Are there any figures on how many sky blues watch our games on iFollow? How many do you reckon watch? Would be interested to know what our virtual attendance is for our games. 10K+?
I pay my tenner for every game.
Bargain really
Yes, this is something I have been wondering, and how it compares with other teamsAre there any figures on how many sky blues watch our games on iFollow? How many do you reckon watch? Would be interested to know what our virtual attendance is for our games. 10K+?

My partner is a cardiff city season ticket holder and thus I’ve been ‘treated’ to their ifollow coverage. It makes ours look like it was directed by Stanley Kubrick and commentated on by Peter Ustinov and Laurence Olivier (if that works). It’s truly dreadful. And then there’s the football...aye caramba!The coverage is improving although they still stay on some daft shots whilst we are all left wondering what’s going on in the game
Same as, like you say cost of an away game petrol, parking, food, beers, ticket got to be %) quid for a cheap one.If you were travelling every week this saves a fortune, I have paid to watch all that have not been on sky and have my season ticket for the home games.
I think it is that we get any revenue on subscriptions over the usual away capacity for that ground.I think I read somewhere that a club only gets revenue from iFollow for away matches if over a certain number subscribed from that club.
Ditto. It's been a godsend to me. If the UEFA rules allow it, I'd love to see it stay post COVID as it could gain revenue for clubs in certain circumstances. As as example - Bournemouth play at Middlesbrough midweek, dunno maybe a 100 fans travel? Have it on ifollow and available to Bournemouth season ticket holders only and the revenue could become 20 or 30 thousand shared between the clubs. I'm an IT retard so apologies in advance if I've missed something basic.I'd probably have gone to 10-12 games this season, Mostly Northern Away games and maybe 2-3 home games. But thanks to iFollow I've been able to watch all the league games bar Forest and Bournemouth. Must be getting on for £200 worth of iFollow passes.
They need to put some thought into continuing once fans are back in. There's plenty of people who can't get to games in person who would happily pay so not doing it is just lost revenue. The cost of making it available domestically must be minimal given they're already producing the feed for overseas viewers.
Not sure I buy the argument that huge numbers of people will stay at home instead of going to games, at least not once people are confident its safe to go out. Its nothing like the same experiance.
Likewise living south coast its great watching city every week and hope this digitalI’ve watched City more this season than I have since I moved away from Cov 25 years ago. It’s also the first time I’ve ever had a season ticket.
More than happy to keep paying my tenner for away games.
Yeah looks like it as part of the cracking down on streams.Has Oggy Oi been destroyed?
Yes you'll always have a hard core who will go. It would be interesting to trial it for a season as I know 4 relatives/households who haven't been for years but pay to watch ifollow. There's also people who listen to every game free on the radio who can now stump up to see it as well.They need to put some thought into continuing once fans are back in.

Who cares?Has Oggy Oi been destroyed?
I noticed the club replied on twitter with some figures today. Interesting stuff. 3,400 for the game against Brum and 2,000 for home games and these don't include season ticket holders or international pass holders.
I remember a figure of £7.50 after fees and VAT being quoted meaning we picked up £25,500 for the Blues game. I wonder how that would compare for normal income for a midweek home game. I know Blues was away but we would normally make 0 on them anyway so a bonus already.
