Please not another postponement, ....... And a better picture from ifollow would be nice too. Was I the only one with a worse than usual picture quality for the last match?
I watched the Bradford game on the computer and thought it was very sharp, and I do enjoy the replays. As for another postponement I wouldn't be surprised, saw their highlights on Quest from Saturday and it looked as they had been ploughing up the area to the right of the camera

It happens sometimes. Three possible solutions 1) hit refresh 2) close the tab and start again 3) try a different browser.

There is a thread on iFollow that is worth reading and putting comments on, rather than fill the match day thread.

I've found the picture in ifollow a bit more iffy recently.

I think it is to do with the overall increase in internet traffic, I suspect there are nodes in the system that are struggling to operate at the required data rate.
I had this problem against Carlisle; early on in the second half it looked as if the camera lens was all misted up and it stayed like that for the rest of the game. But it was fine against Bradford. I think you have correctly identified the reason why..

The image has been fine for me every game this season so I disagree about the traffic issue. Keep your browsers update, have a half decent connection (possibly a challenge in some areas!) and there shouldn't be a problem..

I use Chrome then plug directly into my 58" telly via my laptop (rather than a dongle) and it looks great.

12 Noon, not 12pm. I love Barrow already!
snow forecast at 8pm for two hours. Best time of the day in Barrow is 5pm - cant they just bring the kick off forward?

The traffic issue will hit people differently depending where you are. Some people will get excellent pictures.

If this carries on they really are going to be struggling to get their games in. I can see them playing Saturday - Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday at the end of the season.

Seems to be taking a while. Hairdryers out on the pitch?
