If anyone is struggling to watch the matches..... PM me and I'll send you a few options on how you can watch. I've used Ifollow for a couple of years now and overall it is good quality but limited to what devices you can watch it on. I also use "other" ways of viewing as I am forced to, to watch my UK TV as I live in Spain. The main thing is that I don't miss a minute of WBA matches on my big screen.

Out of interest can you get ifollow coverage in HD or is it standard definition like Sky red button ?

Only 2 positive tests in the latest round of nearly 1200 tests conducted in the Championship, think we can safely pencil in Blues at home on 20th June.

Efl have confirmed that if season ends again once resumed then remaining fixtures will be calculated on a PPG basis. Promotion AND relegations upheld as standard

Do we know if iFollow is going to cover the live Sky and BT Sport matches also? The website says STH holders can get automatic coverage to all 9 games, but that may just apply to STH's.

Don't think the system is nuanced enough for them to differentiate.

Ta. Hope you're right, to save me trying to find some dodgy stream for Sky games.

Think you're right, STH's will just get a code(s) to cover all 9 games, but anyone can pay the Â£10 per game & watch.

It's 720p resolution. So not full HD but if you run it through a powerful PC, the quality is very good. Cheaper devices can playback a little jerky.

Can you stream iFollow on a â€˜smartâ€™ TV?

I think you can only stream to mobile devices.

OK thanks for that, I'll give it a go when we finally kick off.

The Coventry fans went to the City centre and had a promotion party with no social distancing.

If we go up, and it's a big if, I wonder what shenanigans our lot will get up to.

It says you can view it on a desktop computer, so I can't see why not.

Just followed the link on os & it works on my chrome browser.

It does look as though an audio only commentary is available for non sth's if the match is being shown on sky.

Iâ€™ve tried to stream a couple of things on smart tv browsers in the past and itâ€™s never worked out particularly well. I think Iâ€™ve abandoned it every time. They donâ€™t seem to be particularly compatible with flash players or the like that mobiles, tablets and computers use.

Like has been said, a HDMI adapted is probably the beat way if you really want it on your tv screen. They arenâ€™t particularly expensive.

I have a Samsung TV and phone. Would it work with Samsung Smart View?

I use a mac, and have succesfully linked via HDMI lead to a LG smart tv, bit of a faff but works ok.

It will be very stuttery. Your Samsung phone will have come with a hdmi out adapter.

I would have thought a lot of these questions would be best answserd by someone from the WBA I-T team.

I think you should be able to watch it on your phone then transmit the picture to the TV. It is possible they block you from doing that like they do with Sky Go.

I think you are right that mirroring isn't supported on iFollows

Michael Oâ€™ Neill tested positive . Results apparently given him when he was already at venue for friendly v Man. Utd. Seems he had tested negative on several previous occasions, wonder how much of a set back this is to re starting ?

Not a set back at all. Treated like any injury.

By 'match being shown on Sky' I assume you mean shown as the main match with full HD coverage ? Sky red button matches - I'm not sure, but would hope these are classed differently and available to non STH on ifollow ?

Wonâ€™t all his team have to self isolate for 14 days ? , with only 10 days to go before re start
