Does anyone know? Gillngham Cricketers for example which is usually pretty full on matchdays with Gills fans.
The Cricketers wouldn't be allowed to show it. Strictly speaking though I'm not sure there's any reason why you couldn't watch it on your phone while in the pub.
They won’t be allowed to as iFollow is for home use only as mentioned above.Maybe gills should go proactive and ask them about a cost to show it in the factory. Make a few quid on food and beer along the way.

I could only see that working if we were also allowed to charge people to get in (with ST holders in for free). Otherwise I guess it could end up costing us money. If you don't charge for people to get in, every non-ST holder that goes in there is potentially someone not paying a tenner (most of which goes to the club) to watch on iFollow (obviously they'd then spend something on drinks while in there, but potentially not enough to cover the lost money from iFollow). Then you'd have some ST holders moaning that a free code to watch home matches on iFollow is no longer any kind of compensation for their lost ST since everyone's allowed in there for free anyway.
Think you are getting distracted and forgetting about general Covid restrictions that are or maybe in place
Given some of the rules make no sense at all.Why not have 4 or 5 thousand packed into the factory watching games.After all players are able to jump all over one another. I can work without a mask .But fewer people in a larger shop have to wear masks .Our government sent recovering Coronavirus patients into care homes where the most vulnerable people were .Carers were unable to get PPE when the government destroyed tens millions of pounds worth as they had kept it beyond its sell by date.I can go to the pub and get pissed but can't meet up with neighbouring residents outside my house.Correct. If clubs aren’t allowed to admit a reduced, socially distanced number of fans in an open air stadium. I see no way they will be allowed to welcome them into a bar area to watch. Especially throwing alcohol into the equation.
I get what you’re saying Chris. And I agree, the government rules are laughably inconsistent, unenforceable, hypocritical, whatever else you wanna add.Given some of the rules make no sense at all.Why not have 4 or 5 thousand packed into the factory watching games.After all players are able to jump all over one another.

I was being sarcastic about the thousands in the factory.But it seems that if you had a area like the millennium dome you could have a few thousand attend to watch a match on a screen. But the numbers would not be allowed at a live match.I get what you’re saying Chris.

My original statement stands though. I do not see fans being able to gather together (legally) in an enclosed building that sells alcohol, before being allowed back in open air grounds with restricted numbers.
Just my view mind.
Why is the factory any different to a pub ?
