Or, of course, York are aware of it and are just messing us around for the sake of it. That seems plausible too, given the Watson situation.

[SouthYorksIron]

I’m even more confused about this Rule 95 now, having listened to Butler’s post-match interview.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0md4xlr?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

Around four minutes in, he explains that Billy Chadwick couldn’t play against either Blackpool or King’s Lynn because York didn’t want him Cup-tied.

The only conclusion I can take from this, assuming Rule 95 exists, is that York City are unaware of it (and Butler too, considering he doesn’t seem to have challenged their reasoning?)

Watson not even on the bench today for York. Recalled to be third choice keeper once again.

Presumably Cup-tied today as he played against King’s Lynn.

Makes you wonder why they’d recall him the day before a game he couldn’t play in though…

The link will be out of date, but the instructions won’t. Basically an online feed provided by the NL rather than the previous YouTube feed. I won’t be bothering myself though…

“Vile abuse” is never acceptable, but if anyone should be prepared for it, it’s a bloke who spent a long playing career glorying in being a wind-up merchant and then followed it by being a dismissive “how many caps have you got?” type on radio phone-ins.

I don’t particularly dislike the bloke, but if anyone’s been asking for it…

Worst one I saw was at Barnsley can’t remember who was in goal but just didn’t see the ball at all when they scored bugger me he to then got a cap from the crowd.

Jak Alnwick. Straight at him from forty yards, and all he could do was flap at it. The sun was blinding from the far right corner that day, and yet didn’t think about a cap till it was too late.

Yesterday was as bad; Rory frequently using his hands to shade his eyes from the sun, but not considering a cap at any point…?

Steve Lister was drinking in the Bridge Hotel after midnight the morning before that game. My mate and I assumed either he was injured or the game had been postponed. Turned out it was neither. Different times…

I enjoyed the half time feature “Rolling with the Stones” about Wealdstone and their ‘values’ just broadcast, seemingly without irony, on DAZN.

Laughable.

I’m guessing it was filmed a while ago.

Can’t find official confirmation, but the last round was shown in full on YouTube, so it would be surprising if that were not the case this time around…

Afternoon, I hope you are all well. I’m trying to fathom dazn and it’s a mindbender. Is it possible to just buy a single game, Brackley in this case, or do you need to sign up for a month? Thanks in advance.

It is now a month.

Initially last season you could pay for a single game by paying for a ‘day’, which allowed access to any games played that day.

The minimum then became a week, towards the end of last season, with a 50% price increase to £14.99 (for some reason the only time I did it, it gave an eighth day, which conveniently included an away Iron match!).

Now the minimum is a month, as you thought, with different prices depending on whether you choose it as an annual subscription, the cheaper option. If you go for the single month option, cancel it straight away – there is a 30 day notice period, which could trick you into paying for a second month if you delay.

The twelve month one-off subscription was discounted a couple of weeks ago at £99.99, which depending on the quality of coverage might be a bargain. Even if not discounted , the basic price was a significant discount compared to paying for the season option monthly. There were major problems with the Tamworth stream though, and it’s too early to guess whether this was a one-off, though my stream for Sutton was flawless…

Given that it covers any game not on Saturday at 3pm, plus those that are on any weekend when PL games aren’t being played (e.g. Tamworth before the PL season started, international weekends – their marketing suggests 20 games per season per club on average), as well as offering on demand coverage of Saturday games from 5.15pm onwards, it might be worthwhile.

Apparently it’s possible to watch all games if you’re overseas, but isn’t necessarily easy to find them if the search function is on the blink.

Anyone still going to the match tonight?

OWS homepage a couple of minutes ago still running a countdown to kick off. Hopefully someone will notice and amend it before you open this link (scroll down a bit)

Slight issue. No biggie. Better to be safe than sorry.

I thought his booking and ‘final warning’ style lecture from the referee probably played a part…

Not sure about other prices, but I know it cost £14 for an early bird OAP ticket in the main stand last season, but is £16 now.

[SouthYorksIron]

Seems to be working again; just bought a ticket for the Halifax game for my Dad in the Fanbase app.

The tickets link on the OWS won’t work now unless they decide to link it to Fanbase at some point in the future, which I doubt will happen if they’re wanting people to use the app for whatever spurious benefits the club perceive – ‘the ability to upsell’ just adds a pointless stage to the process for me when they try to sell me parking despite knowing I already have a West Stand parking pass. That’s not a ‘smoother ticketing journey’ as far as I’m concerned.

Obviously they should now be linking the tickets page on the OWS to an information page about Fanbase, but perhaps that’s just too sensible.

On the fanbase site it tells me that tickets are not available yet for our first home league game if the season. This is only 9 days away!!

I wrote to SUFC a few days ago about this. They have yet to reply.

I won’t hold my breath.

I managed to buy one for my Dad on Tuesday. The next time I looked, they were off sale again.

I’m also unsure about the idea of car park tickets being on a phone app – though we’ll be off the public highway when needing to show them (and so hopefully not committing a traffic offence), the idea of being expected to mess around with a phone with the engine running seems daft – if they introduce charges for cards, these should be exempt.

The Athletic reported that he paid £3. For all of them.

Not once did he refute any of the allegations in their report, and indeed admitted a number of things he’d previously denied once the information was formally in the public domain.

I’m unsure what you mean by “handsome price” in this respect.
