I think we need a stewards' enquiry.

In a game in a 3,200 capacity ground, where EVERY ticket had been sold, and could have been sold twice over, how come the attendance was only 2,858??

Did 342 people buy a highly sought after ticket for both team's most important game for years (ever, in Worthing's case) just not bother to go?!

There's no way segregation reduced the capacity by 342 - hardly any standing space was lost (take note MUFC), and there were no H&S issues that would have reduced the capacity.

Or perhaps the 12 year-old who was checking our tickets just lost count?

At the time I thought the area behind the goal we were attacking in the first half that was relatively sparse would fill up for the second half but from memory it didn't. I think this lends more support to the argument that a neutral ground should be considered for these games.

Can I ask when me and Raymondo get our 20 bonus points each for finishing 1st and 2nd last year, or have you forgotten?

Oddly enough I was thinking of having a handicap system whereby the winners start thirty points behind everyone else, that or having a second division with just one promotion place...

And automatic points deductions for pleading special cases or arguing with the referee.

Don't worry, that kind of thing has been taken care of elsewhere

That is a great idea. I think it should apply to the top four, not just the winner, this season.
