I’ve emailed them (NLTV) in order to hopefully get a definitive answer.

[Rene Artois]

I’m off to warmer climes for a period this week.

My thinking is that my UK phone with my UK provider would prevent me from watching our games on NLTV?

I’m thinking that in order to watch the games, I may have to purchase a phone & SIM card of the country that I’m in?

Has anyone any experience of this?

Or, do we have any super-tech guys who know the answer?

I’ll check it out using my phone first – if that’s no good, I’ll just buy a local phone to watch the games.

77 points would (90%) guarantee us a place in the play offs.

We are currently on 61 points.

At max, we need another 16 points.

14 games remaining.

We will be in the play offs.

In the stats above (previous post), 72 points has been enough in 7 of the last 11 completed seasons (65% occurrence)

So, even a total as abysmal as 11 points from the remaining 42 points is more likely than not [2:1] to see us finish in the PO places.

[*Y*] As can be seen, we could in theory not win another game all season but still be in the play offs.

And with that stat [*Y*] – we really do need to further ask… what’s gone / going wrong?

At one point we were hydrofoiling the murky NLN waters.
Those waters have become a bog, grabbing and pulling at us and halting our progress.
Hopefully they don’t become quicksand and suck us under.

If I was Pugh, I’d be wanting to go to Hereford on a permanent.

Shrimpton to Gainsborough?

In: peer pressure will see them ‘fall in’ to the ways of the rest of the squad.

Tamworth will be promoted as Champions.
Personally, I hope we don’t finish as runners up or third.
I think those teams that play in the Playoff Semi-Finals have an advantage and are ‘in the zone’

Play offs will be an absolute lottery!

Here’s how one site sees the final table looking:

I take no pleasure from today’s correct prediction.

My ‘money thief’ has us at a lower price for SUFC to win 3-0 (10/1) than for CAFC to win 1-0 (12/1)

After the recent dismal performances, that’s (12/1) a huge price.

1-0… 9/2
2-0… 11/2
1-1… 6/1
2-1… 7/1
0-0… 8/1
3-0… 10/1
3-1… 12/1

0-1… 12/1

Warrington and Brackley are the current form teams, both taking ten points from the last four games.

Head… another 1-1
Heart… 2-1
Gut… 0-1

Three bobs at the one apple… but, if I was forced to have a bet, I’d do the 1-1

Where do we go from here?
As things are playing out, we’ll be in this league next season.
We ain’t good enough and or motivated enough to win the playoffs.
Is there anything going off that we don’t know about as previously hinted at by others?

Second best away team (points) in the league.

They’ll score a goal.

Will we be able to break them down and grab one or even two goals?

NO!

Ten man Tamworth are currently 1-0 up.

Can’t listen to him anymore. He’s giving the Premier League scores out ruining MotD later.

Doesn’t bother me as I’ve no interest in the PL and never watch MotD.

I’ve noticed he only gives scores from other matches when the ball isn’t in play.

Completely against the run of play!

I’m listening to the young man.
He’s excellent!
A bit like John Motson on speed.
He ought to send a few videos off to the BBC… I’m sure they’d snap him up!

Good luck kiddo.
Hopefully they’ll put their trust in you and give you the game time you need.
