As there seems to be a lot of negativity about Ifollow on here, which may put off prospective customers, I feel it only right to give the other side of the story.
Obviously I am touching wood as I type this as I don't want to tempt fate before Tuesday's match.
I have watched every match this season except for the trophy games and have had no problems whatsoever. The matches run about 30 seconds behind time so it is best to avoid any websites or tv programs showing live scores, but other than that I have only once had it drop connection (I think this was the Preston game which I am not even sure was on Ifollow), but I was able to reconnect immediately.
I am using a PC on Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge as that is the only browser I have, and am on basic Virgin broadband (100 Mb). The only advantage I potentially have over others is that those using a laptop, or the app on a phone or tablet, are relying on a wifi connection, whereas my PC is hard wired into the modem.
Prior to this season I have also used Ifollow to listen to commentaries of matches I am unable to attend, often through the app on my phone while travelling in the car, and other than it dropping connection in poor signal areas have had no complaints.

We also get revenue from the away games after the first 500 MTFC sales which look quite healthy.
If visitors sales for matches at One Call are similar to our away sales, it looks like you can add the full 500 for most of our home matches.

The game was broadcast live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website, for which the Stags received £12,500. This is incidentally less money than the Stags received from showing the Round One game at Sunderland on iFollow Stags by my back-of-an-envelope calculation: the number of match passes sold for that Sunderland game was 3300 by Sunderland and 1035 by Mansfield. With the profits shared between the clubs, both sides effectively sold 2167 match passes. From each £10 match pass, the total amount of profit a club makes per pass is approximately £8.34 (according to https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2 ... -outlined/), so Mansfield made just over £18,000 from the Sunderland game. Of course, the number of match passes for the Dagenham game, if it had been shown on iFollow instead of BBC iPlayer, would have been nowhere near the number for the Sunderland game, so the Stags were better off with the £12,500 in this case.

So with prize money for our ‘cup run’ so far, we’re at nearly £73K ?
It think that’s blooming brill

As I have bored people with for weeks now, I will not be attending ANY large gatherings of people, including the One Call, until vaccinated, which could be early next year or possibly never. Myself and my wife are classed as vulnerable due to age, wouldn't it make sense for the club to do whatever is necessary, either with the EFL or the broadcasting authorities, to make all home or/and away games available via ifollow until the Covid-19 crisis is over?
Not looking for a freebee, happy to pay a reasonable price, maybe the cost of a season ticket?
