So another chapter in the Ifollow service for Notts today.

Seems that uk based fans can pay £45 and have live streaming of the Tuesday night matches now.

Announcement reads a little confusing, but my reading of it is only Tuesday night games.

I can see this being good for fans who cant travel to night games.

The devil in me though says why wouldn’t thy get a good VPN and get the full season package ?

Stupid decision we want fans to attend not to sit at home and watch it.

It's only Tuesday games, it seems fair but ALL the money should go to the club rather than anywhere else.

I tried to pay for the service last season (international fans) and it got declined.

Tuesday night games have a low turn out and this may encourage Notts to put on offers to get them away from the computer scenes. It's not the worst idea I have read, it seems good on the principle but when you can't listen to the radio very well, how good can the video stream be?

Even on a wet Tuesday night in Exeter? (As an example) It's a good idea for the working so that they can watch the game from home and still be in a fit state to go to work the next day.

its a good idea but i think they will find its not yet worth it.

i hope more fans try to go to home games and use the service for away matches, people on social media will moan their hearts out about those who choose to stay at home for various reasons. i sometimes wished football fans could be more respectful.

Yes, what's wrong with listening to the radio?

I think this is a bad decision and something aimed to combat those UK residents that us proxies to watch the games. It's not the right call for me.

I'm not bothered either way, I wouldn't use it and I don't think it's a bad idea. Just not for me.

Its a good idea to get fans more involved, maybe if they enjoy what they see they will attend a few games?

Good idea if they can make it work, I wouldn't even if I was unable to attend but of course others might.

Irrelevant to most but useful for some fans, I think more will still choose to attend games.

The quality of the coverage is worse than most non league highlights, I wouldn't pay for it.

A waste of resources for what demand there will be from any League Two club. Better things to be focusing on like the scoreboard!

It's not a waste if it connects a fan back to the club, I like the idea but I do feel more thought can go into this. The highlights I have seen whilst away with friends wasn't the best quality (their service).

They have a known issue for android devices and their customer service is the worst I have ever known, due to how the wankers have treated me i will never be subscribing to this even though it is a good idea for the long haul away games.

I'm not bothered about it. I'll stick with Radio and Charlie.

If I lived away from Nottingham I’d definitely go for it so for those fans it’ll be great but I’d rather listen to radio myself or if it’s a home game I’d probably go.

I can't say it interests me, I would rather watch it on TV or live.

The service is a bit rough and ready (extremely quiet audio, no commentary) but it works, and I saw LOADS more of Notts last season than at any point since I came to Germany.

This seems OK to those who can't make night matches. I can't see it having a measurable effect on crowds myself.

It's better than nothing but I still think it's irrelevant to most fans, making it not worthwhile.
