Does this 2600 figure include season ticket holders that got codes to access it? If it does, we've only made a fraction of the revenue that POTD home sales would normally generate. I am sure I read that 1200 season-ticket holders used their access code for the Ipswich home game, so I would imagine a similar number for the Northampton match. Tom Gorringe would be the best person to ask for a breakdown of the viewing figures. I can't recall seeing that figure quoted before?

I wonder if the figures include the overseas viewers who pay for the whole season? There were also quite a few UK fans who signed up in previous seasons with VPN’s. I guess many are still doing the same this year because it’s significantly cheaper than paying per game.

If you can afford, make watching gas games on ifollow a habit. It’s a new habit but fun. If you can watch on laptop and comment on gaschat. Try it - it’s a great way to watch the gas.

Suspect a lot of those older fans are currently watching with family etc. I think an average of three watching per pass is probably about right.

This is where the club will miss out as 5 of us would definitely been there but instead we all got to watch it for a tenner.

I've been working in Mallorca (Majorca) for over 10 years now and the introduction of iFollow a few years ago was a Godsend. The first season had a few buffering issues and no commentary, but back then you could watch and then try and sync up the radio commentary if you really wanted it as you could access both on the same pc. Also no onscreen graphics then either. The following season the buffering issues seemed to disappear somewhat, and commentary was introduced via the brilliant job the team at BBC Radio Bristol do. They introduced onscreen graphics for the scores, times, etc. Basic stuff. The season after, virtually no buffering issues, good onscreen graphics, replays introduced. Now it's a great service BUT why have 10 minutes of the same 4 adverts over and over and over and over and over, TWICE!!!? First world problems, eh? In all seriousness, I love iFollow and I'm glad my hard-earned goes towards the club I will always love. #UTG #ONCEAPIRATE

First time I have purchased it for this evening’s game and after hearing some fans on here saying about issues they have had with it I was abit nervous but everything for me was great tonight and using my apple TV to mirror my phone onto my TV the picture quality while not 4K was still very good and I will deffo be using it again.

This is where the club will miss out as 5 of us would definitely been there but instead we all got to watch it for a tenner. I have a genuine question and would be really interested to hear anybody's comments: Given that a match pass costs £10 but, under COVID restrictions, up to 6 people could watch on the same TV how many of you would consider paying more to watch where there are more people in the room. For instance let's say £5 per person per game. In BridgewaterGas's example it would cost him/them £35 ie £10 x 1, plus £5 x 5 It has always struck me that iFollow streaming is an extremely cheap way of watching the game when you compare the alternative costs of physically going to the game and BWG is right - The club are losing a significant income stream under the current iFollow regime. So, in answer to my question - how many of you would actually pay more to watch.

So, in answer to my question - how many of you would actually pay more to watch. Personally I would pay £20 to watch a game as there are 3 of us that always watch the game. My son is U11 and only pays £1 a game for his season ticket so dosent really count as much of a loss. £10 seems ridiculously cheap but then I don't travel to many away games I target about 5 a season but now get to see them all so the club get revenue from away games as well which they don't usually get. The club are in a no win situation as alot would not pay £20 every game so numbers would fall dramatically.

Normally get back to the Mem half a dozen times a year .... yes, that's me with my walk on walking through the West enclosure having just arrived from Bristol airport. But iFollow is a great second choice and at €24 a month great value. Leaving £'s to donate to North Bristol Foodbank etc.
