Great game and day out, fantastic to see the fans back. We win that 3/4-1 with Hannigan in defence and Moult in his usual position. I really hope that late winner was one of those 'turning point' moments and we can kick on from here. Tightened up in the right areas, with a bit of added quality from another summer of good recruitment, and we can kick on next season.

Only small gripe was the overly abusive heckling of the Yeovil keeper. I'm no stranger to having a bit of a pop at a player but that was seriously tedious and as mardy as it'll sound, it went into the realms of verbal abuse for me. What I've always loved about the Golf Road End is you'll get an intelligent quip or heckle shouted at a player that deserves it. Continually shouting nonce and paedo at the keeper is very basic and not what we should be about. Happy to put it down to first-game-back day out mentality but if that's going to be the norm next season I'll be really disappointed.

Sad to hear such stories as no place for that sort of heckling... as you say, good to have bit of banter or a little pop here & there, but above is a step too far... thankfully didn't notice any similar heckling from Chequeres End where i was...

It was a great day, great result, & brilliant to have fans back... that's what i'll remember about the game... COYR!

Fans are back!

I wasn't stood behind the goal and didn't participate in or condone any abuse of the keeper, but in fairness, with his antics he hardly helped himself. Gesturing at the fans and yelling, '"I'm loving it' when they went 3 2 up was hardly endearing himself to them, was it?

Going to have to agree with Andrew, it was tedious

He got dogs abuse from the moment he jogged towards the goal for the start of the second half. I agree he did nothing but encourage it but he was well within his rights to give a bit back, especially at the point of going 3-2 up! I'd have been doing a knee slide and all sorts.

He got some general light hearted banter and stick from the Chequers and engaged with it.....anything else over and above this and constant verbal abuse of an unsavoury nature is not on and is an embarrasment to the club....he is just a fella doing his job which is being a goal keeper

Calling him a see you next Tuesday every other minute. Calling him a peado, asking if he touches up children.

All unecessary, I'd rather we were a bit smarter and quicker witted than that, or just sang. It was loud for 200 people on that terrace.

The heckling of the goalkeeper, encouraged non regulars to join in, when they were shouted down, it ended very unsavoury in an assault after the game had finished.

You would quite possibly have sunk about 2 feet if you had of done a knee slide in the soggy golf road corner 😉

If you dish it out, you've got to be able to take it back. However, calling him a paedo shows a distinct lack of class. I remember being uncomfortable when Alty fans referred to a short Chester player as a  'dwarf-midgit' a few years ago. There has to be a line really.
