    Very short sighted policy in my view

    Just another money making scam that probably earns the club a couple of grand but pi sses off thousands

    I’d never pay it

    It’s just the same.
    In the old days you bought and paid for a local
    Newspaper to hear the thoughts of a Coach, a week later in the Friday Chronicle. It’s the dynamic way news is delivered that you pay for
    I can’t see what the problem is. If you want to read it all at the end of the week, buy a paper!
    You wouldnt be happy unless the coach was phoning you up personally, and even then you’d have a moan that he was using a line you’d paid for....
    ( only joking mate )...
    You may not appreciate Jules that the local paper lad doesn't deliver the Chronicle to the Midlands

    Just a quick look
    Luton don't charge
    Derby don't charge
    Huddersfield don't charge
    Sunderland don't charge
    Notts County don't charge ffs

    Ah! he doesn’t deliver to Huddersfield either. So I have a choice. Pay for the exclusive stuff on ifollow. Read the news gathering apps, or do without. They don’t grab the money out of my pocket. I choose. Some of the content is good, some isn’t. But most of it is good, and if they didn’t do any of it, we’d be criticising them for staying in the dark ages.
    This content costs money to put together, someone has to pay.

    Whilst I think the OWS shouldn't charge for what they bill as 'exclusive interviews' in this day and age it has always gone on. Before we used to have clubcall which was a premium rate phone line, the matchday programme was another way of accessing more inside information.

    As Dooali alluded to tha can get access to some decent things on other sites. I think the BFC YouTube channel is a refreshing plus. The 'matchday recap' weekly videos are enjoyable viewing with some nice footage. It gives some different perspective to the match with various camera angles, commentary and a genuine better insight than the 30 seconds we get on Quest. Well worth a watch in my opinion

    I pay for it! £4.49 a month and personally I think it’s well worth it.
    It means I can listen to games when I can’t get there and keep on top of the whole club in general.
    It works out at £1.18 a week.....it’s not a lot to pay and as Jules says it costs to produce it.
