Snuck into a wordy but enjoyable article about iFollow is the news that video of games will be streamed inside the UK not just abroad.

Whilst, thankfully, Saturday 3pm games will not be I think this will be pretty terrible for attendances, atmosphere and therefore enjoyment of live football.

I'll still be extending my subscription to the service!
 
Yep, all midweek (including bank holiday I believe) games that aren’t shown on Sky. This was announced a while ago actually, it’s only now we’ve decided to mention it ourselves. I barely used it last year, so won’t renew, I’ll just buy match passes to midweek away games.

How much is a match pass ?
 
That’s pretty decent. Will that just be league games or any Oufc game not on a sat 3pm
So checkawank trophy games, league cup, fa cup ?

All cup too, I think. I’m almost certain you could pay to watch Checkawateva games live last season for about £5. Not at the beginning, it was introduced after the group stages if I remember rightly.
 
What was full subscription. I struggle to get to midweek away games so would Definitely be interested if they start showing live games in uk
 
I believe so.

Was it £5 for streaming video? I expect it will be more...

Really? I don’t. You can buy a Sky Sports day pass for £7, so there’s no way they can expect to charge that much for streaming video without commentary.
 
Sky should put sound on for the games, or allow you to be able to listen to Radio Oxford at the same ime for the commentary.
 
watched the last home game last season whilst abroad - was £5, fantastic picture quality - with the exception of sound, the crowd noise was few seconds ahead of the picture so had to put on mute and enjoy another cold beer ;)
 
Do we know if it will be available on the phone apps?
Frustratingly I actually make more Tuesday night games than I do Saturday games!
 
I make it 5 league home games , 3 away games and 1 Home cup game so far.

Plus any other league cup and checkawank games will be midweek. And most of the Ireland games are midweek and a few of the ones when we’re back
I doubt the Ireland games, or many of other friendlies, will be available for video streaming.
 
The Leeds friendly last year was available to view on ifollow I believe.
League Cup games weren't included last year, I didn't they were to be on this year either?? Thought it was just Checkatrade cup
 
If anyone is considering buying the season pass and using a VPN to watch the games, Ifollow eventually got round to stopping access about 5 games before the end of the season. Unless you are really tech savvy and know what you are doing then I'd give it a miss.
 
Yep, think it was second to last away game before the season finished they blocked both my accounts. I'm surpised they did, as I thought they wouldn't care as long as they were making money.

Its outrageous that they're charging UK fans £10 - £14 for a match pass when it was 6 euros for abroad fans (£5.31)
One of the many advantages of living in Europe. ,?

A match pass for roughly the same price as a whole week of Sky Sports. Yeah, no thanks. What a rip-off.
