Spennymoor

[Dipdodah]

The League's ineptitude in dealing with problematic clubs cost us 3 points yesterday - not the Boston United XI. Unlucky lads, but you shouldn't have been required to play last night.

Totally agree

According to The Northern Echo newspaper; Spennymoor requested permission from the NL to play their first four home games of the season away from home on  their Agronomists advice. The NL allowed that; apart from the Boston United home Fixture on the 10 August. The National League would not allow that fixture to be played at York Street??

Because it made too many home games on the trot.  With our spate of home games to come,  waste of time really.

Why do you think they took that decision?

Possibly the NL thought 4 away games in a row for them was unfair; coupled with the fact a run of home games would favour us? The request for their first 4 games to be played away was made well in advance of the season starting. So why were we only informed on the 6th of August that our game there on the 10th was off. Their home game with Blyth had already been switched from the 6/8 to 10/9? It looks like the whole affair was handled appaulingly by the NL.

Just watched a 10 minute clip of the game on the Spennymoor Town FC You Tube page. How on Earth we managed to lose the game is a little demoralising. We definately should have won. On to Farsley Celtic and a chance to bolster our away points total. At the moment it's 8 from 27 which is not enough to make the play-offs.
