Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

No info comes from stanley, that is the problem and proves my point.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Sorry not on website it was on Stanley's twitter page .

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Is there yet any info about how many people have subscribed, either through Season Ticket codes or directly, to watch Stanley’s home games on iFollow?
Presumably some money will come trickling through to the club, but I just wondered what the figures were.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Hi, has any season ticket holder heard when we can contact the club for iFollow codes for Tuesday nights game against Fleetwood next week?

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I would just e-mail Sophie, she will send it when she has it :)

If not, just ring the Club and ask.

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Of Course Valairian......sensible advice....

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

�� iFollow codes for our @SkyBetLeagueOne clash at home to @ftfc next Tuesday, ko 7pm, are now available.

These can be redeemed tomorrow, Friday and Monday between 10am - 4pm by phone or in person and then on Tuesday (match night) from 10am - 5pm.

Thank you.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Beat me to it.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Club to start to issue codes for games via email to the address you supplied.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

thats a good thing i reckon.:)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Yep, got mine this afternoon - thank you Dan

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Me too.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

A good improvement - it needed to be automated.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Andy Holt has tweeted Stanley have generated £18567 so far from the league games in income he reckons we would have generated £70000+ from the Rochdale game alone doesn't take a genius to see that this can't last long.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Just had an e-mail through about this...

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

cheers joe thats handy.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

This latest change is very welcome and it should be much less hassle!
ON STANLEY ON.:)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Andy Holt reckons we have made £18540 revenue so far would have with fans the 4 home games would have been £180000. If the season continues in the same vein and is not helped financially Stanley looking at £500000+ loss with a rough reckoning.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Swindon off no surprise there.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I do not like the 'under investigation' bit to be honest... hope it does not end up in us having to forfeit these games?? :(

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

My original point about consistency things need to be crystal clear if the rules if there is any to follow in these circumstances don't break or abuse them should be ok, with this lot running the show don't hold your breath.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Agreed mate :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Surely there are other savings though ? Security, match day staffing etc ?
Also what about the season ticket revenue that hasn't been returned ?
I'm not an accountant and not good with figures maybe someone can clarify.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Not one myself but I dread if the season lasts that long drawing Man Utd at Old Trafford in the 3rd of FA cup doesn't even bear thinking about that potential earner or lack of.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

IF and it is a BIG IF, we were to draw M** U** away, at least we could sell tickets for the game :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38:

I will say it, before somebody else does ;)

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

All very complicated and still no atcual "rules" as this is all "brand new" and everything is on a "case by case" basis.

Clubs who ask for suspensions will need to show how many issues they have; what might not have been done just right and how to improve going forward.

As always its rather confusing and stressful !!:(

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Must be a nightmare Mark good luck to everyone involved in the employment of football your going to need it hopefully not but will probably get worse before it finally gets better.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

plenty of other games have been postponed but when stanley are concerned its under investigation. if they want to investigate someone then get the FA to investigate barnet. 1 case and they call off a home game v top of the league hartlepool. a week later with 4 or 7 cases, depending which source you read, they manage to play a really winnable fa cup game to get the money.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Apparently there was a load of issues especially concerning league 2 games last night with IFollow EFL has issued an apology this morning urging fans to use the IFollow on line live chat service to seek refunds etc:- good luck with that one. A lot of fans from various clubs saying service isn't fit for purpose and an alternative should be found maybe not that straight forward.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

All games in the EFL that are being postponed because of Covid are being investigated. It's not just happening to Stanley. Can't speak for Barnet though as they're no longer in the league.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Germany to stop fans from attending games again due to rising cases of Covid their, not good to hear doesn't look likely we'll be going back anytime soon.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

anyone know if the tranmere cup game will be streamed or being a cup game does someone own the rights for transmission.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Not looking hopeful. I found this on the EFL website:
https://www.efl.com/broadcast-schedule/ that includes:
'Please note: Carabao Cup Round One - Four (excluding those involving a Premier League club) and Papa John’s Trophy matches are now available on iFollow (excluding those selected for broadcast) but there will be no The FA Cup matches available to watch on the service.'

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

More great news then so Barrow away on the 10th will be the next a full 3 weeks without a game to watch, hindsight is easy and not blaming any clubs but we all were led to believe there would be a gradual return of fans so at all clubs big response on season ticket sales. If everyone knew what they know now would the uptake as been as good, reading various fans forums and Facebook and Twitter sites I would say no.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

plus we were told that live streaming was brought in for fans being banned from games. its not ideal but better than nothing which seems to be the case for the FA Cup. just wonder if its the BBC again who own the rights for television blocking streaming whilst other companies who own the rights for the other competitions are not. if thats the case then football fans should join any defund the BBC organisations.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

to be honest long before covid i have been saying defund the BBC,

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Both clubs have agreed to stream the game IF it's not one of the 16 TV games.

