It’s far easier to lose custom than build it up.

Please let it be Chippenham. Please let it be Chippenham. Please let it be Chippenham.

Dorking cancelled any home end tickets with incorrect addresses on them, but then released another 200 away tickets giving them first dibs. With a 3000 capacity, little room for expansion and mostly ground standing, promotion would be a challenge.

I’ve often wondered if there is a precedent for a player being arrested and prosecuted for on field violence. There must be a point where FA rules give way to the law.

Attendance 2460 at Maidstone, with one Bath City fan spotted in the main stand.

Looking on Football Web Pages the top half of the table mostly won, with maybe four strong teams who could win the league. With many top teams due to play each other soon, nobody can afford to drop points.

Billericay have held Havant, Maidstone and Ebbsfleet to draws recently. Not bad for a side bottom of the table. They‘re a tough side and really should escape relegation if Braintree or Welling slip up.

Ebbsfleet aren’t a bad side, but their passing football isn’t going to get them out of this league. Don’t think they had a shot on target. One of our best performances I’ve seen, but let’s see how long this unbeaten run can continue.

3001 watched Maidstone thrash Ebbsfleet 4-0, including ~300 visitors. If we’d allowed them the 500-600 they said they could bring, we’d have beaten the 3200 who turned up at Gillingham, three divisions above.

If they continue to progress well in the league, you have to think Dulwich have outgrown their new ground before it’s even been built for them. According to my Facebook feed, a lot of that Chatham crowd were disillusioned Gillingham fans, tired of paying £26 for relegation football.

Some big attendances below the National League at the moment.

Maidstone United go top after six wins in a row. Still think Ebbsfleet will be there or thereabouts at the end.

Yeah. I’d take a mediocre Southend right now, just as our form is improving. A cup run would be nice, but the very strong NLS is more important.

Don't wish to intrude on private grief, but a friend who was there said their behaviour was appalling and violent. When I moved to Kent several decades ago, Gillingham were your archetypal lower league club in a ramshackle stadium. They were also broke and being perused by some chancer posing...
