    It is reasonable to push for a refund, but I never had any luck doing that when the system was unusable for many games last year, due their own faulty & over-zealous abuse detection systems. The only way really is to stop subscribing and find alternatives, as grim as that is.

    Lampard to West Ham

    Yes, this is what Doug was angling for ever since he came in and began to recruit senior executives and subject matter experts that reported to him, which likely made Robins pretty uncomfortable. This is a more stable structure and does mean that if Lampard went although would be disruptive in...

    I believe the club have limited control over the system and will just shrug because it's not something they control. The contact I had at the club who also had some choice iFollow feedback has gone silent, I think because there is nothing they feel they can do about it.

    You misunderstand - I was not blocked because the game was being shown in my country, I was blocked because I had used "too many devices" despite the fact that you can only ever stream on one. Essentially this is an anti-abuse system that's gone wrong. That's how it started and it ended with...

    I'm abroad so UK IP address doesn't apply to me. I've used it for about 6 years, this is the first season I haven't. I can put up with the crap with rewind not working, no airplay, no proper full screen etc - but when they start actively blocking me for genuine usage it just isn't worth the...

    For me I've been locked out of watching games which they say is "due to using too many devices" but the system only lets you stream on a single device. In prior seasons, it would simply tell you this when you tried to open a stream. Many times I need to move rooms or devices during the game...

    I've stopped subscribing to iFollow this year, first time in probably 5 or more years since I left the UK. The service has gotten worse every year, not better. I've written to them and they say they're aware of issues but no commitment to fix. I've also written to the club who are also aware but...

    Sheaf to Wrexham

    Yep - great point. He was so pivotal to us before Grimes came that he likely played far beyond his physical capability. That's a credit to him.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I think our squad size is 23 right now - I don't anticipate we'll end the day like that, but that would make it the 2nd smallest squad in the division. So we undoubtedly have a very small squad now. I'm not a bedwetter, but given we normally pick up a handful of crucial injuries every season...

    Sheaf to Wrexham

    Agree and a really incredible signing for any team in the division who needs him. Right now with Grimes, he's something of a luxury for us - and unfortunately we need to deploy that money in other areas.

    Sheaf to Wrexham

    I don't think Vik is fully fit, nor are the team playing to his strengths at this point. There was a painful opportunity in the first half where Vik was holding his run and Martinelli completely ignored it. Exactly the sort of chance he converts. I don't watch much Premiership football and I'm...

    Sheaf to Wrexham

    Watching Arsenal yesterday struggle to do anything vs Liverpool it very much felt like watching Cov at our worst over the last few seasons. We lapse into that tick tock, safe play against a team sitting deep and it becomes so easy to play against.

    Sheaf to Wrexham

    Sheaf's form has definitely dropped really since that cup run. I felt that summer was the time to sell him - with 2 years left on his deal and a lot of really positive performances and exposure. At that point though it felt really regrettable and disruptive but fitted the model we needed to...

    Ellis simms

    Do you think the academies he’s passed through didn’t see that? I think at this point there’s a limited amount you can do to improve something that’s innate really. You can adapt your own tactics and his a bit to counter it, maybe - but he’s got a foot like a sledgehammer. Simms is a real...

    Stadium update

    You might be right there, do you know how long of a period they had to pay for? I wonder if that was included in that 13m figure in terms of what Frasers needed to pay in costs just to bring everything up to standard. If it's even more in addition to that 31m of costs (18m acquisition + 13m...

    Stadium update

    I think logically listening to some of the statements from Doug and the facts from the original acquisition by Fraser's group - 35-45M would make sense. It cost Frasers 18M to buy with improvements of 13M minimum needed - so that's 31M of "costs" to Frasers. Doug bid 25M knowing that he'd need...

    Stadium update

    I’d expect this cost somewhere around 25-30mil but total guess. Frasers bought it for 18mil including transaction costs. I guess we’ll find out when the respective accounts are published.

    Embarrassing

    I guess my fear is that by voters not understanding the motivations behind people voting for Reform (or any party) makes the debate more polarised and ensures their success.

    Embarrassing

    I'm saying that labelling someone who votes for Reform as far right because some of their policies are is probably an own goal. For the record, I'm not a reform voter, or even a conservative. I just think we've seen the results of this type of debating over and over again now - it's hubristic...
