Obviously different rules for us international expats.
Well i live in the UK & i paid a yearly ifollow subscription for the season & my ifollow account stated it would expire on 02/09/21. I have even had an email from EFL email stating the following- the email was dated 30/06/21

Existing iFollow monthly pass holders will see that no further payment is taken from their account by EFL Digital after 1st July, and pro-rata refunds will be issued to any fan with existing value left in their subscription.

So god knows what is going on- i guess we will have to wait for an update from JY

I'm a little surprised Argyle are charging to watch the PSFs - I doubt they'll get many subscribers wanting to pay out £5. I'd have thought they'd want to test out the new service by having as many people watching as possible before the season-proper starts. It would also give fans a chance to test out the new service prior to forking out for a subscription.
Perhaps they had no choice if the match is also on Rover's iFollow.

It could be because it’s going to be redistributed from Bristol Rovers live feed (ifollow) so maybe a fee to them is payable

Bob i cant prove it now, because the page has been removed but on the information page on Argyle website it clearly said i paid Sept 2 2020 and it was due for renewal on Sept 2 2021.
I found mine on an email from August last year Mike. The question is does the season pass run until the start of the following season as there's content to view during the close season (until recently)?

I emailed iFollow to cancel my renewal when Argyle announced they were moving away. I received this response:

Hi Tony,

Thank you for contacting iFollow Support.

We have opted you out of the renewal on your season pass subscription and you will not be charged again.

Your account will allow access until the 02/09/2021.

iFollow Support


My account does not allow access as we no longer use iFollow..

I then received this from EFL:

Dear Tony,

As a result, the club's video service is changing from iFollow Argyle to Argyle TV and you will need to register with the new service once the new website is up and running.

I have received exactly the same emails as you & i am still waiting for a refund- as i have said in previous posts numerous emails to ifollow@efl.com no response

I dont think we will be reimbursed - it may not be a lot of money but it is the principal

No, you needed iFollow to access certain videos. And of course last season as a ST holder I had access to all home games anyway because of the no fans rule.

Emailed Argyle, Jamie Yabsley replied to me and it seemed they knew nothing about subscriptions expiring in September, they thought they all expired July 1. I paid $290 for 12 months for IFollow, i believe i am owed approx. $50.00 for NO service in July and August, I dont think it is iFollow or EFL job to refund i believe it's Argyles as they are the ones that cut the service.

To be honest with you Mike I'm not bothered about a refund (it's nowhere near $50 :)). Jamie will have seen on here that some of the UK subscribers will have renewed in September.

Hi all,

I think we have got to the bottom of the position on iFollow - hope you don't mind me posting the update here. I'll respond to individuals who have emailed too.

The email that was sent referred to those paying monthly:

'Existing iFollow monthly pass holders will see that no further payment is taken from their account by EFL Digital after 1st July, and pro-rata refunds will be issued to any fan with existing value left in their subscription.'

This does not refer to Season pass holders - who although they buy a 12 month pass - (the product itself is set at 12 months to ensure it covers the whole of the following season for those who might buy for example in May), they are buying for an individual campaign, rather than a calendar year from point of purchase.

Clearly if you buy in September - you'll have a bit less time until the season ends, but ultimately you get the same benefits of access to all live league matches.

It's similar to a season-ticket. You will all pay the same, but someone who buys in May will be a season-ticket for a longer period and have a few more benefits than for those who buy in August.
