Can’t see any other outcome than us getting the points. The FA rules are pretty clear on this:
“In all cases where the Management Committee are satisfied that a Match was abandoned owing to the conduct of one Team or its Club member(s) they shall award the points for the Match to the opponent.”
Wealdstone were instructed by the referee (after consulting with the PGMOL) to complete the game. They refused. Points to us.

One of their fans was bleating on about 100% foul and penalty (for the challenge where he popped his shoulder).
Well he would have had an exceptionally good view of the incident from his position in the ground wouldn’t he?

Perhaps taking a bigger interest than I should, I looked at Wealdstone fans forum.
Not only are their supporters claiming a penalty they are also claiming that Will Evans stamped on their injured player whilst he was on the floor.
Also claiming a handball leading up to Alfie’s goal.
Incredible eyesight from the other end of the stadium by their supporters, even better than the referee who was yards away.
If Andy Butlers account of events in his interview are true and I have absolutely no doubt they are then we will be awarded the three points without the need for a replay and Wealdstone should not only receive a large fine and point’s deduction, hopefully enough to send them to the bottom of the league.
Tinpot club with a clown for a manager.1 user thanked author for this post.
Woking fan here – obv not at your game but midweek our striker Ashford went down heavily, broke his collarbone and was helped off in huge pain, with gas and air to steady him. No question of our players abandoning the game – it was an unfortunate football injury. We are not alone but we have had several very distressing, career ending injuries over the last few years and never a question of abandoning. I can understand when its a Christian Eriksen type situation ( even that was played though) but this seems absolutely bizarre.
I guess the referees report will be key but haven’t great confidence in the officials or the national League hierarchy to make the correct decision

I’m a Barnet fan. Wealdstone are a horrible club. Every single club I’ve ever seen us play I’m neutral about once the final whistle has gone. Not so Wealdstone.
Wealdstone and Barnet’s grounds are only 9 miles apart but after our uncomfortable experience there ( mum and 2 daughters) it’s the one ground I’d never set foot in again. The one place we’ve visited where misogyny is truly in evidence. But then, they set upon our male fans too, lining up by the exit to see them off, another time waiting for them in the town centre. Then after the final whistle their then manager lead the singing of anti Barnet songs in the club house. Their current manager is one time ex Barnet, when he was with us he fooled some fans by constantly saying how much he cared about his mum. I could imagine him trying to fool the NL board too. I wouldn’t trust anybody from there.
I hope the ruling goes in your favour. You were very welcoming when we visited in Feb 2003 ( even if Barnet spoilt a big night for you ) and have always seemed to be a decent club.5 users thanked author for this post.
Another point. 6 years ago Barnet had an F A Cup tie at Potters Bar Town. Heading towards injury time, Barnet 0-1 ahead when our player suffered a truly horrible broken leg. Treatment on the pitch, oxygen, taken to hospital. We didn’t request the match be abandoned. Our players were distraught. Moments later Potters Bar equalised with their first chance of the match because we weren’t concentrating.
OK, we easily won the replay. But the incident was genuinely traumatic at the time. More so than the Wealdstone shoulder injury sounds to have been.5 users thanked author for this post.
They have to be heavily sanctioned. You can’t just decide not to finish a game after being ordered too just because you don’t feel like it.
The league will surely have to make an example of them to safeguard against any other clubs trying it on.
