I’ve seen statements from Grimsby Town, Tranmere Rovers, Chester City and Marc White the Dorking owner on tv strongly condemning this. Hopefully the rest of the clubs in the leagues come out and condemn this and with a strong enough backlash from fans maybe the decision to scrap replays can be changed.

I think you’re correct Awaywego, there’s nothing in the rules preventing it unless there’s something in the National League Handbook which gets referenced in the rules but I can’t find it online. I reckon they could start selling after Saturday.
I guess the thing is at the moment, as it stands, if Brackley win their last game and we lose at Gloucester and the goal difference is overtaken then we would finish third. Obviously highly unlikely but I can see why the season has to end officially before tickets can be sold.1 user thanked author for this post.
I won’t pretend to fully understand but I believe numbers in brackets are bad ?
Looks very similar to Scunthorpe Uniteds accounts.1 user thanked author for this post.
They had to stick with Dean once they took over from Hilton. It’s worked on and off, and we should have won this league, I don’t think sacking him when we first started slipping back would have been right and I understand why the board stuck with him, they don’t want to be another Swann sacking managers every 5 minutes. Yes a different manager 3 months ago could have done better, but if they didn’t then the club would be criticised for binning Dean.
Now as we limp into the playoffs (and I think mathematically we could still limp out of them !?) I think Dean needs to get promotion for his own sake or he will have being the manager that couldn’t do it with this squad on his managerial cv.1 user thanked author for this post.
Excellent by Tamworth, they deserve it, took good advantage of our inability to get results.

Least said about today’s Kings Lynn match the better.
Meanwhile Cam Wilson scores and gets man of the match for Scarborough….1 user thanked author for this post.
I’ve now seen all this twitter stuff that is being referenced about the Spennymoor ref.
What a cesspit X is !
The tweet by the club after the result is poor clearly questioning the integrity of the ref- I would say very amateur not what I’d expect from a professional football club.
The responses from a lot of Scunthorpe supporters comes across, at best, as whining and entitled.
There’s someone who has produced a list of ref incidents we have suffered from.
There are others contacting some ref account, I think it’s the ref James mentioned above, and literally trying to get him to block them.
I’m sorry but the Matt Ellis responses don’t look good to me, suggesting there is an agenda against Scunthorpe United.
The whole thing seems to have riled up various rival club fans to either take the piss or tell sufc to get over themselves.
Scunthorpe United are a full time professional club playing in a part time league with a squad of highly paid professional players and when we can’t manage to get a result at Spennymoor start kicking off like spoiled kids who haven’t got their own way and blaming the whole thing on the ref.

You are right it is 99% incompetence, by the refs and the system that runs them. The system for promoting refs isn’t working Les. Someone wanting to be a ref in the football league would actually take years just to get to our crappy NLN level even if they more or less got straight promotions every year. That ref last night either never played or dropped out of playing very young to be a ref, result is that he doesn’t really understand what he’s doing. He knows what gets him the marks to get promoted and goes after getting those marks.

He had to go somewhere, when the club is signing a lad on loan from Peterborough who’s played 1 League game, then Wilson knows he isn’t getting a look in.
I like Wilson and hope he has a good loan spell. Who knows it could be a good move if he comes back match fit for the playoffs.2 users thanked author for this post.
