It's been forwarded to me by my team, and is called ifollow, requires the subscriber to pay a small amount per season. Most games will be covered by the single camera, so it won't be all the ****-and-whistles Sky/BT service.
How will they stop UK-based fans simply subbing and not going to their grounds, after all it's easy to circumnavigate geo-blocking? I suppose one answer will be to accept foreign bank details only, and I'd be surprised if many of the games find their way onto pirate services.
Anyhoe here's the link and details; thoughts?? Will anyone here take up the service for their club if they are exiled?

I don't think this will have much of an impact on stadium attendances, Richard. The service is aimed at fans overseas - those in the UK will only get audio and highlights.
However, as you say, if there is a lot of circumnavigation of geo-blocking, that could be a problem, but only a minority are into that.
