I assume that the club has had to pay Sky for this privilege, if so well done.
Also, will iFollow use the Sky camera feed, much better quality and different angles.
What's it worth to the club, money wise?
I would doubt that the club has paid anything to Sky, this will have been done as a favour to the club/EFL.
As to the camera feed, no chance that Sky will feed into iFollow. On a purely technical side, I wouldn't have thought that the iFollow systems would be compatible and why would Sky give up their advantage over a single camera set up? They want you to buy their feed not give it away for nothing.
For hosting a televised game OUFC will be paid £30,000 (as far as I can determine from a few minutes scouring the web!) Lincoln will get £10,000.
That equates to a lot more than could be earned from iFollow. - Still peanuts compared to what the Premiership get and a lot less than a Championship side get paid. That's an argument for another thread and would question the intelligence and negotiating skills of the EFL, not to mention the naivety of some of the EFL clubs in agreeing the deal in the first place.
