Some members have reported difficulties viewing some of the Results pages. The same script handles most Gaffers "data" pages now and it is my intent to make them available as many ways as people would like. I have experimented with my phone and did see the difficulty that some of you may have experienced. During the off-season significant changes have been happening on this website. Results pages are now shown in the full window of a webpage rather than potentially being narrower due to the navigation column that often appears to the left.
It does take a few seconds (sometimes several) for the tabular data to appear after the page descriptive text shows up. In testing I have waited 15 seconds for the tabular data header to show up. It is the same on my PC and can depend on your internet feed, and how busy Google is. Even when the table shows up only the header text is sometimes available.
Switching to landscape mode makes a screen shape that fits the page layout better, but does not always make the table visible.
The minimum table width is sometimes just too small to show anything and you get a white area where the tabular data should be.
However, sometimes it should be able to fit. Often on the Gaffers page there is the page index in the left column. It can be closed by the icon near the top, just above the words "Quick Links". This should no longer be an issue (since December 2020) as the results are now able to use the full window without the quicklinks being present at all.
Turning to landscape mode and rotating to landscape provided a view of the data.
On my Hauwei phone it then looks like this and the "white" area can be scrolled if it is not all visible.
I hope any of you who have experienced difficulties get a chance to try this if you have not already done so.
For those with iPhones or iPads, who might be interested, apparently the Chrome browser is available for those devices and may get beyond some of the issues iLovers experience.

These ideas may not be a solution for all issues viewing this type of page, but do let me (Rick) know if either helps.
