Leatherhead and Dulwich have got to replay their game that was abandoned last week......Dulwich were, of course, winning 2-0 with 5 mins to go.

As much as it may work in our favour, I'm not sure I agree with the decision. It is Leatherhead's responsibility to ensure that their ground is structurally sound, and they have potentially gained an advantage by having an unsafe ground. I also remember that a few years ago, the floodlights failed shortly before the end of Canvey Island vs. Margate, with Margate 4-0 up, and the result stood. There is a certain inconsistency of policy here, I think.

Hope Dulwich win by a huge margin, even if it works against us.

Wasn't a decision we made. Hoping for a leather head win myself.

I don't see how you can award Dulwich the match when there was still plenty of time for Leatherhead to score two goals. Games are 90 mins plus... not 85 just because a wall collapses.
Sure Dulwich are annoyed but I personally think this is the fairest way.

I'd say that as the wall came down with the celebrations of Dulwich scoring the second on 76 minutes that 14 mins plus stoppages would still have to be played which is plenty of time for a game to change

Im pretty sure I read in the fa rule book once, that a result could stand after 70 or 80 mins of play. Not sure of the exact time but it seems to me that Dulwich have been hard done by.

Given that it was Dulwich's fans that caused the wall to fall down I believe that LevRed should be awarded the points and Dulwich docked points for failing to control their supporters! ;D

i think that leatherhead should be banished to a construction college and dulwich deducted 15 points for hooliganism and a point for each onesy worn. whatever im on about, leatherhead at fault for using air instead of concrete and steel. anyway, an extra game for dulwich to play...great. remember people... stones 1st politeness 5th

The video posted on Youtube by a Dulwich fan clearly showed that they were standing on the wall at the end that it collapsed. This may have contributed to their own undoing ! You can't lay the total blame on Leatherhead when some actions of Dulwich fans may have contributed to the collapse. Leatherhead can't legislate for that sort of behaviour/abuse of the ground whilst the game is in progress. |
