Does anyone have any confidence that the stream will be of quality worth paying £5 for?

If you subscribe to ifollow for the audio commentary then the video stream is free. One thing I have discovered is that smart TVs with internet won't display video from ifollow. They have blocked the stream. Only way around is to use a HDMI connection.

So its likely that there will be more watching online than at the ground.
Remember when we set another "first" with the first ever "Pay to View" game on sky?
It won`t be long before "those pesky fans" in the ground will be a thing of the past..... think how much all those prime locations could be sold for then televise 22 blokes kicking the ball about in a warehouse somewhere....

I wonder why some people bother replying in the negative to a thread about a competition their not interested in. Very strange

Yes, I paid for that. £7 if I remember correctly. Lost to Sunderland. 😕

I was living in Longwick at the time so must have been about 97 or 98.

''In addition, Round Two matches of the Checkatrade Trophy will be used as the start of a trial to consider enhancements to the iFollow offer, as the EFL starts planning to increase the quality of coverage and production values ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.''

I was living in Longwick at the time so must have been about 97 or 98. And we haven't played them since. Anyone remember a BBC documentary about football violence, in the 70s ? They were in the London road during the Sunderland game(when it was half and half),i think it was 1975. They interviewed a mate,who said the prefered weapon was twisting a coke can in half and using the sharp edges. The interviewer lapped it up. He was about 15 and had never been involved in football violence in his life Anyway,mid table mediocrity for the rest of the League season. So only one competition we can win,full strength side please,let's go for it.

Then you'll be able to watch the match. www.oufc.co.uk/matches/fixtures/first-team/201718/december/gillingham-vs-oxford-united-on-05-dec-172/I don't know if you can make purchases from within the app, but if you click that link and then "watch live now", a window should open with purchase options.

Really poor stream quality so far but nice to have live commentary and replays of key incidents.

Coverage miles better than league games. Replays, camera angles and commentary.

I suggest anyone who has goal notifications turns them off. I knew we were 1-0 down 2 minutes before I saw it.
