Common questions and solutions for the EFL's iFollow service.
I'm a 12th Man member who has received my code for this weekend's home match. What do I do now?
1. Visit the SUFC iFollow website here.
2. Select the fixture at the bottom of the page and click 'Apply'
3. Sign up or sign in to iFollow. If you already have an iFollow account, sign in using your email address and password. If not, create a free account by clicking 'Register Now', completing the form and clicking 'Create Account' at the bottom. It must be via the same email address you have registered with the club for your season ticket.
4. Enter your promo code in the box on screen and click 'Apply' to activate your discount. Your match pass will then be available for free. Please note you will still need to enter your card details in order to process the free match, but don't worry, you won't be charged.
5. Head to the Match Centre and tune in! The link to watch live will appear ahead of kick off on the match centre screen.
We would encourage you to use your code as soon as possible, enabling the EFL iFollow team as much time as possible to help should you have any technical issues.
Please note that your email address and code are unique to you and cannot be used by anyone else.
Only one device can be logged in per iFollow account at one time.
Please note, in order to register an iFollow account, the user must confirm that they are over 18 years of age. If this promotional code is intended for an under 18 supporter, a parent or guardian must register for iFollow and redeem the code, using this email address. This constitutes parental consent.
I'm a 12th Man member but haven't received my code?
If you've not got the code by 12noon on Wednesday, September 23rd, check your junk/spam mailbox first to see if it's there and then please send an email to sufctickets@scunthorpe-united.co.uk.
When does the match stream start?
Streaming links will become available around one hour before kick-off in the Match Centre.
What commentary will be used on iFollow?
The commentary comes from BBC Radio Humberside. If it's an away game, and you wish to listen to Iron-specific commentary from them, please toggle the settings on the right of the video screen and opt for away commentary.
Can you purchase a match pass once the game has started?
No, you must purchase before kick-off.
