Season. While Lincoln claim to have made a “six figure sum” from iFollow this season. Anyone got any ITFC figures? |  |

A 6 figure sum? I'd be amazed if that's true. |  |

You'd assume we must be one of the big hitters in the league for it, all spare income goes to the club you purchase it from - so small clubs do lose out on this as no revenue sharing |  |

Maybe they just forgot to say that included a decimal point? |  |

Depends on the fan base I suppose.
Surely that includes the season passes that have been purchased abroad?
We have a large following so can imagine we get a few tenners in per game that’s available and a fair few fans abroad. |  |

Is there anything stopping pubs purchasing Ifollow and showing the match? Has this happened before? I think a few years back pubs in Norwich would show illegal foreign 3pm kick off streams |  |

It’s definitely illegal but could be done on the hush hush.

A "six figure sum" is achievable, if you model it. For a start, I wouldn't be surprised if *we* had 2,500 people (in the UK and abroad) paying £40 a season, which is what it costs on average - that's £100,000 straight away. Plus there are the match passes to watch the game on top of that. Personally, I've never bothered, but there does seem to a few who do - especially those overseas... If a couple of thousand of those are bought (which might be possible across 46 games?) at £10 a pop, thats another £20,000.
That said, of course, this is all gross income. there will be technology costs, presumably the provider of the iFollow service etc. Unless their costs are covered by sponsorship/advertising of some other method? |  |

I'd imagine that itfc easily sell 10k match passes over the course of a season. That's £100k gross already. |  |

I've paid to watch a fair few games season already on it.
I'd imagine it's fairly popular in all honesty, maybe the club would give us an idea of it's popularity and whether they deem it helpful or not? |  | | |

Accrington owner mentioned costs of just 450 quid which suggests they’re paying someone 30 quid a game to be the cameraman! | |

It's actually only a tenner in the UK. It's €6 a game from Spain - though every game, unless broadcast on Sky, is available for purchase from outside the UK (including 3 o'clock K.Os).
Think a half season ticket is only around €65 or something at the moment which makes it very affordable |  | | |

My guess is that there is probably something in the contract preventing it. For example, in the US, a bar cannot merely just purchase the NFL games package like they were a home user (Home users are $299 per season). They have to pay based on the capacity of the bar, and it's usually very expensive. My boss is opening up a bar soon, and he was quoted something like $2500 for about 100 capacity for the season (minus the hardware to make it happen). |  | | |

Not a problem cos they made a fat wedge out of flogging us Donacian and Jackson. And I noticed they've extended their away terrace probably off the back of mugging us off. | | | |

I've been buying every game on streaming and subscribe annually as well.
Not expensive and not a great product.
If it's a decent revenue share with the provider then I'm all for it. [Post edited 21 Jan 2020 9:17]

I'd be surprised if it were that many - that would mean around 220 match passes per match, as average. That seems high to me.
That said, I've never ever bought one and yet there seems to be lots of people on here who do - so what do I know?? | |

Actually think the product is OK, considering. The camera work is a bit dodgy sometimes and it's not a high definition stream but I think that's more down to how they are filmed rather than the tech itself.
I've never had it cut out of need to buffer constantly like some other live services (looking at you ITV). |  |
