A bit contradictory. The headline states every game, but in the story it says until 50% of fans are allowed into stadiums. If a vaccine is found, (which could be soon) all fans will be let in again. As I said in the other thread. Ifollow is increasing to £140, but if Sky have exclusivity, then Ifollow cannot stream the game live. The cheapest option for live coverage is a season ticket. Would more fans buy one under this deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would more fans buy one under this deal? Maybe the club could introduce a "streaming" ST for £220 to non concessionary adults (22 games at £10) who want to stream and then they pay an additional fee, maybe a fiver on the gate, if entry allowed as restrictions ease. Priority for entry will remain to those who have paid the full ST amount initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streaming by Sky, and later by Ifollow would cover away games as well. 21 hours ago, Dave_Og said: I think you're putting way to much faith in a vaccine being available very soon I really hope not, there are two which could be given the go ahead this year.

Am I the only one that is slightly concerned at vaccines that have been developed in less than 12 months? Britain have ordered 5 different kinds, are you mean to have them all?

Forced vaccination of areas where lockdown was reimposed first please, so we can do some mass testing for adverse effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Latics supporters will have the option to stream matches via iFollow whilst access to games is restricted. "Access to streams for Season ticket holders are by way of a season ticket holder who has purchased a seat in the stadium and is unable to attend the match for purpose of reduced attendances." "League One and Two are able to stream any match not shown live on Sky to fans who purchase individual match passes for £10." https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2020/august/26082020-ifollow-passes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy14 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sounds like a workable solution during Covid restrictions. Get something to watch on home games for my season tickets and can buy the game pass for away matches if required. This is likely to be in place for some time (well into 2021) whilst an effective vaccine is worked on and adequately tested. Anyone wanting to boycott watching their team due to their views on the guy who pays all the bills (usually) can do so, although paying for a game pass for home games will be sending money to the club to meet their running costs. This will help in keeping a lot of clubs afloat and less going the way of Bury. Let's hope it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It would be interesting if they could register viewing figures for games, I wonder if we've reached the point where we have so many exiles that it could count as our highest (sort of) attendance??

RobinsDuckEgg Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 EFL have informed me today that they've just taken €166 off my credit card for this season's ifollow video pass. A significant increase on last year. Coupled to this, us foreign residents won't be able to watch the Carabao Cup game this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be just £10 per game, if you click on subscribe on Latics web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
