Last time though they wanted us to register well in advance of the Forest game and also stated there would be different options available for refunds that they were working on.

Cardiff are offering partial discounts on 2021-22 season tickets for those who take up ifollow for home games. https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/202021-season-tickets-streaming-vouchers-credit Have to see what we come up with but doesn't leave much time to consider any options. Not sure about rolling onto the next season myself either. I'd rather have a partial refund to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkstar Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I mailed the club about this a couple of days ago Hi With the first game of the 20/21 season taking place this weekend would it be possible for the club to update those of us who committed our money for season tickets earlier in the year? Is there to be any similar offer to last season involving ifollow access? Refunds? Vouchers? I understand the situation is very fluid and potentially fans could be back in stadiums within a few weeks but equally I don't think it is too much to ask as fans for a little information ahead of the first games so we have some idea of what to expect. Please consider this as a priority as there are a large number of loyal Wednesdayites who are currently left in the dark on this and given the recent publicity the club have put out referring to reconnecting with the fan base this isn't really in that spirit. Many thanks Amazingly they replied today.. Hello Thank you for your email all details will be released in the next couple of days before our first home match on the 19th September. Any promotional codes for any missed matches will just be for home matches only. Kind Regards Doesn't tell us a great deal but at least it looks like we should be hearing from them soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockyowl Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) So, with 2 days before the season starts we have no idea if we can purchase away games to view on iFollow for £10 a go. Furthermore I've paid £555 for a season ticket that I can't use, plus an u17 for £150 but I can watch 23 home games on a steaming service for free with a value of 23 x £10?

Neon Nick Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 IFollow has different rules for the UK, and overseas, it's intended for overseas fans, but I never understood why it's not available in the UK, or at least in England. This season iFollow says, on the official SWFC site, that it is still only available overseas. But, it's hard to say if that's true or not during the Covid Season, when the stadia will be empty. The only way for an Englishman to find out, is to try to buy a Season Pass. 140 pounds, ($178 US) buys all matches, even if SKY is broadcasting, plus, the Carabao this year, this latter and certain other matches were never on iFollow, so maybe iFollow will offer their broadcasts to UK fans this year.

Sky have said clubs can off season ticket holders, ifollow for free for all home games plus midweek away games. However the club haven't offered season ticket holders this yet. This is possibly due to being away this weekend, so hopefully we hear something before the first home game.

Hypnotiseme Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 So does anyone know what's being shown on Sky this year in terms of the Championship? Is it just select games and will these games also be viewable on ifollow if also on Sky? Are the red button midweek games still on Sky? All I can see on Sky's website are 90% Premier League games and one Championship match a week. I'd be a bit gutted if it's just a match once in a blue moon on Sky and would cancel my rolling subscription if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 The Sky contract is as before so will select a couple of games a week to show. These will be available to home season ticket holders on ifollow as part of any club arrangement - but not sure if the £10 match pass is available I have a sneaky suspicion that ifollow is being downplayed for tomorrow because there is a lot of games at 3pm including League 1 and 2 for the first time.

mattitheowl Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Sky are really f*cking over clubs and fans here. I appreciate that a season ticket only buys you access to home games anyway but in the current situation where there is no choice to go to games surely a compromise has to be reached. If they are valuing games at £10, that means that every team is going to have to shell out some serious cash in refunds. In my household we have 2 adult STs, so for the equivalent price of £230 we get access to what we've paid over £1000 for. Where are clubs finding 3/4 of their ST sales money from to just give back to fans (on top of the refunds from last season). This will kill clubs. Just not bothered...

There aren't many clubs like ours that have had early bird season tickets , so for the vast majority I would have thought they'll be paying £10 a match and they won't have got s season ticket yet because of the covid situation, I think we are in a minority . It's up Wednesday to sort some fair package out for people with season tickets but of course tomorrow is the first match and the only way you can watch legally is via ifollow at £10 , the club have been silent , which is no surprise to me.