However on details on how it's going to work; as I Follow is an EFL system and the game is in the FA Cup!!

Again work in progress !

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

A good move - after a very bad one - from The Geordies :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

IMG who had the international rights for the FA cup sold it to several betting sites last year available in the UK and it got criticised by the Government.

They showed the non-telly ones on the betting sites for free, you didn't have to bet, just fund an account in a certain timeframe which could be withdrawn after. Not sure who has rights this year and who they have been sold to.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

10 days to go till the government debate on 9th November on return of fans can't see a positive outcome on this somehow might be wrong but worst case scenario no fans this season I wonder if clubs have discussed any contingency plans on restructuring budgets or the continuation of the season. If no fans allowed in I can see a big take-up of fans wanting refunds anybody's thought,s.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I said right at the beginning - in reply to somebody on a thread on here - that I doubted supporters would be allowed in this year and more than likely, this season - and I stand by that :(

As for refunds Etc. I think people will ask - but in my opinion - there was always a very good chance we would not see any footy... :(

Just my thoughts, hope I am very, very wrong ;) :)

[QUOTE=VALAIRIAN;1246264]I said right at the beginning - in reply to somebody on a thread on here - that I doubted supporters would be allowed in this year and more than likely, this season - and I stand by that :(

with you on that. in fact i,m looking at august 2021 as a possibility. its not only the safety considerations thats in my mind but more importantly how it looks to the rest of the non football watching public. there interests and activities have been cancelled by the virus so why should football be any different. if all the luvvies were allowed to get back to work with all their places totally open and football grounds still shut then i,d be infront of the queue complaining.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

There is also the angle of how the supporters feel about going into grounds....... we have quite an open ground, but not all are.....

I understand fully - and respect - those who would be nervous at the thought of going somewhere with 100's of other people.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

[QUOTE=VALAIRIAN;1246276].

I understand fully - and respect - those who would be nervous at the thought of going somewhere with 100's of other people.


it has never been compulsory to attend games anyway. would be back today if i had the choice but looking at the wider picture at the moment giving me the chance to do so is not the right message until some form of normality in everything comes back. there are many who actually hate football with a passion like my brother in law and late sister. she never got it that she had a bit more than some of her school mates due to our father having the odd quid more due to his profession.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

After a meeting this morning between Andy Holt and the rest of Accrington Stanley,s board it has been decided to refund 50% of season tickets money to every season ticket holder, I follow will still be available as will access to matches if we are allowed back this season. I would like to say that this is a fantastic gesture from a well run financially sound club well done to all involved.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Very nice gesture, but - unless forced - I shall NOT be accepting a refund!


:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

[QUOTE=VALAIRIAN;1246316]Very nice gesture, but - unless forced - I shall NOT be accepting a refund!

Nor will I!

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

at least the option is there for those who are really feeling the pinch and with the possibility of the dole queue on the horizon. unlike a lot of clubs i think there will be a lot of refusals. its what makes this club greater than a lot of others. there are not many of us, we fall out at times but at the end of the day most u=of us have their hearts in the right place.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Agree MH, I will not begrudge anybody accepting the refund, after all, we all have different circumstances :)


:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Just noticed our game against Tranmere is available on iFollow this Saturday. Really hoping it goes ahead, it seems such a long time since I've watched Stanley in a competitive match. Can't wait.....

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

thats a surprise but a pleasant one for a change.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Crown Grounder......Do you mean that the Tranmere FA Cup match ‘i follow’ coverage is covered by our Season Ticket purchase, like the home League One games?:idunno:

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I would,nt have thought so home league games only this will be £10 to watch.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

3 options regards season tickets before 30th November waive the refund, take the refund or donate towards the new supporters bar in the new main stand development, everyone has a choice.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

No.........that's not what I meant........It's £10 to watch on iFollow. Sorry my friend.......but will be worth every penny to see the lads back in action........

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Thanks. That is what I thought you meant. Just making sure wether I will need to pay when I log in to watch it.:mosher:

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Was in the shop this morning to buy summat, and asked about the Tranmere game on Sat, was told everything is ok now so it will be on. thank god for that i say.:)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Game is defo on I Follow but will cost all supporters of both clubs £10; money split 50/50 between both clubs.
BBC Radio Lancs are doing the commentary, so you'll need to select that for the Accy view

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I've kinda picked up on here that the stream is not generally thought to be matchday gripping. Spare a thought for us Accy exiles who might only get to an away game or two. Empty stadium or not, to pay my tenner to cheer the lads visually on ifollow is unbelievably xcitin'. My front room is rockin' come kick off - and being an owd widower I have create the atmos all by myself - neighbours convinced I'm barkin' !
Hope this faciilty continues post covid - more revenue for the club,

