You absolutely CAN watch games on the livestream on Saturdays at 3pm. It won't work by doing it normally, but a simple VPN and changing location to say Canada, US or wherever and it works. Did it a fair few times last season.
It didn't impact me going to games, still went to quite a few, but allowed me to watch the games when getting there was just not an option. So it was money the club wouldn't have got as I signed up for the monthly subscription.
I feel like you, and others here are missing the point.
That is - National League TV will not -
for NLS/NLN - be offering the livestream on these games. That means that I (in the US) cannot stream them despite being outside of the area that Article 48 is supposed to affect.
It also follows, then, that a VPN will also not work - there's no actual stream to grab in the first place, so your location (either actual or spoofed via VPN) is entirely irrelevant.
You can watch the normal National League games - this is what I did last season - but our crapness last season means that I have very little interest in paying £160 (or whatever it ends up being) for the opportunity to watch Oxford City vs Fylde.
