My interest in TV is pretty much what can I stream, and LCFC (loving LCFC this season, but don't really care too much about the rest of UKTV or US TV to be honest). I am probably way behind many on here in my TV access.
I figured the language in the contract might provide some protection for iFollow but I think it is open to a lot of criticism. I have no problem with the language if you are paying on a match by match basis. Totally legit and nobody is out money. But when you are purchasing a subscription you need to know what you are purchasing at point of sale, if that changes the onus is on the seller, not the buyer.
I clicked on the part of the website that talks about unavailable matches and this was the language given:
"Whilst the doors remain shut to fans, or with limited spectators allowed through the turnstiles, an arrangement exists whereby all matches that are NOT LIVE on Sky Sports will be available to stream by Clubs on iFollow (or Club equivalent service), for a match pass price of £10."
There is no mention of subscription services to iFollow, and when I looked up the schedule of unavailable matches Lincoln v Oxford was added, but clearly that was not posted earlier, despite subscriptions being sold.
An equivalent example would be if you bought a season ticket, some qualifying language was included in the Terms and Conditions of the season ticket, then half way through the season they said all seats would be given to local school children and the match would not be available for season ticket holders. Fans would rightly say they had paid their money and this was unacceptable, yet for some reason that logic is what is applied to subscription purchasers of iFollow.
