Post by: Jonathan on January 02, 2020, 02:31:14 pm: Quick question for anybody that uses iFollow. Am I able to purchase a match pass to watch the live video stream? The website advertises an audio pass for £2.50, but I want to watch the game. On Tuesday it’d be easier for me than getting back from Leeds in time for kick off.

Thanks

That’s always the preferred option, but midweek games can be tricky nowadays, so just sussing out if there’s an alternative next week.

Post by: graingrover on January 02, 2020, 02:47:53 pm: Jonathan I get all matches video live because I am abroad. The arrow to click for live video never comes up until an hour before the match ..( click to Watch or click to listen )
I have tried in vain to link my I pad to our smart TV but the I follow interface is not programmed to allow this probably to prevent avoid big screen viewing in pubs abroad.

Post by: Jonathan on January 02, 2020, 02:56:19 pm: Thanks again to all that have responded. I’ll definitely look into a match pass and streaming the video (probably just on mobile device) if I can’t make the game on Tuesday.
