We ended our 10-match run without a win in style, we played well all over the pitch, some good goals too, particularly Danny Hollands' one to finish it off (looked to me like he meant it).
Wealdstone were decent coming forward, their goal was great play from their winger (although defensively we will ask questions), but defensively they looked dodgy, their keeper didn't have the best of days either.
The ref was IMO terrible again, it was NEVER a free-kick for our first goal, even if it was a great finish by Whitehall, and that was one of several poor decisions, that affected both sides.
Wealdstone were three points behind us with a game in hand before today, with Weymouth losing again it looks like it was another big step in our being nowhere near the relegation zone by the end of the season. Again the home form has been key, I think we've only been bad a couple of times during the season, but obviously the away form needs to be sorted out.
Not sure if the new boss did much with the formation and tactics today, but we looked bright and threatened all afternoon coming forward.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but what's happened to the top half of seating in the green stand?

One good element from today is Bradbury did seem to manage the players more from the sideline during the game. Might stop the drift we have occasionally seen in games.
The stand was damaged in the Southend game with lots of their fans and our fans jumping up and down at the back of the stand. My understanding was those seats were always meant to be temporary and a more permanent structure would be built inside the 'barn' including putting facilities under the seating. But that was when SD was investing. If he comes back maybe...

1. What a class goal from the by-line.
2. Green seats look better like that, it doesn't look so empty.

Have to agree, seats look so much better, looks fuller and the noise will be louder, it’s disheartening when there are so many gaps, maybe keep it like this, obviously seats can be added if needed, just buy some blue ones that are permanent, maybe get temporary ones to go add if capacity needs to go up? Thoughts?

Do what with all that space it would be stupid to leave it like it is. Open up under the seating would certainly be a bonus just needs to be a more solid sound stand then previous/current. Definitely need to give less seating to away fans we must be one of the highest in the league to offer that much seating, all be the All seater grounds. That stand has good acoustic with the size of it so when we are giving just less then half to away teams it certainly benefits them just got look when Southend was down certainly got drowned out by them

Individual executive boxes will fit in nicely, I've already earmarked my 30k for the season after next.

Personally I am a bit of a nomad , stand or sit depending on the day, guessing most people have favoured spot, always plenty of seats available. Tbh I think the amount of away seats is fair, we never seem to fill the rest. If the away fans fill their allocation then fair play, if they request more then tbf if the fans want to sit let them. I would love our section to be packed out, truth is it rarely if ever is. In time though hopefully that stand will be more permanent and full of the facilities that were meant, that would be ace, at the moment it’s a too big for the amount that use it. |

So what's the capacity now half the green seats have gone? We may be close to full for the Stockport match....
