Weymouth - Promotion Final - 1pm Saturday

[Princespark2006]

Let them be cocky about planning trips to Hartlepool. We’ll stay humble after the wins against Havant & Slough and have big confidence that King and the team will be ready for Saturday. We’ve done incredible things and it’s time to finish the job, COYD

I agree that Weymouth’s big pitch will allow us to play our passing game and allow Jebb / Husin to get on the ball more and lots of space for Wanadio / Marsh Brown

Can some kind fan please post instructions on how to set up streaming this match, ideally at a level a complete technophobe can understand? This is too exciting a match to miss...

Very easy, just go to the National League website and click on the link to order the game.

Getting closer now, who would have seen us in the play off final back in late September last year?
Incredible.
Jumped into the Weymouth fans forum and they are getting ahead of theirselves and talking as if Saturday is a formality for them, we’ll contrast that to our forum. Our feet are firmly on the ground, we can do this, although us fans are not there, the squad need to know that the Dartford army are there in spirit......enjoy Saturday all.

Can i confirm that the £14.99 package I purchased with sportradar will be showing on Saturday for our final.

Or do i need to buy a different subscription for the final.

In response to a couple of things posted elsewhere, the programme for Saturday's game at Weymouth is being produced by the National League not Weymouth.
Club officials are waiting for details on how to buy it.

Thanks for that update Gary. Perhaps the National League will be producing a 3 in 1 Finals programme, which would make sense to keep costs down.

It is getting late into the week, and so far I can find no reference on the national league website to any news of a programme being produced. Looks like they are missing out on a marketing opportunity if they are not promoting its sale online and may be just producing for distribution amongst attendees at the 3 matches.
I guess there is no update Gary from your end, otherwise you would have posted.

If you click on it and "watch now" the rest is fairly self explanatory.
You will need to create an account and pay with your credit/debit card. You can do this in advance of the game.

Come the day of the match, when you click on the link to watch, don't be surprised if absolutely nothing happens making you panic and wonder if it has worked. For the Havant game, broadcasting didn't start until a couple of seconds before the kick off, Slough was just a few minutes earlier. Viewers are treated with the absolute minimum of respect, you're really not sure if you are set and ready to go until broadcasting begins and when it does they just go straight in, no list of teams, players etc. Once going, the camera work is okay and the commentary isn't too bad, at least it's as good as many mainstream commentaries. The first game against Slough was fraught with technical problems and many fans reported having lost the broadcast several times, but as far as I'm aware, it was fine for the Havant game (those who did have problems seem to have been down to users own internet and not the fault of the broadcaster). The camera man did appear to nod off at one point and the camera drifted down towards the floor for several seconds whilst the game went on above it and we did have a few uncomfortably long views of empty terraces as they frantically wiped the rain off the front of the camera, but for the most part it was okay. On the whole, it was watchable and I'm grateful that we have some way to see the games, but I do feel that with 1% extra effort they could make the whole thing a damned site more user friendly. It's not an expensive service I know, but they are charging money for it so they can't expect the same leeway you would give to the enthusiastic amateur filming on his phone, many of whom do a better job anyway. Having said all that, I'll be tuned in again on Saturday and who knows, maybe they'll show the final a little more respect.

Matt Davis (I believe)the Radio Kent commentator drives you up the wall a bit. After going 2-1 up Saturday his first comment was 'Havant have 23 minutes in which to get a goal to take this tie to penalties'. It would have been nice if he'd said 'one more goal from the Darts would wrap it up nicely'. But no, slightly irking from your local Radio representative. But then when the Darts revival in the league took 3rd, 4th 5th place in importance for much of the season what did I expect?
Great when his mic faded away for most of the second half but he made an annoying comeback late on.
But apart from the freeze in the first game at Slough I found the sportsradar link adequate.
Looking forward to Saturday
