Personally, I wonder if ifollow will cope at their end with the sudden increase in users during lockdown

Yep. They'll need to have invested significantly in additional servers etc to be able to cope with the increased traffic otherwise it's going to be a bit of a shambles.

If iFollow cock this up and let all of the clubs and their supporters down, the clubs should tell them to get stuffed, stick their own camera(s) in and stream live on Facebook like they do for U23 games etc.

It's worth reading this as it also tells you to check if/how it is working.

Hopefully they've invested in this as an opportunity to increase their customer base.

Do they offer packages e.g. away match coverage only? - That may be something ST fans could buy into in the future when they are allowed back to the stadium

Yea, got mine and will test tomorrow

[Zip]

Mine received too.

Trying to get mine set up and having real issues.

I enter the code and then I get a very brief view of a screen with "register now" which then disappears to be replaced by a screen to log in only. And repeat, and repeat.

Any suggestions?

PS Running Safari on Mac desktop and have unchecked the cross tracking

PPS Just downloaded Firefox and have the same issue

Same issues with mine. I contacted Follow and they gave me a temporary password to change mine and it worked for a day. Now it doesn't and I have emailed support twice but absolutely no response. Really pissed off with them and at moment wont be able to watch game

Also when you say you have forgotten your password they say they will send a link but it never arrives!!

All you plastic iFollowers, better not ruin it for us who have been with it through the tough times.

Are plastic iFollowers worse than cardboard fans in the stands?

Many thanks, this solved the problem I was experiencing with black screens rather than video playing. I had to enable Flash! It's astounding that the EFL are have partnered with iFollow, an organisation that persists in using Flash despite the known issues (hence browsers disabling it by default)!

You're welcome mate.

Yeah I was quite surprised by that too (!).

[RoyalBlue]

Pretty much an hour testing different browsers and overcoming all of the issues but finally there! Have a past game playing on iFollow through my laptop and HDMI cable to my TV.

I don't think this is going to be a good promotional activity for iFollow! Can't see them attracting many subscribers when they see how crap and problematic it is.

[RoyalBlue]

Next test is for our daughter, who is currently marooned in the US in potential immigration limbo, to be able to get iFollow working over there with her promotional code.
