it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere. Don't know.


Can't make it tomorrow night due to work, put playing five a side 7-8 at Stags so was hoping to pop in there after. If not, I'll just pay for it and watch the last hour or so at home.

Probably down to rights restrictions from iFollow? Just like you can't stream Netflix movies to a a public audience

Just a question and sorry if it's been asked and answered already but I'm already a standard iFollow suscriber but when I follow the link to buy a match pass it asks me to register. Is this a separate registration to my normal iFollow registration, i.e. just for the live match pass?

Cheers, Nick

That's not to say you can't just go in there and stream it on your own laptop which is what I'm probably going to do

I read somewhere that Accrington refuse to do ifollow because the club would actually lose money.

Does anybody (Martin?) know if the club makes money from ifollow?

an alternative email to what? I don't understand your question.

If you already have an iFollow account, just put your email and password in. You would not need to create a new account.

I cannot explain why it would not accept your email address if it is a valid email address, sorry.

No, you do not need to pay anything other than £10.

I'll be "beaming" it to the TV using a tablet. If it's a modern TV it's easily done via Smart Share. I think that iPhones can't do it, but any Android device should work.

Use smart share or just cast it via a web browser onto any decent smart TV and you'll be fine.

This might be a silly question...
But can Tranmere fans who are ifollow subscribers also stream this match or is it only available to the away team?

It is available to fans of both clubs, in fact to anyone in the UK. They would just need to create an iFollow account if they don't have one, on Tranmere's iFollow or Mansfield's iFollow.

So the same will apply to Mansfield midweek home games - they can be watched by Mansfield fans for £10.

This will have a negative impact on attendances and the revenue gained from ifollow will need to be split among the club(s) and third party companies who are involved in the production. Some lower league games may only gain a few hundred subscribers generating a few thousand quid or so. Surely these costs will be swallowed entirely in production costs?
It might work for high profile games at packed stadiums but I have my doubts lower down the pyramid given the number of opportunities for these games within a season.
Someone must have costed this though and thought it was a good idea in the long term?

Anyone else having problems with the link to purchase the Match Pass? I click the link and it just takes me to my 'details' screen where I can change bank card details etc (when I do it on laptop) and to a screen to sign up when I do it on my iphone (but I'm already logged in to ifollow?)
