Nice on Luton!

Just noticed K*ttering have conceded 60 goals already this season. On course to go way over 100.

I've not seen it myself, but Azza had a shirt tribute towards Dale today.

If I were a K*ttering fan tonight, amongst a whole lot of other things, i'd be very concerned that the XI that started the game should have at least been able to compete today. No youth team players, they've got their hero Marna back from Corby and in the side, and yet they're still absolutely decimated. Clearly I haven't seen any of their games but it sounds to me like the players just don't want it.

"We support a local team"
"You travel 15 miles to watch this shit?"

and when at Kenilworth road - "our bench is too big for you"

Looks like they don't have much time left and if the embargo isn't lifted then that's game over, does anyone know what would happen if they failed to field an 11, kicked out of the league?

A match isn't abandoned until you're down to 7, so are you allowed to start with fewer than 11 men as long as you have more than 7?

This is desperate measures......
Some suggestions on Poppynet to get the next home match abandoned:

Every supporter brings 100 red, black and White balloons to the next game. We blow them up and make the match a farce as balloons impede the game!

We arrange to somehow waterlog the pitch, anyone got a fire engine we can borrow to water over the roof.

:shock:

Yeah you can start a game with a minimum 8 players. IIRC Gillingham started a game about 4 years ago with 9 men due to traffic problems then when the two named starters arrived then came straight on.

Yes I remember that Gills game. Was away at Orient. Think Jacko was one of the players to turn up late.
