darra Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) One game left and I reckon Rob and John are doing a good job. Question is do we want Radio Sheffield back next season with all the going around the sheds. I pay what I think is a decent amount of cash to listen to Wednesday matches not United, Rotherham, Barnsley etc As they say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Don't want to hear " Wednesday with a free kick in a great position here, How are United doing Alan Biggs? anymore Discuss.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Has to be iFollow for next season. Giddings and Co. will be acting like all their Christmas's have come at once with the Blades going up. No-one of Blue and White persuasion wants to hear all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 It doesn't matter who does the commentary it would still use I Follow as the carrier it's whether we have a dedicated channel as we have now or share it with other clubs for some matches. I would rather have the dedicated channel we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Speaking as an overseas subscriber. The same problem still remains with iFollow. The better Wednesday play the less matches will be on iFollow. United have been on nearly every week for the last two months and although i'd love that to be Wednesday it'd annoy me to pay 180€ or whatever it is to only have commentary and hardly any live games. These are contractual problems with Sky and overseas providers which are probably not going to change regardless of how much the clubs/supporters dig in. Silver lining this season was that Wednesday have not been on Sky/blackout much this season so it was money well spent, hopefully next season that will change.

darra Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 In the UK it's uninterrupted commentary every week. Not sure how you are watching/listening. My friends in the US and Belgium watch our matches every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 We use a VPN It's about time someone got their act together and realised there is a market for iFollow in this country without people having to be sneaky about it We both have season tickets, and I would much rather be at the game, so we go to the game, even though we could watch it on ifollow My health issues doesn't allow me to go to away games, so we pay to watch through ifollow We've recently bought another 3 year season ticket, so we're not doing the club out of money by getting ifollow, if they find a way to block us, they will lost a payer, and we won't be able to watch away games anymore, who wins in that senario? 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

edmontonowl Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Maybe season ticket buyers should get a free or decently discounted subscription with their ticket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh not noticed him getting it wrong that often. Heard both him and John complaining about where they're sat sometimes. One time they couldn't see a part of the pitch because of a post. Remember John complaining once because the crowd kept standing up and blocking their view or something. Edited April 27, 2019 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP gets pretty intense which I like. It's the away matches where they get the problems. IIRC things were upgraded in Hillsborough press box recently. As I said I don't want to go back to the days of going around the grounds again if we don't have to. Or listening to the likes of Giddins trying to not sound happy if we go behind.

Sonny Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think the commentator is good. I like him. Few too many ‘shout outs’ but people must like it so I’m not too bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 First thing I'll check for next season will be my ifollow subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinners Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I think if Chansiri got Sheff Wed TV going it would be an income spinner. £100 per year subscription, £10-15 per match home or away. Buy cameras and set up for Hillsborough and hook on to other grounds steam with our JP and RON as travelling commentators. I bet a huge number of fans would go for that. Just worked out that at £10 a game with subscriptions of £100 per season and just 4000 supporters buying would be worth over £3m per year.

He called Nuhiu Palmer early on in the season and the last match against Bristol he mixed up their bearded white 6ft midfielder with the smaller black winger more than once. It is a source of humour when I watch it with my dad though, could maybe start a pool or a drinking game using it. I do enjoy the commentary and am very happy that they managed to get it working in sync with the video feed this season. JP's blue and white glasses are awesome as well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I've got a subscription and a love/hate thing with I follow...if it wasn't for O'Neil and Pearson I don't think I'd bother.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
