Peterborough, iFollow too cheap

Peterborough United co-owner Darragh MacAnthony believes the iFollow streaming fee of £10 per match for non-season ticket holders is too cheap.

The EFL announced plans to stream games being played behind-closed-doors after reaching a temporary agreement with Sky Sports.

“Season ticket holders will be given codes for iFollow,” MacAnthony told his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast.


“It’s £10 a go for other fans which is too cheap in my opinion, especially when three or more people are sitting in the same room watching the same stream.

“I would also urge our fans to sign in to games through our stream as there is a 70-30 split in terms of the money generated.

“Sunderland’s 30,000 fans will still generate a decent sum. Our fans are loyal, but there obviously aren’t that many of them.”

Darragh’s a cnut. Don’t be like Darragh.

I think its priced spot on. I suspect there will be a huge uptake no matter how many people are sat around a screen.

Another Chairman who really doesn't understand the problems most of his customers face. I personally think a tenner is about right for lge.1/lge.2 football as a match goer. Also you can get a Sky pass for about forty quid a month and watch literally dozens of games no matter how many people watch your telly.

I have to say that I think it’s about right. I will try it out and as long as it is good ( unlike parkway game) then I will carry on.

To put some kind of perspective on this an average cinema ticket dropped from £7.49 to £7.22 this year. I'm not saying the tenner is terrible price but viewed in context with what else you can buy entertainment wise it's not cheap. Fry is out of touch with his customer base. I think we should see match day tickets come down in price to lure fans back when they are able.

I won't be paying to watch that shite.

You might as well pay it as the Ron Jeremy films that you are accustomed to will not be returning anytime soon. It's probably saving your spectacles a lot of wear and tear too

Ron Jeremy, kinel, we are talking classic cinema.

£10 v £25+ , when fans return it Will be interesting

I expect the Peterborough fans would agree after today’s result

Let Peterborough experiment and charge £29.99 like the BT Sport/Box office boxing and see what happens.
