I just hope that we can get a settled side once the fitness is up to scratch as there weren't any partnerships or linking between players on show tonight.

Unbelievable that after you've paid it doesn't offer you a link to click on to watch the match. It is appallingly designed

It's not ideal but I watch it through the app on my phone, then do the screen mirroring to TV.   Or on laptop (plugged into router with Ethernet cable) and connected to TV with HDMI - that s worked best, but laptop has decided to stop working properly :(

Couldn't fault what I was watching - just what I was watching

iFollow is only as good as your hardware and internet connection.

I have never had a problem (except when everyone has a problem, ie a fault with iFollow)

My 5 year old phone cast onto my TV or my 8 year old laptop hmdi cable to TV have worked every time. I found Chrome the best browser for the laptop. We do have a very good cable internet connection though.

I did plan to try and cast to my (pretty new) TV, but it wouldn't work. However, I've just remembered that I changed my wifi setup the other month and I use a wired connection to the TV. Probably didn't update the wifi password on the TV. D'oh!
