Can they register, and if so, presumably they can read all the articles etc?

If registered, can they also watch the extended highlights?

I believe they can't stream matches live or hear commentary?

I'm not an expert Jim, but we have numerous fans who watch the games overseas, even one in Belize. It also depends on the strength of the signal. However, anyone can register on the Barrow official site and they will be able to see the news and other articles. Not sure about the highlights but i'm sure someone else can assist.

I'm sure @mickmike wilson or @LDBF would be willing to advise, Jim.

iFollow was specifically to cater for overseas supporters and anybody outside of the UK can register. The only reason we can now use it in the UK is because of covid and, sadly for us Southern based followers, once or if we ever get back to normal we will lose the option.

Once or if we get back to normal people in the UK will still be able to watch midweek games on iFollow as they could before Covid

That is how I understand it. It's only Saturday, 3:00 p.m. kick-offs and televised games we shan't be able to see.

It’s super easy Jim even for a techy challenged oik as myself, Live streaming, Interviews, Highlights etc Heck I just watched our last 2 games traveling in a car & it streamed great.

Thanks Mickmike, I will PM you.

Thanks. I didn't realise that so that's good news for me.

Super easy for us overseas to watch all Barrow games home and away, I pay 20 pounds a month - get all the iFollow package. Some games at the start of the season were a bit difficult with no picture, but had the BBC RC commentary no problem, maybe a bit time-delayed as I got the ping from FlashScore that something had happened before it did(now turn off FlaskScore during the game)

Sadly no BBCRC commentary Tomorrow via iFollow as I’m commentating via an iFollow feed in the newsroom in Carlisle due to BBC rules on Covid

A high so far of 698 away to Carlisle and an understandable low of 163 at home to Cheltenham

Presumably, we'll have the iFollow Bolton home commentary, will we?

I wonder why Salford’s figures are so low?

Wonder if season ticket holders get home and away games included?
