Re: Banbury Utd - away

Just hope after last season's fiasco we get decent notice of any fixture postponement. The weather is not looking very good at present

Re: Banbury

The only other time I can remember getting as close to an away game that was subsequently postponed, was a match at Cheltenham a few years ago when an icy strip near a stand didn't thaw in the expected sun. That also was a very long abortive journey which was made even more irksome when I found out ...

Re: Attendance

Bur regarding the original question, what arrangements are in place - if any - for anyone wanting to attend the friendly matches at Newton Aycliffe, Tadcaster etc. Not likely to be big attendances of course, but a similar match at Scarborough last year was "all ticket"?

Looks like this may help to resolve the need for the regular testing of employees. Perhaps a local company could offer access to lateral flow tests as part of some sort of sponsorship arrangement?

Excellent news, the FA have at last done us a favour,
Has nothing to do with the FA?

Was a decision by the league board.

Re: Spennymoor Away

For what it's worth I was within earshot of the guy organising the stewards at the bottom end of the ground well before kick off and he was telling them that only disabled and those who would not be able to stand were allowed to sit in the limited seating at that end of the ground.

Re: Spennymoor Away

There was some terrace standing space available near the seated stand end of the ground. Awkward single file step access though from near the TV gantry. About 15 minutes before kickoff, stewards walked down this section offering supporters seats in the - under-populated - section of the adjacent sta...

Re: King’s Lynn

Wonder if this is a missed opportunity? Apparently (and unusually) Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland all away that weekend. Maybe we would have got a bigger crowd on the Sunday if Saturday was impossible?
Also better for fans who travel long distances.

I wonder if this is the start of Gateshead being pulled apart. The owners want out and say they have been talking to some interested parties but there's no news yet.
