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.

Well, when the league finally gets round to considering our suspended games then if they decide the Eastleigh game must be replayed , then Wealdstone will almost certainly argue that today’s should be as well. You could not make this shit up!
Completely different scenario to the Eastleigh game. The referee made the decision to abandon that game, and rightly so. This game was abandoned solely because Wealdstone refused to play. Forfeit game, 3-0 win incoming.
Different organisation (and we know how shambolic the National League are) but similar to when Romania were awarded a 3-0 win versus Kosovo because Kosovo players refused to play after receiving abuse from the crowd.

Well there you have it. Butler confirmed on radio that the ref and League wanted the game to continue and Wealdstone refused to play on. Anything other than an incoming 3-0 win will be absolutely ludicrous!

Think the pattern has already well and truly emerged, every goal we’ve conceded this season in the league has been from a high ball (cross or throw) into the box…with the majority being to the back post.

Agree with Cass, JB won the header and their player came steaming into him. Very fine margins but was definitely late and would have been a foul in our favour. Very glad to hear that both players seem to be on the mend as the scene after the clash was quite disturbing and like nothing I’ve seen on a football pitch before.
JB was excellent at right back, Ewing is on another level compared to the rest. Thought Watson played well. ANOTHER goal conceded from a cross into the back post…definitely needs sorting out pronto (pretty sure that every goal we’ve conceded in the league this season has been from a high ball into the box).

Another clean sheet? Haven’t had one yet!

Butler’s comments don’t really bother me, and nobody is going to be staying away because of them. As Awaywego mentions he’s shown throughout his tenure that he’s clearly a prickly character who gets easily riled up whenever criticism heads his or his players way. If anyone who ever had anything negative to say online stayed away then we’d quickly be back down to the 1500 club.
But regarding that criticism, how/why is he seeing it unless he’s trawling through FB/X/Bru? It’s definitely not vocalised from the stands inside the stadium, so unless someone is trawling social media and creating a “criticism dosier” to feed back to him, then it’s pretty easy to just ignore SUFC related stuff on FB/X/Bru.
