@owlstalk Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Fresh from its maiden campaign in 2017/18, iFollow is back for the new season with significant changes in place to enable UK-based Wednesdayites to watch the Owls live! The innovative live streaming platform was launched last term to revolutionise the way overseas fans could follow Wednesday overseas, with all league fixtures streamed live – save those selected for TV coverage. And new for 2018/19, UK fans – previously outside of the live streaming agreement entirely – will have access to select midweek fixtures exclusively through iFollow. Representing a huge step forward on the digital front, all midweek Championship fixtures throughout the coming season will be streamed live in the UK, with the exception of those selected for live TV coverage. Previously, the live streaming of games through the iFollow service was exclusive to international subscribers. Owls fans overseas will continue to enjoy access to every league fixture, Saturdays included, as per 2017/18, while live audio commentary remains in place domestically for every Owls game. The models for domestic and international subscriptions are as follows: Domestic (UK/Ireland/Isle of Man/Guernsey/Jersey) Match Pass | £10 | For matches available to be streamed live in the UK (outside the blocked hours of 2:45pm - 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons, Championship fixtures not broadcast on Sky Sports) Monthly Pass | £4.49 | – Live audio commentary only Season Pass | £45 | – Live audio commentary only International Match Pass | £5 | – For matches available to be streamed live outside the UK Season Pass | £110 | – For all matches available to be streamed live outside the UK Match passes will be available once TV selections have been confirmed around six weeks in advance. Supporters should note that games selected for live TV coverage overseas will not be available to iFollow subscribers due to the EFL worldwide broadcast contract. For UK subscribers, regular Bank Holiday fixtures will not be available as part of the same agreement. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.. Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 So despite all the problems people had last year there's zero promise of improvements or fixes to their system/streaming/networks? No commentary added to the live video? Still the same single camera with no replays/alternative angles? Still only grainy 720p? Still have crowd audio not in sync with the action? Still get locked out if you have the audacity to log in more than once? Etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's a bit Darwinian asking punters who can't work out a VPN to pay £10 instead of £5..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 One step closer to every game being available (unless tv broadcasted). I expect there may be a 2nd type of season ticket available for online streaming for football clubs in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I bought iFollow last season, it stopped working after the first 4 matches, I never saw another "full-match replay", I contacted SWFC, and was told it "doesn't work using Windows 10 and Edge....won't buy it this season, but will buy the new kit, and other things from the Owls Megastore.

I've got Windows 10 and Edge but just used the Google Chrome web browser instead to login to iFollow. This worked fine for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This nonsense really annoys me. The technology is there everybody knows the service that people want to buy. Stop making people mess around with vpns and trying to fiddle the system. There is only way this is going so let's just get there. An online season ticket showing all games for the particular club you support. Thousands of tickets would be sold per club, it's a fortune maker.

Thank you both for your thoughts on this matter, I'll try Chrome, and would love to pay South Stand season-ticket prices for guaranteed full-match replay, with coordinated audio, and on demand, because time-zones make it impossible for fans worldwide, to tune in live, but, the live option would be nice too. Season ticket prices for guaranteed audio & video, full-match, live or on demand ex post facto? I'll buy that...one for my house and another for the Rose & Crown "pub", where I raise a glass from time-to-time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I had iFollow last year. Main reason I'm not subscribing is that i foulnd that spending 2 hours looking at an ordinary away game on a laptop is really boring and anti social. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattitheowl Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 So basically it's going to show all the mid-week games then if I read that right? Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthing_owl Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Seriously though why should people in UK pay twice the price for the same product? Can you imagine the uproar if people from another country where charged twice the price we pay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to support the Club, it's important for overseas fans to buy all they can afford. Get 50,000 overseas fans to spend $300 and the Club sees $15,000,000, just how this money can be used (FFP?) I do not know. Overseas fans can't be present at the matches, but we can provide financial support. So, I'd buy a t.v. season ticket for the pub too.
