    Can't fault that for trying to keep fans informed as best they can.

    Tell you what we need step by step instructions how to use this code.I was trying to find somewhere in the iFollow app itself to type it in which you should be able to do if it was anything like fit for purpose.

    I never got an answer from the ifollow people.

    Not sure how they keep the business when their service is such a joke.

    I'd urge the club to use an in house platform after this season. It's quite a simple tech setup really in terms of delivery for a single club.

    It really isn't. Otherwise I'd agree. If you break the contract with the EFL, you lose the video platform, the website platform, allsorts. It would be a huge and expensive transition. It's why many clubs come back to the EFL central contract upon relegation, such as Norwich recently, or Hull for example.

    Never met him obviously but he made more spelling mistakes than hemmsy, used to monitor the BBS and then report back to the higher ups of anyone overly critical and was sacked after making comments about a referee which had the club n an fa or EFL charge

    Curious as to why having to create a new website that the club has total control over be so difficult at whenever point where the EFL contract is up for renewal? Especially when you consider the business interests of our ownership.

    As for a streaming platform there are loads of alternatives. Working in broadcasting and media, I see this and it doesn't mean having to have a huge team in place to manage it.

    If the current provider are paid for the service and also, I'm guessing take about 30 percent of subscription revenue on top, I'd like to bet that the costs would be similar for a far superior service.

    Why I’ve paid for ifollow for tomorrow, rather than give dodgy Dave the money for some stream
