Has anyone seen the deal EFL has stuck with Sky Sports for every EFL game to be streamed live for this season? £10 a game.
What does that mean for ifollow?

Ifollow will stream all the games under their agreement. The reported deal with Sky Sports will allow this, it is not a deal for Sky Sports to do this.Has anyone seen the deal EFL has stuck with Sky Sports for every EFL game to be streamed live for this season? £10 a game.

Ifollow is shite anyway. Better quality on dodgy streams.
Ifollow uses Sky infrastructure to relay the game back to its servers anywayI would guess ifollow would use the sky sport stream.
The fact EFL have put little to no info out about ifollow but have everyone on auto renew is a bit cheeky
I could see it as a red button add-on maybe. That way Sky don't lose out on the viewership and advertising money. I can't imagine Sky would take clubs showing every single game on their own sites, making money from it, without getting anything in return and not putting up a fight to get some sort of value.I've just been on chat with Sky - haven't had sports for years. The guy said if I subscribe to a Sky Sports package I will be able to watch all championship games. Nothing about paying an extra £10. I've taken a copy of the chat but is that others' understanding?

edit: relevant?
“Season-ticket holders will get access to their side's home matches free of charge and more casual fans will be able to watch every game — including Saturday 3pm kick-offs for the first time — for a fee of around £10.”
Plus you get access to all the other games that way also, I'm just gona wait until the announcement to add sky onto my TV.I did read the article but I'm not a season ticket holder - I live miles from Cov. I interpreted the article as saying you could pay £10 per game if you don't have sports. The point I'm making is that I think you can just buy sports for £30 per month - so you get one game per month for free compared to the £10 per game option.
Maybe the quoteI did read the article but I'm not a season ticket holder - I live miles from Cov.
It’s been known for ages that ifollow in the U.K. required Sky’s agreement as the rights holder. The packages quoted sound more like ifollow, pay for a season or £10 a ganeThe EFL have reached a ground-breaking deal with Sky Sports that will enable clubs in all three divisions to stream every match next season live on their websites.

They would probaly use I follow camera men, I watched a few champ games last season on I follow and the quality was 10x better than ours.It also says every game in every division. Sky wouldn’t have the capacity for that would they? Producing a HD TV feed to an acceptable broadcast standard is very different to what we get on ifollow. Are there even enough crews and OB units for this to be possible?
Not necessarily, I would agree if we were still in league 1 but championship = more money if there splitting the 119m it will mostly be between the championship teams.A lot of people on here are forgetting that apart from midweek games ifollow is only supposed to go out to subscribers abroad. That said, where possible I would still encourage people to use ifollow instead of Sky to access our games, as I'm sure more money will go to our club that way.
It means ifollow are fucked as their coverage is pantsHas anyone seen the deal EFL has stuck with Sky Sports for every EFL game to be streamed live for this season? £10 a game.

Good point actually, it does say stream every game....iFollow. But the membership / season ticket said iFollow access to all games played BCD didn’t it?That article doesn’t say Sky are streaming all games does it? It says they will allow clubs to stream games, including the games they show live on TV while playing BCD.

That's pretty much how I interpreted the mail article. Although from what the club said about season tickets you'll only get the home games included and will have to pay for away, fair enough really.Not sure how accurate this is:
I watch ifollow in Saudi Arabia and I find the commentary from Clive and Oggy very good. The fact that I can be in my home in Riyadh and watch our games is just fantastic.It means ifollow are fucked as their coverage is pants
And a shirt?The iFollow sub comes with the membership, I think it’s £210 without the ST part which is an extra £50. But I could well be wrong.
