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…

Link relates to the first set of games:

I’d have been more convinced about their players’ ‘frame of mind’ if any of them had shown the slightest concern for his plight while he was being treated.

Anyone know if tomorrow’s game on DAZN is viewable to UK subscribers given there’s no Premier league matches on at 3pm? I’m assuming it will be accessible?

Yes. It’s in the listings in the app.

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.

Hilton did pay for the shares all 401,036 of them and an handsome price he paid as well.

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.

Without wishing to defend the Telegraph too much (the online coverage is appalling unless you’re interested in who’s died recently or where mobile speed cameras will be), the print version does still offer some coverage, albeit not much.

For example, this week, in advance of the playoff final, there was a single page, mainly about Danny Whitehall.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to access it through library services – in Doncaster, BorrowBox provides free access to the Scunthorpe Telegraph and many other local and national newspapers – I’m not sure whether the North Lincs Library version mentioned above would do (it’s only recently appeared on BorrowBox).

Bad debt could also be a purchase of something that can never be repaid.

It can, but in the case of a debtor going bust there would be invoices with precise figures on them – the chances of those adding up to such an exact round figure are so slim as to be infinitesimal.

Accountants tend not to round up figures when there’s documentation that allows a precise figure to be traceable and more easily audited.

What was the official reason for only being able to pay for season tickets with cash again??

To be fair, that was one of the few plausible things he ever said – if it’s necessary to lodge a large deposit as security for the facility to collect upfront payments, it rather defeats the object of collecting those payments upfront, especially at a discount.

Bear in mind the same restriction applies this year, so presumably current management think likewise.

*Not disputing ironfromafar’s earlier calculation though!?

[SouthYorksIron]

Weirdly, having paid for last week’s game, it’s letting me watch this one too, but only on iPad. When I try to watch on the TV app, it tells me I have too many streams, even when I switch off the iPad.

iPad it is then! Unexpected bonus, having not been able to find anywhere to pay for the night’s match..

[SouthYorksIron]

Annual pass is £189.99 or £16.99 per month. Are you sure that special offer isn’t for the main DAZN offering (boxing, not including PPV)?

NL North/South fixtures aren’t guaranteed to be on either; presumably we’re on most of the time because we’re ‘massive’. Most fixtures in the division aren’t shown.

Different matter next season though if we can get up…

[SouthYorksIron]

On the plus side, if you can’t get to the match on Saturday either, it’s just been added to the schedule (presumably as it’s an international weekend).

For one week only (except perhaps Easter weekend), an effective discount!

The Iron Trust accounts for the last year show expenditure including £6000 purchases of club shares . Those accounts are dated 31.8.24, so it is quite possible that further share purchases have happened since then.

That they have not yet been properly registered is not the Trust’s fault.
