    This league is an absolute shambles. Cannot ****ing wait to leave.

    Honestly the state of that, no consultation with us at all, just told us 5 days (and now 4 days) before the game that the game is being moved. Two fingers up from the league to any fans who have arranged non refundable travel & accommodation :fail:

    They've done that to fit in Gateshead v Aldershot on Wednesday. I'm guessing that's because of the early kick off on the Saturday, which would leave Gateshead with only 1.5 days gap if they played Thurs?

    Either way piss poor.

    I can't believe the NL still come up with this integrity of the competition bollocks. There has been none of that this season.

    They used to front load the fixture list but that seems to have stopped the last few seasons. I don't get why. Used to be something like 7 games per team in August

    Don't know the exact details but the problems seem to been made worse by the construction of the East Stand.

    More like to save us having to travel up to Gateshead on Thursday night, get home stupid o'clock Friday morning, then having to travel to Daggers for an early kick-off Saturday.

    The National League are not letting us sell play-off tickets until our opponent is confirmed, despite the fact we know when and where the game will be and the opponent is meaningless for home ticket sales

    That opponent will not be confirmed until 3 days before our match

    I mean technically Brackley could overtake you if they win 21-0. That’s surely the only logic behind restricting sales?!

    But that would still mean the tickets can come out at 5pm Saturday, we have to wait until the eliminator match the following week

    Not tinpot, but the club attempting to remedy our previous tinpottery. Good stuff, they haven’t wasted any time.

    And yet Gateshead aren't allowed in the league and have been booted out of the playoffs

    Just hope York never win the league, by the time the no9 bus gets out the ground they’ll have been relegated.
