According to the BBC this is a Championship-wide scheme through a service called iFollow. I assume that means that it is not through the club’s usual streaming service.

What happens when there are multiple season ticket holders in the same property. Will I get a number of access codes in line with the number of season tickets. If so, I’m assuming I can give one away (albeit there might be a risk with security aspects). Well lets just say there are 4 of you, get refunds on 3 of them and a code for 1 season ticket and all watch

Seems very well thought out, covers every option I can think of.

5 wins ideally needed out of the 9. Come on our lads. How ever we can watch or listen to the matches will do nicely. Let decorate the stadium fencing with Goodluck messages scarves flags etc. Must do all we can to support. I was watching one of the German games last week and they allowed supporters to go and decorate their seat so it wasn't so soulless maybe that's an idea?

5 wins would give us 57 points, we won't need that many, I believe 3 more wins should do it?.

Great idea and I’m not knocking the club at all, I’m just curious...
My Dad is a 83, season ticket holder for years but has no computer and no way of watching any sort of stream. He’s a sensible guy and I’m sure he won’t criticise the club in any way, he recognises the unprecedented problem but does he get a refund or not ?

Probably not to be honest but other pensioners I’m not sure about.

Does the app have to be on a phone or tablet or can you get it on a smart tv ?

I take 2 80+ year old season ticket holders to home games. I am really looking forward to trying to remotely getting them set up so that they can watch the games. I suspect that already being bald might be a good thing.

I imagine the numbers who already renewed will be small after all the early bird window opened as the pandemic was taking hold and a lot of the chatter here and on Twitter was we will wait, then the club announced they were going to reopen at early bird prices at another time, could see refunds given to those who already renewed, or give them a special badge or something! We are fortunate as a well backed club we could afford to refund those people, I look at our penny in the pound neighbours and other such smaller clubs and they are stuffed as that money is probably already spent and no sign of any more coming, it will be a dreadful time for lower league clubs over the next 12-18 months

Please make certain your details are up to date! Absolutely no use to those of us that live out in the sticks and have the shittest of shit broadband speeds. Never been able to stream anything at all - takes 8 hours to download a standard definition film from Sky. You need a mast on top of your roof pointing at the Mow Cop transmitter and when you've raised it to it's limit you only need to lop the tops off the neighbour's trees and Bob's your uncle

No reason why it can't be broadcast free to air like some of the Premier league matches Yes there is a reason. The clubs are in desperate need of some revenue so they can pay their players and staff and stay in business.

Season ticket holders have already paid, no turnstile revenue. Its a tiny amount of their revenue and would at least allow them to retain fans.

Does anyone have an elegant solution for watching on a decent sized screen? In the past I've either cast my phone or plugged in a laptop, but surely in this day and age there just be an app based solution for a smart tv itself?
Not exactly rocket science youd think.

So if there are 2 of you in a house with season tickets you're effectively paying about £30+ through your season tickets per match, when you could just be paying £10 for 1 stream that you can both watch. No deal, Noel! I'll have my refund and pay the £10 per match thank you! Except that the streaming gives you the away games as well. For 9 games, it doesn't bother me, I think to cut through the red tape, they should all be free. The club have made their money on last year's stuff. Whether I can be bothered to watch a training-ground atmosphere game, with friends-like canned applause is another matter. You can imagine a family of more than 2 season ticket holders will be quite rightly looking for refunds and just pay the 10er when they want to see an episode of SCFC.

If all midweek championship matches are shown on Sky red button it only leaves 5 matches that would not be televised.

He had a briefcase on his desk and thought like Fergie at Aberdeen, was a dossier on next week's opponents inside. Big Ron opened the case and was a hairbrush, a can of hairspray and a bottle of aftershave in it .
