It won't affect anyone who subscibes to iFollow at all. In previous seasons we have had access to the SWFC provided commentary for home games and the Radio Sheffield for away games, now we will get the SWFC commentary for both home and away. I believe we will now have commentary on the games on iFollow but that will be confirmed tomorrow.
I get the club is looking not to see the revenue it gets from this be reduced but this is cutting off your nose to spite you face!! So many Owls fans rely on the RS commentary for away games first due to us selling our away tickets so quickly usually and secondly because ts the away games and fan don't go to them, but the commentary keeps them intouch with the club as a whole. I can't help feel this will mean some borderline fans stop being fans or stop wanting to go to the odd game.
Don't think the effect on its own will matter much but it just seems a bit petty on the surface.
