At least at this match we can not complain about the ref and our bad luck, I am surprised at the level of abuse Ben Martin gets ,He puts 100% effort in to every game he plays, the manager or this season the 3 different Managers have all picked him to play so he has something to offer the team, Sam is the other player who without, the team would look a lot worse. Never seen him give up or not try. I bet his name is one of the first on the team sheet.

Has been a tough season.
Can we really charge £15 to take on pub outfits next season?
Generating a 7 day income is the only way we can progress.
Knowing smaller teams like Borehamwood and Hemel are above is embarrassing.

Good to hear, they need to be.
Just hope that a 3G pitch can be installed.

It feels like different groups of supporters are now turning of each other. Shame as this is when the club needs a united front and infighting won't help that.
And players offering to fight fans is certainly not the way to beat relegation.

Agreed. Best for everyone to move on from this. Let Allinson take the necessary disciplinary measures and give him a chance to manage. And please also allow players to thank supporters without the personal abuse. I thought at Ebbsfleet there was a much improved link up between players and supporters - let's all please calm down and build on that.

Not saying any of their members were involved at the weekend but how can we speak with 'one voice' with two groups ?

Two groups supportive of each other, pulling in the same direction. They just happen to work on different things. Both do a great job, and have nothing to do with the current problem on the pitch or the isolated incident off it. Hard to imagine but without the work of both we would have been even worse this season.

Not sure where that's come from but couldn't be further from the truth. Several SBYS members are trust members and the trust have always supported the work of SBYS. And that's the whole point - the two work together with the trust focusing on the ultimate goal of some form of supporter ownership of the club if/when needed and SBYS working with community groups and specific fundraising schemes. But both bringing supporters together not creating divisions.

Good to hear, they need to be. Just hope that a 3G pitch can be installed. I'm all ears. Can you explain how a 3G pitch can ever be installed at Clarence Park? Who will pay for the £350k+ cost of installation and who will benefit from any increased revenue? Will the local residents' groups welcome the additional resources or complain about the additional activity?

Lot of them have no affiliation with the area and don't have any goodwill towards the club. Their primary concern is maximising the value of their properties. The club has put in for a 3G pitch, so an idea of funding it must exist. Without a 7 day income, the club will never move forward.

I entirely agree with the need for 3G pitches for all non-league clubs, and a lot of League clubs. What I am currently unable to reconcile is the cost of installation and the financial plight of the club. Someone, somewhere wants to spend not much short of half a million quid on getting a 3G pitch into Clarence Park and the obvious opportunity cost is a new ground. While I agree with your view of the local residents, we cannot deny they are well-organised and have influence over the local council. Something does not quite compute.

He is now one booking away from a two-match ban, or he needs to get through the next four matches without another one before the cut-off point of 13th March wipes his record clean.

Your right as a fan to complain and voice your opinion is on match day left on the field. I don't tend to act as a keyboard warrior slating people all the time and I should think the majority of fans at games and on here know who I am but That is total Bollo*%s a football fan has a right to voice his/her opinion whenever they want especially as a paying customer of a football club
