Does make me laugh this poll

10% of fans voted to play with no keeper

this must be a mistake shrimpergonzo you have named 5 ON THE BENCH [lol]

And that didn’t include JD who I think may get left out to concentrate on coaching duties - heady days!

Unless they voted for Gus “clean sheet” Scott-Morriss to be in goal of course!

Any idea why we are the only game this weekend. Bit odd for a Saturday

We were both knocked out of the Trophy early.

It's not up to the NL - it's the law

And which law would that be ,pray tell?

 

[Holy Joe]

And which law would that be ,pray tell?

What is the Saturday TV football blackout law in the UK and why does it exist?

THERE’S nothing more frustrating than finding out the team you support is being broadcasted live on TV – unless they lose of course. The TV football blackout law was introduced before t…

So we have an arse in goal and no miley ?,

We’ve not had an arse in goal since flav flirting with the south stand every goal tick!

I also think Kev might err on the side of caution with Cav and not start him tomorrow.

As I say if Kev asks are you ready, Cav says yes, and the physios happy then he may well come straight back in

The NL Streaming schedule currently only shows games for Tuesday night. So it's very likely that a weekend overseas will be called for to watch this on your screens.

I seem to recall that the Blackout is in effct i 50%+ of that weekend's PL and Championship fixtures are at 3pm Saturday.

Go on then, I'll buy it, who is Colon?

Not sure about Colon but the prospect of a full bench is giving me a semi!

Back on topic I hope that everyone’s expectations, both for the game and season, are managed. 3 points would be fantastic today, a point more than acceptable and a defeat not a disaster. The future is very bright but it may have to start tomorrow.

Having said all that COYB!

Interestingly, was at the Thundersley house of a friend of a friend the day of the Darlington Trophy game last season.
He reckoned I didn't need to go out in the cold because he had a device, some sort of Firestick, that could tap into EVERY game with any kind of broadcast.
He then demonstrated its power, and yeah, lined up were dozens of games ready to broadcast.
Illegal, I imagine, but he reckoned his subscription to this service was worth it.
BTW, I did go to the game.

For about £4 a month annually if you have had your firestick " adapted " you can watch anything anywhere apparently. Dont think its legal but so tempting when I look at my combined £100 a month Sky/BT bill

Already in the spoons by Eastleigh station

I don't think promoting illegal activities is a good look for you young man.

You need to be aware the money for pirating, illegal streams and the like goes to criminal gangs who are up to all sorts including terrorism so ultimately your "Friend" is funding this, as you are indirectly.

I have said my piece, not the mods can deal with you however they see fit (reckon a 30 day ban will be suffice).

 

[BriggBlue]

Dunno if anyone knows this, I'm going to miss the game, can I watch a full replay on the streaming service if I'm "abroad" later this evening?

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Eastleigh are priced at 3/1 on Livescore. I thought that was a huge price baring in mind our away record isn't great and they have 22 goal goalscorer in their ranks. Must have factored in their minds being on their replay and that we have Gus
