Got no idea how it works just can’t believe he genuinely thought that pitch was playable.
Not sure how it works at that level. Certainly at non-league levels below that, the rule is usually that if a ref turns up and declares the pitch unplayable, they get HALF of their fee, plus all their agreed travelling expenses.

Gianluca Botti gone to undisclosed National South club after a month and a bit at the Pan. Gonna be a long old slog to the end of the season.

I thought he wanted to go to Lewes because thats the only club he wanted to go to all season, except when he went to Whitehawk before, the club which was the only place he was interested in going to all season. Got a bit of the Dan Hardings about him. NOT BITTER.

Yeah, very annoying. Mind you if I had Calvin Ekpitita as my main creator I'd leave. Bit worried Matt Warren will be off next, not been in the team last few games

Such a promising start to the season but Lewes are fading further away from the play offs week by week. I sometimes feel do they actually want promotion

I see this player has played at about 5 clubs in 2/3 years. Looks like has scored goals everywhere. Why do so many non league players move so often. Assume about money. Surely clubs like Lewes sign players for the season

Just been announced he’s signed for Tonbridge. I’ll boooo him for you when I go there with Worthing in a few weeks.

Although he’ll have probably moved by then.

Seems most players at that leave aren’t “signed” with a contract so they come and go depending on who is paying the most or if they’re getting game time

I understand the abolition of replays in the FA Cup, but I feel sorry for Tamworth. They must have lost a bucket from what would have been a deserved re-match.

Absolutely. They should have had a day out at Spurs. Though we do know that to sell their allocation there would have been a ton of Wolves / Stoke / Villa fans from that area tagging along.

Doest’t matter though, if you’re as big as Spurs and you can’t beat part timers over 90 mins you deserve to have your players knackered.

Saw something online saying they’d have made £1m from a replay at Spurs lovely new ground. No idea how correct that is.

It would certainly have been a large crowd. Even hugely reduced prices would have produced a large net profit.

Late, late, LATE, drama as Whitehawk do the opposite of Brighton and come from 2-0 down in the 84th Minute to grab a much much needed point away at Carshalton with a 96th minute equaliser. Absolute scenes for the 10 or so hearty souls behind the goal.

I'd checked the score with about 80 minutes gone and assumed it was going to be a loss. Then was pleasantly surprised to see they'd got a draw!
