Yeah, congratulations on getting the website up 45 hours before the season starts.
I’d wait until we all know it works properly before we get excited which was my main point about getting it launched early and using the Lincoln game as a trial run. I can remember all the home preseason friendlies were broadcast prior to the 2015/16 season for example.
Based on the issues with the official website, ticket website and club shop especially when they launched but intermittently since I’d hold fire with the congratulations for just launching a service 71 other clubs already have in place and make sure the thing actually provides the services successfully first.
But I suppose it’s baby steps and the service is on its feet now.
It’s not the same service as the other 71 though. It would have been simple for 1878 to go with iFollow, but they have put additional work in up front to develop a different platform to ensure a better experience for us as fans and also more revenue for the club by all accounts. Seems like a no brainier to me and more evidence of them refusing to go down the path of least resistance that the old regime took, shirt sponsorship bring one of many examples. I’ll criticise when something actually goes wrong, not before on the off chance something might go wrong. |

Not now we’re back in the league, as far as I’m aware. There are blackouts of EFL commentaries online during games.
But if a pain. But one for the oldies. Get ceefax up on your TV. Find the page with our current score. (For some strange reason about 417 springs to mind). Then press the ‘refresh’ button every 30 seconds or so to keep up to date. Speaking from experience this is best done with several tins of beer available, it can get a bit tedious! I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s done this!! UTM |

I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'  |

Myself and others explained logical reasons why it's so close to the wire. We could only order this solution after 5th June and we decided to go for something different which should be congratulated, not criticised. So many factors were out of the clubs control on this one but they've delivered something in time for the big kick off. Will there be teething problems? Potentially, but I'm confident they will be ironed out by the end of August and they've had the guts to try something new rather than the default and outdated service given to clubs under the World and then iFollow brand 20 years ago. |

I don’t think the majority of clubs use iFollow anymore do they? Maybe in L2, but certainly not above our level. |

Don’t you know the stats as to how many do and how many don’t? Tut tut golly, losing your touch 😉 |

Sorry if its been mentioned before but, i will be purchasing the specified games (if away) on a £10 per match basis, but i have to create an account in order to access them, there is no option to create an account without stipulating either a monthly or a season pass as this has to be done before i can create an account, anyone know how this works please.

I've paid my £45 but I will be disappointed if most content is behind the pay wall. The RH interview is 21 minutes, I logged in to view the video and it started with Matt Dean speaking but was just 11 minutes.
Personally I think all pre/post match interviews and comprehensive highlights should be free, as should all interviews with new signings and updates from the board. I don't think people could complain if content outside of that went behind the pay wall but you do risk cutting people off out of principle or cost pressures if you severely limit their access.
My reason for paying isn't to access content, it's to listen to JT when I'm sat watching a game elsewhere on a Saturday afternoon.
