Are people just frustrated that they can’t post a screenshot of their ticket on their social media?
I think it’s more generous than that – ie. it’s an awareness of the (admittedly short term) undue strain this is likely to put on club resources, plus the hassle involved for those people who don’t buy digitally having to go down to a very busy club office within a very limited timeframe to, probably, queue for ages.

It’s possible that those from recent years might be the subject of gagging orders. Surely any manager between Laws and Nelson (inclusive) will have tales to tell if able. (Maybe leave out those that would send the crowd to sleep before they got to the interesting bits. You know who I mean!)
There was the sense (during Laws’s bit at the Kevin Keegan event) that he was unable to talk about the Peter Swann years, so I suspect you are absolutely correct about NDAs being in place.
Turnbull only half-heartedly tried to draw Laws out on Swann, and it was obvious this was more Turnbull putting Laws on the spot to make him uncomfortable for a laugh between them.
It was also equally clear that there was plenty Laws could say about Swann but wouldn’t, or would say about Swann but couldn’t.

Hopefully no injuries and or red cards in the last 2 fixtures
I think the worst case scenario would be Whitehall getting injured or suspended and having to play Elliott in the play offs.
Start with Whitehall on Saturday, go for it from the off, and once it’s clear we’ve won the game take him off. Then don’t play him at Gloucester.

If it goes in our favour there’ll be plenty of Hand Solos.

10 (seats) x 23 (games) x 18 (terrace price) = £4,140
I’d say 3k is a massive undersell.

Anyone else sick of his embarrassing antics? That trap door that seemed to launch him not long after he came on must surely be dug up from the pitch. If he put half the effort he puts into cheating into motioning towards the ball in the box he might actually become a good player, as it is he just waits for the ball,1st thing you’re taught not to do.
Despite the fact he’s scored quite a few goals this season I think Whitehall has suffered from playing as a lone striker. The JD system highlights the shortcomings in his game (including what you mention) when, actually, there’s a very good player in there.

I reckon when you consider the recent online behaviour of our fans this twitter post has to be considered extremely irresponsible
It’s also highly unprofessional. I expect more from my football club, even when passions are running high.

What you mean blokes pushing 60 not wanting to risk getting battered by a load of drunk (quite possibly coked up too nowadays) fitter youths / young men? Get real! I’ve already said I’ve made remarks in the past and got punched for it. Maybe time for younger guys who heal quicker and better to start saying something? Or better still, for the perpetrators to learn some respect and civility? Too much coke and drink flying about these days, as frequently glorified or humoured on the Facebook page.
It’s not just a punch-up anymore, it’s the risk of a knock-over and repeated head-stamp, too.

To disallow that goal last night in my opinion was more than just incompetency, he saw something which didn’t even happen. It’s surely impossible for a ref to a get a decision so wrong and just chalk it down to a human error.
Butterfield was a a few yards away from their GK when he slapped the ball into his own net !
Just looking for the possible explanation with the least edge to it, for the sake of everyone’s sanity…
I’d suggest that because he didn’t have a clear view (ie. sight of the keeper was obscured by Butterfield’s back), when the keeper went down seeming to have been fouled then the referee had no option other than working on the balance of probability that he had. The lino might have been able to clarify, but perhaps he didn’t have a clear view either.
In the non-VAR leagues, who does the rule book favour in these situations?
