@owlstalk Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm going to pay for I-Follow tonight even though the match is on red button The red button is free but no replays, one camera angle etc just isn't really good enough in my opinion So as always I'm watching tonight but understand that the sales of I-Follow has proven that most fans don't even bother watching the games anymore (which probably explains the number of fools slating Barry Bannan So will you be watching tonight? If so - Sky, I-Follow, IPTV or just listening to audio? 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0742 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yes, but i've found myself recently either switching off or it just being on in the background whilst i do some work. It's been tough viewing this season, not surprised iFollow sales are on the decline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Back Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If I watch it it will be on Sky. But, it kicks off a 7pm so I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair since lockdown they've never took off People just haven't been watching their clubs on I-Follow for whatever reason More fans than ever before haven't seen their team actually play a game this season (all teams) 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yeah, I’ll watch on Sky. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some i've spoken to have been disgusted with the way players are paid so much, when people are struggling.

pazowl55 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The last thing I want is replays of all Brentford's goals and our appalling final balls. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Bradford City are one of the clubs who actually publish their I-Follow sales figures - https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2021/february/ifollow-sales-figures-january/ What I'd give for a club that's transparent and straight with fans as that! 2 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Carlisle United also publish their IFollow figures and also the actual revenue that brings them “We’ve had a total of 12,454 paid streams from our 15 League Two games so far. “This gives income to the club of around £89,000, after adjusting for payments to host clubs when we play away. “That’s an average of 823 paid club streams per game (760 after nine games). The average number has grown 8% since game nine. “On top of that, for every home game we have around 300 more season ticket holders who are also streaming the game [who have opted to take iFollow instead of a refund]. “The challenge in the last update was to break the 1,000 stream mark for the first time. We did it against both Cheltenham and Tranmere. Our record away stream so far is 1,020. https://www.carlisleunited.co.uk/news/2020/december/ifollow-subscriber-numbers-and-income-continue-to-grow/ Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragonOwl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I probably will. It usually gets 15 mins before kick off and I always end up watching it. I prefer I-follow simply because I can change audio between home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
