Thanks. That was a good stream. What's more the commentator was very good.

As Reading are yet again overlooked for live coverage, can anyone remind me when was the last time we were actually picked for TV?

Sheffield United FA Cup? Before that, QPR on Boxing Day?

Given how much we mean how crap watching us has been, why put neutrals through it?

They’ll be rushing to sign us up for lots of games when we are top of the league in October. By that point the honeymoon period will be over and we will be dreadful in every TV game.

Interesting* blog from the Colchester chairman here who details how revenue works from iFollow streams.

https://www.cu-fc.com/news/2020/septemb ... statement/

In short, the home team get all the revenue from home fans who purchase iFollow streams as well as all the revenue from the first 500 away fans who purchase a stream. The away teams get the revenue from fan 501 onwards.

Using their game on Saturday - Colchester sold 452 streams and Bolton 2252. So Colchester got about 8k from 952 streams, whilst Bolton got about 14k. Away teams usually receive a 5% commission payment, so the streaming is worth significantly more to a club if it can attract a large, virtual away following.

So, and certainly more so at lower levels, the streaming is a vital revenue source for clubs currently.

Thanks for sharing Stranded, this is really quite interesting.

Agreed. It seems that if we want our football clubs to survive we need to try to support them financially through these challenging times (assuming we can afford to) by doing things like paying our tenner for the iFollow coverage.

Do, ifollow, or anyone, publish the number of passes purchased by home/away fans for each match?

Not seen it but it must be available for the clubs to have access to that info.

Late decision but the match on Saturday v Watford has been chosen as the European TV match which means 6 camera production now- chance of streams as well.

Any pubs in or around Reading showing the games?

[exileinleeds]

It's being shown live on BeIn 5, which is nice.
