Following the Shrimps from afar

[Wild Bill]

Moving to Thailand (again) on the 13th August. What's all these rumours that could watch live matches this season via the tintaweb?

[paschahound]

Not bad value for £110.
Every game streamed live.

[Wild Bill]

Sounds good. Think that's my Saturday evenings covered. Chiang Mai FC live followed by Morecambe on the laptop.

[Freez]

Accompanied by the commentary from Player (Or IFollow net Radio as it is now) to go with the picture.
Poor you!!

[Bare Grills]

As part of your club's new website iFollow will provide overseas fans with the opportunity to live stream up to 46 live league games featuring their club within the regular EFL season. Season passes are now available for the equivalent of £110.
That could be 1, check before ordering.

[Freez]

Also there will be radio coverage of all games in the Checkatrade, Caraboa and FA Cups!!

Will it still sound like 2 Northerners talking about football in a pub as some Dagenham supporters once commented after tuning into Morecambe-Player

Aye... like TKMaxx "Always UP TO 60% reductions"... okay, so could be 1% then, eh?

[Freez]

Better than Stadler and Waldorf I suppose??

At least you won't get L@nc@$ter C*** stickers plastered on your car in Thailand...

Ha ha! I never thought it would even happen on the Marsh

If overseas listeners got the same as the UK, why have a separate section listing what they'll get? Why not just say UK & International?

It couldn't be 1%, mathematically the minimum is just over 2%. You always were better at English

[shrimper]

Something has an initial price of £100. It is now being sold for £99. What is the percentage discount?

[Alan]

Bare grills is talking specifically about the iFollow deal of up to 46 matches, which makes each match worth 2% approximately whilst Shrimper is talking generally about percentages.

I therefore award points to both sides - handshakes and big hugs all round.

Unless of course iFollow are planning to show just one half of one of our matches ?

At least this post will be top of the leaderboard for a few minutes instead of that bl***y song game which has been annoying me all summer. I never read it. Put it on a sticky Keith. Rant over.

[shrimper]

Nonsense. I was clearly talking specifically about the TKMaxx 'up to 60%' promotion and Mr Grills accused me of being mathematically challenged.

I'm 100% in the clear on this one.

It's annoying you because you never read it or because you have no musical expertise?

It could be 0%.

Anyway, back to the serious point, I suspect what's being sold to International listeners is 1 match per week. A match of iFollow's choosing, not every Morecambe match. If it were every Morecambe match, it wouldn't show international separately. Perhaps one of the commentators might know

[Freez]

Not a bloody clue, sorry, but you knew that.

We don't know how it's going to work, but details are being divulged slowly. Hopefully post more when I know more!

iFollow club channels will broadcast all league matches live, unless that match is selected by international syndication (usually the live Sky matches plus one Saturday 3pm Championship match for the international market). Hence the "up to" point, as it's impossible to advise how many matches per season each club will be broadcast by Sky/International broadcasters in advance, but for most L1/L2 clubs it will be all 46.

I get narked when the Board Index shows a new post and I go to General Discussion, only to find it is on 'The Song Game'. HMRC can usually find more important things for me to do online !

So if you taunt me till the end of the day, even all day and all of the night or in fact for days I will resist the urge to end this post with a song.

[paschahound]

This sounds potentially like a superb offering or a complete white elephant, as now it is too unclear as to how it will work.
I am wondering if there will be commentary from Freez or if it is just a camera on the halfway line swinging left to right (and back again). Theoretically this could be as novel as Radio Christie was (possibly with the same amount of success too ) I just can't see there being enough people who live abroad willing to subscribe to it to make it decent enough though. Would be great if it does actually go ahead and generate income though.

[SimplyRed MFC]

Oy, there was nothing wrong with Radio Christie i'll have you know. Very innovative at the time
Ok, so it wasn't radio - but it was definately at Christie !

The video of every League match has to be beamed back to the production company for the highlights programme that evening, so my guess is, they are simply allowing overseas subscribers access to that 'raw' feed. UK subscribers aren't allowed to view it because the highlights company will have the copyright/exclusive rights until after their show. Therefore, probably minimal cost. As they provide audio commentary too, they may just broadcast the two together.

[Freez]

I understand that is the plan, they will, I believe carry the audio feed from our net radio broadcast that goes out all over and link it to the pictures that are beamed abroad.
As I have said, when I know more, I will let everyone know.
