iFollow this season

[gazza]

Oh well, so it's additional £10 then :(

 

[Bluegoose]

I would guess the IFollow crowd audio knob was turned up too high, perhaps someone will read this and fix it next game.

 

[bazzashrimper]

If you are in the UK and have the £45 season pass you have to pay £10 per game for a match pass, this is only available for games not kicking off at 3.00pm Saturday's

And can you buy a match pass without having the season pass?

I was looking forward to watching the Luton game tomorrow, but then realised that due to my house move I might not have broadband set up.

I can hotspot off my mobile onto my laptop attached to my TV. Has anyone tried using ifollow on mobile data rather than broadband?

Is it worth paying my £10?

If you get to watch it tomorrow can you keep quiet on the score until Tuesday night.

Uses a lot of data allocation, having done it last year. 2-3GB min.

. That’s cool, vodaphone gave me 50gb due to their **** up.

Just wanted to see if it was possible.
Cheers

Communication with regards to what the customer is entitled to seems to be a little bit lacking with regards to ifollow.

I have the option to buy a match day pass without the £45 UK season pass, but not when I’m trying to do so through the app. I have to sign in on some sort of internet browser, like safari on my phone.

Whether that means I won’t be able to watch it through my phone once I’ve bought the pass, I don’t know. Hopefully because my laptop is as slow as Anton so won’t stream very well.

Personally, I've never understood their pricing policy of £4.49 a month or £45 a year.

Considering they hardly publish anything on iFollow for the 3 months in season break, add to that, customers that travel globally either for holiday or business (where games are played in the middle of the night), I would have thought they would have had the annual subscription at around the £35-£40 mark, to make it more enticing to customers and having an annual subscription up front in their bank account.

 

[danwhite86]

I assume the same is in place for watching the Luton game from Ireland? And do you get access to full match replays at all with any of the subscriptions? Reluctant to try because of the stories of bad quality/sound issues.

 

[LennySUFC]

Thinking of doing this tomorrow. I used it last season via a proxy and the commentary was so out of sync it was abysmal... has that been rectified this season?

 

[Tyga]

Commentary has been fine. The Bradford game the commentary volume was too low and drowned out by the crowd noise but it was not out of sync.

 

[IamJack]

Their is a guy in Australia, don't know if he is on here who puts the iFollow up into a stream most weeks and just asks for PayPal donations. Worth searching on twitter for.

Two questions:

1) How much of the £10 match fee goes to the club ( or the £8.33 after VAT)
2) Will the stream lag the one minute behind real time that happens on the radio commentary. Chris Phillips' and the Clubs Twitter feeds are quicker on goals scored than iFollow

Monthly Pass

• Video highlights

• Receive the weekly club newsletter †

£4.49

Does anyone know whether this indicates that after the match is over, people with a monthly pass (or season pass) will be able to watch a full match replays for free? That is what the asterisk against the "Watch matches live..." (marked with a red cross on the website) and against the "Full match replays" suggests to me...

Andy Holt, the Accrington chairman seemed to indicate that not a lot went to the club.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Can you get it to play from your mobile onto your TV?

1) I wouldn’t try and fight it. It’s the future of sport viewing - people will still go to away if they can afford to. The club would get more money than you not going at all...

2) Yes, of course it’s delayed a little. You MIGHT be able to get updates a few moments quicker if you sit and stare at a twitter feed resetting for 90 minutes but iFollow offers a bit then teletex score updates.

 

[Bluegoose]

I don't look at any of the almost real time twitter etc. game updates. Looking at the scoreboard clock against my PC's time it's about 2 min difference.

This is my second season of using iFollow and there has been some occasional issues during the nearly 50 games that I have watched.

However, it has given many overseas Blues fans the chance to view their beloved Southend "live". I would rather have this then having to rely on other social media outlets giving me text updates.

To all those non-overseas Blues who are considering using iFollow tonight my message is "sign up, use it and take the opportunity to see the Blues in different way. It's an alternative option that 2 seasons ago was not available. That must be at least one major plus point"