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I think the general consensus on here isn't about the availability of being able to watch games live during this awful pandemic that is great , it's more about the lack of atmosphere in the empty stadiums and the effect it is having on games. Suppose one could argue it,s the same for both sides as for continuing after Covid it would be great for fans who can't get to games but I can't see that happening sorry enjoy the game today.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

it actually might get some of us to go to more away games and exiles attend more home games though. thats if they still have jobs and spare money available.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Looking like if you want to watch Stanley IFollow will have to do for the foreseeable after the debate on fans returning today that foreseeable is going to be for a while.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

think it was obvious the decision given would be negative for fans. the debate was done too early and at the wrong time for me.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

It's not about the debate to me it's the being in the dark about a way forward no business rich or poor can plan for that.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

The away match at Charlton has been moved to 7:45pm on Friday, 8 Jan, so that it can be shown live on Sky. Does anyone know whether it will still be available on iFollow?

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Mike and all;

Really sure from the info we receive Sky games aren't available on I Follow.

Makes sense when clubs selected get a fee for "appearing"

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

If you go on i follow you can see which games are being shown

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

OK glad the club get a fee for appearing, but those of us that don't have Sky don't get a choice.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

You might be able to buy a now tv day pass?......or whatever its called. Not sure of cost but it may be similar to iFollows £10.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

£9.98 for a day pass most smart TV,s have the now TV app you have to activate it I believe.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Thanks Andyd, that's me sorted......I'll just double check its available before I buy nearer the time and then buy the pass......

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

what is this app please i have no idea with technology

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

have you got NOW TV and a smart tele. if you have just go onto your NOW, go into sport and follow the instructions slowly. no app nonesence needed but a bit of time and patiance required.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

It looks like this will work if you have a suitable TV with access to NOW:
https://www.nowtv.com/gb/checkout/summary

I'm guessing it will also work on a desktop or laptop. It looks like you buy it in advance, then activate it when you need it.

Has anyone had experience of using it?

PS Sorry MH, I posted this without seeing your reply to Cashy. It would still be useful to hear of others' experiences with it, though.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

told yeh i was numb with technology whats a now tv i have no idea? mine has netflix bbc i player and all sort of stuff

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I am not tech savvy Cashy, but I think that is a Smart TV, so should be OK :)

Somebody will confirm :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

yeh mate but have no idea what the app is or what to download,:confused:

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

If MH is right, you do not need to :)

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

yes i am right . NOW TV and a smart tele and you have cracked it. watched a donny rovers game and was dead easy to do. if i can do it anyone can i assure you. if anyone has these divices just go into now tv and have a practise on what to do. you can go all the way to actually paying for the game so you,ll know what to do for the stanley match.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Obviously smarter than its owner!:D


You know I love you really Cashy me owd mucker! Catch you next year hopefully after the plague has taken all the first born & suchlike. ;)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

O.M.A.G. great post D.I.G!!

@Cashy, we all love you really ;)

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

thats the Smart thing to do on your App.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Some big numbers in there :eek: :eek:

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...tanley-family/

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

I see that I follow is to continue next season outside of the 3-00 to 5-15 Saturday window so night games will be shown great in one way you can watch for example Plymouth away on a Tuesday night, will have a big impact on away travel mid week plus on top of people getting out of the habit of traveling around the country due to the pandemic. Think there will be some kind of reimbursement hopefully because majority of clubs are close to skint.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

actually clubs might make more money with the streaming of mid week games. there are plenty of older stanley fans who sit near to me swerve em for various reasons. i imagine they,ll watch em from home. same with those with young kids who feel its too late to keep their kids up with games going onto 9.45 nowadays. its getting the little sods up for school the next day thats the problem.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Reverting back........... :(

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...low-streaming/


:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

so that means clubs could still stream live midweek games again if they wish to do so. wonder if stanley will be one of them or not.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Just a heads-up. You can watch tonight's game against Doncaster on iFollow if you can't get to the game for any reason. I assume it's to generate income from Doncaster fans who won't travel mid-week.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Good watch it on I follow then bought my season ticket and haven't used it yet ah well way it goes sometimes better than nought.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

actually got ready to go to the game but decided to watch the live stream instead. saved the ball ache of driving over and saving me a gallon of diesel.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

wonder if anyone else watched the live stream last night instead of turning up as they would have done.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Barrow game is on iFollow, for anybody who cannot make it :)

:) :) :)

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

Sources at WBA say they have agreed to loan us 19 year old Jovan Malcolm described as the new wonder kid striker very talented.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

to be honest i dont give a stuff who likes me everyones got the choice.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

who was the last young player who was never described in this way. once these lads were all ones for the future. does not help the lad as some fans will now have unreal expectations from this lad.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

like your style cashy. think some on messageboards attempt to win a popularity contest instead of stating their own views.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

thats a racing certainty i reckon.

Re: iFollow and Stanley
 

For those that cannot attend the Charlton away game, you can watch on iFollow :)


:) :) :)
