It seems they make it up as they go. This is what they say:Any idea if the Boxing Day and the New Years game will be available as both not on a Saturday ?
Or vpnIt seems they make it up as they go. This is what they say:
The EFL has returned to the position it held prior to the pandemic when the live broadcast or streaming of any match in the UK (including Isle of Man, Channel Islands and the Republic of Ireland) was prohibited between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on Saturday afternoons (Article 48).
But, this is what they publish:

So, the answer is, no.
I suppose the Boxing Day game will be Portsmouth’s choice.
It’s probably not a financially good move for a club to allow iFollow access if they don’t have too. But would be useful if they do
I don’t agree....Problem with ifollow is its £10 to watch the match and you can invite as many people as you want round to watch it in your house so is a real loss in bums on seat and match day revenue, I'm not sure how much of the £10 goes to the home club and does it even get split between both clubs? I can see why it's only allowed for international viewers for most games.

The only reason you would spend £10 to watch I follow live games is if you were unable to attend a match, especially our level, if you could go to the match, you would, I don’t think there will be too many large groups of OUFC fans manipulating ifollow and watching on TV rather than going to the game.
We have 3 season tickets up in Lincoln however there are lots of games we can not attend so the club actually gets more money from supporters like us as all midweek games are watched and paid for in I follow....
There is no difference in paying £70 plus quid a month for sky sports to watch premiership and championship teams play every night, arm chair football fans on the whole never attend matches in the flesh...
It’s not hardcore to turn up at your home ground and support your team!Maybe a poll needs to be added to this thread to see how many would rather pay £10 per family to watch in the comfort of their home or would rather pay £20 + each and go to the breeze block on a cold winters day? I guess the only way we would find out for sure is if ifollow did a trial on a Saturday game. Obviously the hardcore fans will always attend but can't say the same for casuals.
IIRC something like the 1st 400 away fans £10 would go to the home club, and any away fan subscribers over that 400 would go to the away club. That’s how it worked last season.Problem with ifollow is its £10 to watch the match and you can invite as many people as you want round to watch it in your house so is a real loss in bums on seat and match day revenue, I'm not sure how much of the £10 goes to the home club and does it even get split between both clubs?

There was a thread on this subject a while back, which touches on this...I seem to recall hearing similar but not 400 specifically; instead a number agreed by the two clubs beforehand based on estimated attendance.
Memory may be playing tricks on me of course.
