I don't get this disdain for Dorking, they were pushing and pulling us in both matches but you do what you can to win. It's us that got reds in both games and in all honesty both sides were diving around in the home game. Their manager admitted their man should've gone in the home match and Linney deserved to go as well. Wilson was also completely in the wrong at Dorking and deserved a red. If we can't handle those tactics it's on us.
What happened at the away game reflects poorly on the club and has damaged our reputation. There's nothing wrong with a bit of back and forth but the line was crossed last weekend and I can't help but think that's it's been fuelled in part by this bizarre grudge some of us have manufactured off the back of these games.
Passed its pitch inspection. Unfortunately
With this weeks wipeout it’s impossible to call yet. And we might lose Fylde v Gateshead this evening yet with a pitch inspection scheduled for 11am
If we win both of our remaining games - and Solihull don't win both of theirs (bearing in mind they have Bromley away on Saturday) - then we'll finish 5th.
That's assuming Gateshead don't collapse.
We'd also need ONE of Halifax, Gateshead or Bromley to drop sufficient points (as outlined above), otherwise we'd be 6th.
It is just passion nothing more nothing less. I shout and curse when I go to Alty, but I do return to normality after the game is over,. If you want to avoid the shouting and cussing then I suggest going to the Opera.
I've commented on this on the FB page but you if you share with an RL club, a sport which can be played on a surface which would be classified as waterlogged for footballing purposes, you're asking for trouble. It's not a matter who your landlord is, if you want to be taken seriously as a professionally run football club you make provision. There's no way the NL will or should allow special dispensation. If you can't stage the fixture you forfeit the points, a basic rule from Sunday League to Premier League.
Solihull 2-0 Ebbsfleet now. Fairly weak deflected shot. Can't see Fleet coming back now - looks like all three points going to Solihull. Alty down to 5th.
