Page 6 - Deal Round Up April 2020

Matches have been abandoned, players have walked off the pitch and clubs have imposed
banning orders and even prosecutions in some cases.
Yet, here we are, two months into 2020 for goodness sake and we’re still trying to find ways
of tackling a problem which has permeated English football since the dark days of the 1970s.
Nearly 50 years! Doesn’t seem possible, does it?
For now, we, the supporter, can play our part in eradicating the problem by reporting any
suspected abuse to a nearest steward, club employee or even police officer. Scott Rickards
made a stand , so let’s follow suit and form a united front to stamp out racism from our
football grounds.
Let’s Support The FA Trophy - By Matt Badcock
A FEW years back, a manager - who will remain nameless - of a then-Conference club finished
giving his post-match interview.
His side had just lost an FA Trophy quarter-final. He’d said all the things you’d expect.
Disappointed that his side had been below par, frustrated at the goals they’d conceded and
rued the missed opportunity of a trip to Wembley.
Then, after checking the assembled press had got what they needed and all dictaphones were
off, he cheered, ‘I’m so glad we’re out!’
In truth, you could partly see his point. They were going for
promotion, something the club desperately wanted and the
additional games could have been a tipping point.
But the Trophy has had a bit of a kicking in recent years.
Managers moaning about fixture pile-ups, calls for it to become
a midweek competition, there was even a spell when the final
was moved to March in a bid to help those Step 1 clubs.
