On the first Saturday, for example, Sunderland fans have to travel to Cardiff and Portsmouth fans have to travel to Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 If this is indeed the case, then at least it means Saturday games will kick off at 3pm which is much better for the travelling fans. I am presuming that National League TV will still be around for midweek and international weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am presuming that National League TV will still be around for midweek and international weekends I wonder if they will just put the whole thing through National League TV. Personally I quite like the idea of us having games going through one of the sports providers. I'm not going to get to games away at places like Ebbsfleet or Sutton so it gives me the chance to see them on a Saturday evening/lunchtime. Plus it's away of promoting football at this level to a wider audience so it's I hope they find a TV deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 That would be a shame. Presumably the new EFL deal a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Lincoln are streaming their pre season friendlies live for a small fee (including v Latics). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often run the risk of missing the last train back if the ground isn't central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am presuming that National League TV will still be around for midweek and international weekends I imagine the viewing figures are poor on TNT for this. I think Wrexham would have given them a bump with all the interest from the TV show but is anyone tuning in for Barnet vs Gateshead for example, especially if there is a PL game on the other channel. Would be good if someone like DAZN or another App picked it up. It would make sense for them as it would be cheap and they can build their client base.

Roger Ritchie Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Don't know why I said Client base instead of subscribers. Everyone email Help@DAZN.com and get them to pick it up and give us a cheap introductory offer for supporting shit football leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much hope or optimism from our fan base for the upcoming season is there. It’s like chalk and cheese compared to our reactions this time last season.

Really is shit. As fans we are never consulted and have to accept whatever this shit league decides. If you want to get to Rochdale by 12.30 then I'd suggest setting off late morning. Why's this any different to any team 2.5 hours away from Oldham having to play at BP at 3pm? The games have been moved on police advice, not because the league has demanded it. And we've had plenty of 3pms vs Rochdale over the years, I'd imagine the biggest issue was 'fans' acting like thundercunts at Spotland last season. Not the NL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True about the thundercunts.....new one for me that but quite like it.....but it still means an early start for me from Surrey for 2 games!
