    Full length advert for Virgin Media this morning before Hecky’s interview. I was under the impression that I paid for this service. It’s not as if the skip option works. I’m cancelling if this continues.

    Hate stuff like this.

    It’s like Sky Box Office for the boxing. You pay £16 PPV & you can’t even see the boxers in the corners between rounds as they keep going to adverts

    Ad block.

    Can’t believe anyone running a machine with online capability hasn’t installed it. It takes less than a minute and kills every advert.

    Not very smart to be advocating the use of AdBlock on the website of the company you work for

    That's a presumptuous response if ever I've seen one.

    Didn't know about it. I'll give it a try, thanks.

    I refuse to subscribe to iFollow to find out things that used to be available for free. I know I'm probably missing out on stuff, but as a consequence, I'm loosing interest in my club. Add to that to the poor home matchday experience and performances through 2017. Next years ST renewal isn't going to be a given.

    There’s nothing changed in terms of ‘free’ or not.

    And from 2018 it’s our plan to ramp up the amount of content on there moving forward.

    Give it a go, mate. You’ll see shortly why it’s worth a quid a week.

    Cheers.

    I do agree with a lot of this

    But do you honestly
    Think fans should have to pay to listen to pre and post match interviews

    I know you get more than this but still

    It’s a sad state of affairs when you have to
    Pay for interviews

    I get the extended highlights and match replays

    Just had an apology from the app’s admin and telling me the ad will be removed for all users. Let’s hope so.

    The interviews aren’t behind a pay wall. Pre and post match interviews are free. The only interviews behind the pay wall are exclusive ones, such as new player signings, stuff like that.

    Extended highlights, full matches, and other bits and bobs depending what it is, they’re subscription only. There’s no point subscribing if everything on it is free to watch.

    Stay tuned. We’ve got plans for it after the new year.
