Preston North End offer free iFollow service to season card and half season card holders for remaining nine games

The virtual season ticket is as recompense for fans not being able to attend matches which are being played behind closed doors.

All matches will be available on iFollow, even if they are being broadcast on Sky Sports.

Footage will come from four camera angles, with co-commentary provided by former PNE defender Tommy Spurr.

Season card holders will receive a unique code from North End in order to activate their iFollow account.

The club are planning to send those codes out next Tuesday (June 16).

That code can only be activated once on a single device which will then give access to the nine games.

It should be noted that the iFollow service is available on mobile, tablet and desktop but NOT on smart TV.

Once season card and half-season card holders receive their code, they are asked to register on iFollow as soon as possible so to avoid problems when the games start. Those eligible for the virtual season ticket will be contacted via the e-mail address on their account.

Those who do not have e-mail or are not linked to their account by e-mail, will be contacted by phone – via text or a recorded message.

This will ask to provide an e-mail address and will be the only question asked – no other details are requested.

Fans with queries about the service can contact PNE by e-mailing [email protected] or by ringing 03448561966.

Season card holders who have not been in touch by midnight on Sunday, will be sent their unique code through the post.

North End announced last month that they were unable to provide refunds to season card and half-season card holders for the remaining four home games for financial reasons.

They hope that the virtual season tickets for the remaining home and away games, is a way to compensate any loss as well as thanking fans for their support.

PNE will restart the season at Luton a week on Saturday, before hosting Cardiff City at Deepdale on June 27.

Then they host Derby on July 1 – the club’s 5,000th league game – with both those home fixtures being shown live by Sky Sports.
