Decent news for people who can't make the games, bad news as people who can make the games might choose this instead.

That article is all over the place. Headline says Football league then the article says Championship.

It also goes from talking about midweek matches to all matches not between 14:45 and 17:15 on a Saturday.

Talks about Sky streaming games but then says the streams will be on club websites if they aren't broadcast on Sky.

In an astounding turn of events, the Cov Telegraph have clarified what the BBC have fudged

EFL will be offering its clubs the opportunity to live-stream in the UK and Ireland any league match via their respective iFollow (or equivalent)service that takes place outside the blocked hours of 2.245pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons and that is not broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Basically iFollow can show live games any time that isn't either a Saturday 3pm game or when we're on Sky so it's Sunday games too theoretically which may apply around Christmas.

That was always the plan wasn't it? Sure they said that when iFollow first came in for those overseas.

I don't remember seeing that, I thought it was VPN forever for anyone willing to gamble.

Looking at our fixture list this season I make it 12 league games that would be viewable under this. Does iFollow have a day pass kind of thing or is it subscriptions only?

You can buy it for about £6 (I think).

Sky's pursuit of making football spectating for domestic fans being through a television only.

You'll have empty lower league grounds with fans of lower league clubs encouraged to pay inflated Sky subscriptions to watch their team, all so that Sky can throw even more on top of the billions already at 20 Premier League teams, further widening the gap between the haves and have nots.

Our owners have taken us from 19k to 7k. Sky's the least of our problems

This is terrible really. Imagine if tonight's game was streamed, the crowd would have been 1000 down.
