ifollow economics

That cuddly Robbie Cowling from ColU has pulled back the curtain on their iFollow numbers:

For those with short attention spans (or too busy setting up sock-puppet online accounts) here are the basics:
- Home team keeps all revenue from ifollow purchases PLUS the first 500 made by away team fans.
- The net revenue to clubs from each iFollow purchase looks to be about £8.50 (think of that the next time you use a shonky pirate feed)
- Smaller clubs with low away mobs get absolutely shafted by the breakdown of iFollow revenue.

At what point will football players realise that their golden goose is constipated?
