I think it was on Twitter – National League Saturday games will be available to international punters (or VPN users) but NLN & NLS will not. Shame but cannot expect much else at the level we are at now.

Just out of interest IB what is it you are wanting Iron fans to do about this information you share with us?
No they will be on http://www.nationalleaguetv.com
I think you will be able to get the evening games and Bank Holiday games but not the Saturday 15:00 games except International break weekends.
They show National League Saturday 15:00 games for international subscribers but seems they are not going to do this for NLN & NLS.

I saw it and you are correct in your assumption, IA.
In fairness, I left the moderators with little choice when I asked MK IRON to clarify which surname the Ilkeston fans were happy with. Rest assured there’s no need for 64 to panic, he’s in safe hands with me.
I called him David Hilton and they all seemed to know who I meant.
Possibly starting to see Dean’s thoughts on his first 11.
Only Denton, Boyce and Wilson from the Ilkeston starting 11 in the first half team this evening. Still too sharp for Trinity and while they didn’t create an awful lot they didn’t give the opposition much of a sniff. Clunan and Kelly came on at half time and the Iron started to dominate. Ogle played 1st half but understandably rusty and a bit off the pace.
While each second half substitution seemed to strengthen the Iron the opposite happened to Gainsborough. Some decent play in the second half and Chapman not really having to make a save.
Decent performance but it will be interesting how well we compete from Saturday onwards when we start playing against full timers.
Obviously Humberside Sport keep an eye on Bru. No mentions for the Iron for weeks and all of a sudden we have a preview of tonight’s Gainsborough friendly.
Glad they have realised we are still here.
Choosing which media he engages with and ignoring the mainstream media.
Who does he think he is? A Tory Prime Minister?
Just for info our last Chairman banned the local paper for years.

Thanks for the umpteenth rehash of your “He used to be the Devil” story.
If you think Hilton has done anything illegal then take your evidence to the police and have done with it.
My only interest in David Hilton is in what he has done and intends to do as owner of our football club.
The reason I went to Ilkeston on Saturday was to judge for myself his past history and record as an owner of a football club. Everything I saw and heard in that regard was 100% positive. If that does not fit the narrative and agendas of the cult of anti Hilton I don’t give a monkeys.
Does our local radio cover the Iron anymore?
Not seen anything on their Twitter account about us for weeks. Plenty about Hull rugby league teams and the region’s 2 EFL teams during that time.
Is Ollie still with them or did he fall victim to the recent cull at the BBC?
Only one tweet from him re the late accounts filing since early May.
I don’t know who owns the Ilkeston ground but according to supporters it was in a poor state and the club had significant debts when Hilton stepped in to rescue them. Their words not mine. They became debt free, improved the ground, installed a top end 4g pitch and managed a couple of promotions under his ownership of the club.
Same again please Mr Hilton – except the 4g pitch needs to be at a training facility if we are to return to the EFL.
The Ilkeston folk don’t seem to mind that he changed his name or briefly worked as a debt collector.
There is a genuine and obvious warmth from their fans towards their previous owner. Mind you if our previous owner was to visit us many fans would like to shake him warmly by the throat.

White did which he said was his original name. Legally changed for personal family reasons. Denied Anderson had ever been used by him.
Care to share why this is relevant?
It never ceases to amaze me the level of arrogance by those who tell others how to behave towards a subject which they have demonstrated they know nothing about.
The irony is staggering from the only person on the forum that knows the truth about the “devil”.

Your wanting one for your mate IB I’m guessing.

It was difficult to tell which of us liked him the most IA.
Good day out. Many thanks to Patrick for his hospitality and arranging the tour of the ground. Awaywego had to do my tour as I was a bit late and Patrick was in great demand getting the 3 excellent catering outlets ready.
Nice ground and set up so no wonder the Ilkeston fans rightly proud of what Hilton helped them create.
We even turned up and played a bit of football. Awaywego and I even had a chat with Hilton about our mutual respect for the previous owner. Very personable guy on that evidence.

Hard to tell in a ground you have never been in but I would say disappointing numbers of both home and away fans.
I’m guessing 12 – 15 hundred.
750
Bit harsh on the Holy Blues AA.
Thank you Patrick for your kind offer particularly after the abuse you received from 2 or 3 of the arseholes that inevitably turn up on every open forum.
The majority of Iron fans are very decent people but our sense of humour has been stretched to the limit by Peter Swann’s antics over the last 5 or 6 years.
I am coming over Saturday and should be able to rearrange some family stuff I had planned for the morning to get there before you get too busy. Be good to meet Awaywego as well having occasionally shared a bit of banter with on here.

Such a joy to post on here these days.
Anyone know the collective noun for a bunch of arseholes?
1 user thanked author for this post.
I believe Patrick did say there is a large clubhouse which welcomes away fans.
Perhaps Patrick or another friendly Ilkeston fan could confirm?
Couple of other queries regarding the ground. What’s the situation regarding parking. Best places and cost.
Most importantly given the weather forecast what are the chances of Iron fans being able to watch the game under some cover?
Not me just trying to be helpful.
Possibly Ogle, Pugh and Sembie-Ferris who have not featured in friendlies yet.
Have been reported as carrying knocks.
Bru membership isn’t a prison sentence, last time I checked
It has felt a bit like one at times recently Deery.
Almost a relief to have some sh1te football to talk about again.
Kieran Maguire – “I don’t want to sound all ITK and all nudge nudge, wink wink.”
That jobs already taken IB.

Had a quick listen to The Price of Football. Learned nothing other than the 2 presenters think Swann and Hilton should be talking and resolving things professionally rather than making statements on fan forums or social media platforms.
I don’t think many fans would disagree with that view.

Chapman gave away their second goal with a lazy clearance under no pressure.
Like so many players over the last 5 years or so he looked a much better player once he left Glumford Park.
About the same Cass. At least he (allegedly) claims he meant Swann and not fans.
Never got a disclaimer or apology from Cygnet or Swann.

Let’s hope Hilton doesn’t spend all the club money & then jog on. It won’t be his own money that he has spent.
Not sure where Hilton found the secret stash of “club money” he gets to run off with. Pretty sure Swann left him with fairly massive debts. The club was within hours or certainly days of administration when he came in. He might have been a bit late paying some of the debts but I think we can safely say he has been spending a lot of his own money since he arrived.
