Tuesday night

[IDM]

Why is a home game on i follow.

That is crazy. It shouldn’t be allowed.
Of course there are some who would rather sit in their arm chairs to watch.
Personally I would never do that for a home match.
As a season ticket holder why would you not go, especially as we are playing brilliant winning football.
I can’t understand that personally, you’ve paid so go, why bother buying a season ticket. 

Don’t forget that our away games are home fixtures for our opponents, so by your logic there would be no games available on ifollow at all.  If you try and limit ifollow access to away fans, all you need to do is register on the away club’s site to view.

All be on sky next year anyway with the new TV deal.

[Spud]

Missing this due to work, gutted....

its being streamed on EFL player

Yeah, I've seen, cheers.
Not the same as being there though, plus I'll probably fall asleep after an early start lol, I don't mind doing so if I've paid £2.50 for the audio but not after parting with a tenner.

Will iFollow still have coverage?
I’m guessing the answer is no.

Have I missed something?

Not wanting to put a dampner on this but we know what usually happens when we get a big home crowd, in recent years

It always seemed to happen Raven, not just in the recent years.

Wrexham stayed in the Mount Pleasent last night. Surprised me but I guess when money is no object!

Not sure why it wouldn't be

[Spud]

You can still buy a video match pass so I can't see why it wouldn't be available still ?

Depends what you choose to remember. We've had plenty of big wins in front of our home fans but maybe, it's the perpetual desire to feel hard done by, why we choose to remember the pain rather than the joy.

Quite a big change.

[CaptainStock]

This is my first time going since January (Harrogate A and Newport H) I'm hoping my bad luck turns around!

[drfc1951]

I suppose we will have to subscribe to sky sports to watch then

Thanks, I’d not seen that. Massive shake up and probably means we’ll be on TV a dozen times.

“ From the 2024/25 season onward, this new deal with Sky Sports will effectively replace the EFL’s domestic video streaming option provided via iFollow and Club streaming services”

I reckon with international breaks, bank holidays and Tuesday night games UK exiles get about a dozen games through ifollow so not much change there for for me as a Sky subscriber (other than saving £10 a game), but wonder how it will impact overseas exiles? Will also be a lot more expensive for non-Sky subscribers.

230 L2 games on Sky next season? Thats a lot. Nearly half infact. What will happen to the 3pm kick offs.

[Dougiebulletheader]

On holiday in Lake District...bad timing. But ifollow thing when purchased can I cast it onto a smart TV...

I think there will be a lot more Tuesday and Wednesday night games and this where the majority of the live games will be shown

[colincramb]

Only about a 1000 or so tickets available now in the home ends. You’d expect another couple of hundred to go between now and KO so not far off a home sellout

[Nudga]

172 left in the south stand in only two blocks s14 and s21

875 left in total

I read up on this recently. Essentially 5 Saturday games across leagues 1&2 each weekend will be 1230 kick offs to avoid the blackout. So we're bound to get more games moved.  It's not so great for match going fans really.  Can really see the midweek games being affected crowd wise.

Usually esp if Telly you cast to is Smart

I used to use HDMI Lead from Laptop to Telly though if you happen to have one. If not nip into a suitable (i.e. cheap) Shop and get one

Our average home gate (excluding away fans) is around 5800. Midweek it is usually lower than that. I’d be very surprised if tomorrow’s home gate is 50% more than what it usually is, even with our form and it being Wrexham.

I’d love to be wrong but I’d be very surprised if there are more than 6k home fans there tomorrow night.

I'll retract this prediction. Looks like over 8k home tickets sold (though that will include STH's so they may not all attend). The Wrexham factor and our form must have had more of an effect than I thought.

Not sure how many are coming from Wrexham. They were allocated the best part of 3000.

GM also asked for the fans to turn out so that's another factor.

It’s going to be close to a sell out of the areas available. Don’t know what they will bring but I would expect it’s north of 2k, so around 10.5k in total would be my guess

[DonnyBiz]

Just reading their messageboard. Someone on there reckons they only have one block left to sell so according to them that equates to approximately 2500 coming.

[roversdude]

I’m away so it’s iFollow for me would much rather be there in person

[BillyStubbsTears]

And on that note, there's only 1,694 home tickets left.

658 left in south stand.

So we are circa 15,000 capacity. 2,400 gone to Wrexham leaving 12,600 and you say there are only 1700 hone tickets left? So roughly 11,000 gone?

Really?

Hand on heart I genuinly hope so but not so sure. Where do these numbers come from?

Away holds roughly 4k, then segregation but not sure what that is.

Just had a quick look, not counted exact No but seems to be in the region of what you said.

Thats great news!

COYR!!!!

I think we're on about 8k to 8.5k home tickets sold so far.

Around 5000 of those will be ST holders. Some of them won't be attending for different reasons, including the streaming of the game on iFollow.

I'm one.

Out of the country today and will be streaming online.

[Spud]

Looks like commentary on radio Sheffield too.

[drfc1951]

My last train home to Brid leaves at 21-15 so i stream all night matches.
