Only a handful of fans will have Iplayer or Ifollow or whatever it's called and I reckon a large amount of those fans would be exiled supporters who wouldn't be going to the game anyway.

The only way a club might miss out is if the weather is crap and Joe Bloggs who has Iplayer looks out his window and thinks 'Feck it, I'll watch it on the laptop instead'

It's probably few and far between that'll happen as well.
