I get your point Dave. But an option is Now TV to access sky which gives day, weekly and monthly options.
A weekly option can be good if it combines some good football fixtures with a cricket test match. You can choose a package on a week to week bases that suits your budget and what you want to watch.
Personally I can't be bothered with ifollow a terrible and amateurish service.
Just looked into that, they no longer do a week pass so your options are £12 for a day or £35 for a month. Added bonus that many devices, including bizzarly actual Now TV boxes, don't support red button and therefore won't give you access to all EFL games
I find the presentation on ifollow generally far better than the red button sky games. The single commenter, no replays etc coverage on Sky is pretty poor and the picture quality can be terrible. Think a lot of people are looking at the number of games in the Sky had and assuming they are all TV standard coverage which is very much not what is happening
Just seems so backwards and behind the times to me. All most people want is to be able to go and watch their team, preferably at 3pm on a Saturday, and have a reliable service to stream games when they can't make it. Nobody complains about the price of an ifollow stream as there is a perception a good chunk of the money goes to the club, if you read the details of the new deal on the EFL site there's a part that makes me wonder if clubs who do decent numbers on streaming will actually be worse off, 'EFL clubs as a collective will be significantly better', is an odd phrase to use if every club will be better off
Keeping the 3pm blackout is nonsense, their own justification for giving Sky more matches is that there is no evidence games being shown on TV or streamed impacts attendance, so what purpose is the blackout serving?
