Are you going to be outside the UK?

No. Snowdonia.

That sucks! I doubt I'd be able to get BBC Essex frequency and they don't stream via the internet... Boo!

Anybody know why this is the case. Seems silly that you can only listen on FM in this day and age.

This is why I asked SSD if he would be outside the UK. You can get it on 765kHz Medium Wave in the UK. Reception a little blurry, but better than nothing.

I asked Glenn Speller once and it's because they would have to buy additional rights to stream it online.

Anybody know if Walsall will be available on ifollow to purchase a match day pass?

Currently the official site is showing 'buy a monthly pass' only. When that happens normally it's because there is a full league program and therefore Sky have dibs on it all, same for Easter Monday I would think.

Ah ok thanks RHB.

First time in ages I have been able to use iFollow. It is unwatchable. Freezes every 10 seconds. Won't bother with it next season.

Question: if I’m currently abroad and want to watch the game tomorrow, but I’ve watched ifollow in the UK on my account this season, will it recognise I’m in a foreign country and allow me to watch, or will it block me if it thinks I’m in the UK?

Not sure, I had the same issue earlier this season, when I was in Prague, although I was using my phone rather than my lap top. I contacted the help desk and they said I was showing as in the uk, so I had to use the hotel WiFi.

This wasn’t strong enough so I couldn’t watch. Thankfully it was the Blackpool home game.

I was in Barbados in a rented apartment - these idiots at iFollow allowed me to buy the match pass to watch but not actually watch because I was an UK account- claimed a UK account could watch even if connecting abroad

Can only assume they use 1990s technology that can’t link payment and service, EFL apparently found iFollow from the same source they use to find referees...

I complained- as you would expect they ignores the email twice

......yes it was getting better early season but now you have not got a clue if it's in the net until they peel off and celebrate....needs drastically improving next year!

Sums up most things done by the league tbh, thanks for the response, you may just save me a tenner!

Not had a problem with streaming at all for a long time. A lot depends on the broadband.

Reception was awful today.Presumably because of problems at the Dale.BBC Essex is of course working perfectly now.
