The registering and buying a pass bit is straightforward.

Once you have done that the link may be accessed in various ways. I find the BAFC site iFollow | Next Match route the easiest. (The direct URL tomorrow is https://www.barrowafc.com/matches/fixtu ... 17-oct-20/)

The link becomes active between 40 and 90 minutes before kick off. You should get the BBCRC commentary by default; in case of problems there is a Settings 'cog' icon where the commentary source may be changed. Next to it there is an option to maximise the screen and lose the menu at the top.

To an extent, the rest depends how you intend to watch.

IFollow has worked well for me......up to now!
On the silk browser (Amazon fire stick), just getting 'the circle'. On the iPad only getting the home broadcast (no 'cog' to switch to away)!

I'm done with this for away games although I have rural broadband. Never a problem for home games. A wasted £10 for a circle.

Same here. It's worked for the last 4 league games. Had a black page, tried another browser, same thing. Restarts etc eventually got a frozen picture with a spinning circle. Not happy

Never saw any part of the game, just as well by the sound of it. Not impressed with iFollow this afternoon or their response trying to sort it out.

It's fine when it's working but if there's a problem forget it. I'm done for away games, got nothing all game so listened to a bit of commentary which is not what I pay for.

Took me a while to get in but once I was there was no problem. Cleared my cache which I think helped. Perhaps also think about downloading a new browser.

To answer your question....NO. I had all kinds of problems a couple of weeks back and tried everything and with all sorts of suggestions from forum users. I sent them an email and got a reply 1 WEEK LATER. I then tried using that stupid robot thing .It left a message on a black background and my phone froze !!!! I decided to uninstall the Barrow website then reinstall it. Then re registered and that worked....for now. But I had to delete the cache first. This was on my android, not a computer by the way. Not sure if that's any help to you or anyone else.

You need an HMDI lead from laptop into telly hdmi point
Select tv input and select hdmi input if modern tv you will have a few hdmi points so just need to select correct one

Good luck - hope it works Tuesday
