He has said for years he doesn't want this unless the home club gets all of the money like with actual tickets.
So if Accrington play Derby, he wants to cash in on the Derby fans buying loads if iFollow passes rather than Derby getting the money?
Why? It's not like he's sat with an empty 30 thousand seater stadium.He's right in a way. It should be weighted towards the home club the same way how tickets are.
Can they not just stream their own games? I’m sure a few clubs already do. Birmingham definitely.
How does it then work with people's subscriptions.
I.E you are a Exeter fan with a season pass.
They have the smallest capacity in the league, it's not really Bolton's fault if they can't all fit in the away end.
I see, his problem is with allocation of the away fans payments. Im sure with Blues home fans have to go through their TV service, but away fans it’s just ifollow as normal.
It’s nonsense isn’t it it’s sour grapes. His argument is that teams with bigger fan bases have bigger markets to sell things to…?
Maybe we can ask Man Utd for a % of shirt sales?
Yeah, I don't get it.
They have the smallest ground in the League, Sunderland's home average was 6 times the size of Accrington's stadium. Of course they are going to get more subscriptions.
I assume he’s trying to argue the Sky money is distributed by league position and games shown and not by subscribers
That's a completely different situation.
But I think that’s his argument as in Man City fans are more likely to subscribe to sky sports as opposed to Bournemouth fans
They aren't subscribing to a specific team like with iFollow.
It's not that many years in the grand scheme of things that Man Utd in particular campaigned (and succeeded) in getting gate receipts distributution changed, so that the home team got just about all of the cash. That was the start of the gulf between the haves and the have-nots, and the start of a time when a Derby or Nottingham Forest were restricted in competing on a relatively level playing field.But I think that’s his argument as in Man City fans are more likely to subscribe to sky sports as opposed to Bournemouth fans
I had to contact them recently and they were much better compared to a couple of years ago.The bastards have charged me over summer! I emailed them to ask for a refund and the ifollow support team filed my request within 5 minutes. @Sick Boy - excellent customer service!
I don't think it's fair that the home team gets all the revenue from a game, as larger clubs with larger stadiums will make more money. They should get more, as they incur costs, but where's the incentive for a team to sell away tickets? I kn.ow some will say it gives the team support, but in reality it rarely makes a difference in away games.In the interests of competitive leagues, it'd probably be better to distribute revenue akin to a TV deal (within the specific leagues themselves, rather than the trickle down - or lack of!)
(because clubs like yours probably voted to keep home gate income)
Looks like the fans have had enough of him as well.Looks like he's kicking off again about the manager and having a tantrum saying the club is for sale.
To be fair he's right hereLooks like he's kicking off again about the manager and having a tantrum saying the club is for sale.
Charge Wrexham £100 a ticket and get Deadpool to pay for it
Accrington’s ‘proper football bloke’ owner at it again
