Harrogate and Salford aren’t in iFollow

The setup still works the same but as their figures don’t go through iFollow they can’t get accurate figures

Away games attracted higher 'on the day' figures - because season ticket holders had to pay - regularly exceeding the 500 threshold for the club to receive additional cash:

Cheltenam would have been lower numbers as there were fans in the ground

The reason it was low was that people were watching games through illegal streaming devices loads at work were I wasn't happy but that's today's mentality!

Having used iFollow to follow Barrow in all their away games this season I hope it continues next season even if crowds are back,what’s not to like with excellent commentary from Adam ,I wouldn’t want to go to Exeter away but am happy to pay a tenner to watch the bluebirds in these times the less people moving around the country the better and it will bring in much needed revenue for clubs like ourselves so it makes sense as it won’t affect gate attendance that much and give an important revenue stream

The audio package (£4.49 pm) also includes any interview videos with new arrivals that the club posts so if you still want to be able to watch them I wouldn’t cancel that

Has anyone ever received one of these emails? I've not had one all season.

Which is what you’re paying £4.49pm for

I agree that IFollow has provided a great service whilst the crowds have not been in the grounds, but I think that clubs would rather have money though the gates, and the atmosphere generated by supporters being in the ground to watch.

I would also think that the club would also get home crowds in excess of the 1800 or so quoted for iFollow.

All you get extra for £4:49 is audio commentary on the game. All interviews (at least they have been so far) are available with the free basic pass. I really don’t see what you get for your £4:49 during the close season.

If I remember correctly, in a 'normal' season you are able to watch any game on iFollow except those that kick-off 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday. Something like that, anyway.
