Tuesday the 30th.

Fingers crossed that there’s no Storm Sue or Storm Johnny or even a “Hyperstorm” (Sue & Reeds grandson) battering the AA next Tuesday.

A couple or eleventeen (Worzel) of you may have me down as “Doctor Doom” but don’t be fooled by that “Fas(s)aud”… I’m just an aging “Silver Surfer” who wants us to be “Victorious” in every game.
Come tomorrow, and there are just Four Fantastic days to go until we battle the “Galactus” known as Tamworth.

Jimbob, our “Puppet Master” will be pulling the strings as we start to “Klaw” our way back to the top of the table!

When I first saw the title of this thread yesterday and without my glasses on… I ‘mid-read’ it as Pseudo Assets.

The shortest score-cast prices for Saturday’s game:

1-1… 5/1
0-1… 7/1
1-2… 15/2

[Rene Artois]

I watched the first half of Tamworth v Boston and it was poor.
I didn’t bother with the second half – I watched a movie.
Alfreton are my dark horse.

[Rene Artois]

A little of everything in moderation is good for the soul.

Tamworth have being favourites for a while now.

With the points difference, there should be a slightly bigger differential between the two teams.

Still, bookies aren’t known for being charitable organisations lol.

Tom was always an attacking midfielder when he was an academy player he also scored a few goals, as is generally the case (Levi Sutton another) he became defensive cover when injuries force us to use him there.

You’re right. I’ve just seen the highlights of the Hereford vs Kings Lynn game and Pugh looks like he’s playing as an attacking midfielder.

Looked to me to be starting most of their attacking moves and seen him turn and glide past a few players.

Is this the same Tom Pugh that we’ve been criminally using as a limited defensive midfielder ?

Ferrite, watch the highlights. I doubt you’ll believe what your seeing.

Lovely old school ground.
2,500 at the game.
Great strike from Pughy.

[Rene Artois]

I think it was a couple of years ago that I said that if he had a yard or two of extra pace, then he’d be playing at a much higher level.
He’s 23 years old now, no longer a kid.
Time for him to kick on and nail his name to the team sheet as a ‘permanent’ fixture.

The irony – our next scheduled game on NLTV is on Tues 6th Feb against the Spartans.

Ref didn’t want to get her hair wet?

A refund issued within 4 minutes of sending the email request.
Excellent customer service!

[Rene Artois]

AM I ENTITLED TO A REFUND IF MY TEAM’S GAME IS POSTPONED?

Requests for refunds will be considered using the below policy.

To request a refund please use the ‘NL Help’ function on the National League TV homepage or send an email to nationalleaguelive@streamamg.com.

Postponed Matches

If a match is postponed without sufficient notice of cancellation (two hours of the scheduled kick-off time), customers who have indicated they are a supporter of an affected team will receive a voucher code for a free future Match Pass.

If a match is postponed with sufficient notice of cancellation (two hours or more before the scheduled kick-off time), customers will not be entitled to a refund or voucher.

Set up our own online weekly lottery?

[Rene Artois]

Open the bars earlier (any imposed restrictions?) on match-days.

The Licensing Act 2003 was partly to try and eliminate ‘binge drinking’ from our previous ‘stop watch’ drinking culture.

Get them on our premises eating and drinking our food rather than them spending their money in the many other local outlets.

If they are determined to have a ‘good sesh’ then they’ll do so before entering our establishment anyhow.

Pre-Match Prep:
Friday nights at the Iron Bar. It could feature prize bingo, racing nights, pub quiz, karaoke, Scunny’s Got Talent, local club type bands, young bands whom might want to ‘rehearse’ in front of a live audience, open mics, comedy nights.
The ‘entertainment’ can be rotated weekly and could feature a couple of different events each week?
I.e.
bingo & pub quiz
Open mic & comedy club

Just some thoughts on how we can be more of a community club.

[Rene Artois]

Boston did us a favour last night.

Thanks NI.

That sheds more light. Sometimes there’s no one actually to blame.

Just a pity for the travelling support.

Those lads & lasses deserve medals.

[Rene Artois]

Almost a mid winter break.
Now there’s an idea… lol

[Rene Artois]

On Saturday, if we lose at PB Sports and Scarborough win at Banbury, then they’ll leapfrog us in to second place.
We’ve 3 games in hand on them but we’d need to convert those to points.

[Rene Artois]

7 days a week business… I’ve heard that touted many times.

Here’s another idea.

Young Iron Day Care Nursery.

Morning 7:30 – 12:30… £35
Afternoon 13:00 – 18:00… £35
Short Day 8:30 – 16:30… £50
Full Day 7:30 – 18:00… £60

Obviously you’d need trained, qualified staff and the equipment and environment to deliver.

You’d not be making, selling or repairing anything, no stock to check & purchase, no wastage to throw out, no shrinkage from shop lifters etc.

Day nurseries are obviously always going to be needed. Demand for places will continue to rise in the coming years.

It’d generate a guaranteed Mon to Friday income stream.

[Rene Artois]

Ref would have probably arrived at the ‘ground’ about 6:30 to 6:45.
If it was waterlogged, why didn’t she call it off upon her arrival?

[Rene Artois]

Away NLN games that don’t clash with PL games.

£180 for a commercial premise to show the game.

Iron Bar holds 200.

£10 entry = £2,000
£20 beer (a guess) = £4,000
£10 food = £2,000

Income = £8,000

Iron Bar = 200
Exec Lounge = 120
Restaurant = 150

470 potential.
That could generate £18,800 (using the assumed expenditure above).

Money in to our club rather than the oppositions.

[Rene Artois]

Chezzy have a good camera, whatever it is. Great quality video from there.
All 3 games are pretty poor.
Think I’ll watch a film.

[Rene Artois]

Watching Chezzy v Woking on TV
Got Tamworth v Boston on tablet.
And Scarborough have just gone 1-0 up at Blyth Spartans which I’ve got on the phone.
lol

I booked it with NLN TV at 20 past 7, so now watching Tamworth v Boston rather than waste the money

I’m going to message and ask for a refund tomorrow – as I’m now watching Chezzy v Woking.
Not my team, not what I signed up for.
I’ve got Tamworth v Boston on the tablet.
Seems you can watch as many games as you’ve got devices.
Chesterfield have just gone 1-0 up – good free kick.

Arrived ar ground to be told game is off. Ref made the call at 7:30!!!

WTF!

Amateurish. Unbelievable!

[Rene Artois]

Where’s our game gone tonight?
It seems to have disappeared off of the schedule?

[Rene Artois]

FWHST would be for 14 (60%) of the 23 games… obviously a tad more than a half season.

You could do 12 if you wanted to get closer to the actual half season figure – 6 fixtures up to end of Oct and 6 fixtures from beginning of March.

[Rene Artois]

How about a FWHST?

A Fair Weather Half Season Ticket for those whom don’t like the cold, dark, wet winter Saturday afternoons.
First 7 home games of season
Plus
Last 7 home games of season.
Do a bit of ‘dizzy’ (discount) to make it VFM.
