Farnborough at Home 8th March

[DonnyNo6]

Just been announced it will be segregated again.

[Reading Rebel]

The club have been given advice to segregate the game.

Would that be advice from the police or Farnborough themselves because of their hooligan element?

[GlenSTFC]

Madness and will stop some from attending.

I'm sure the club wouldn't be doing this without good reason.

Presumably the advice has come from the police and if so probably advisable to listen to them.

[Windsor Rebel]

Correct decision, we dont want those Farnborough wannabe tough guys causing problems again

[GlenSTFC]

I know it’s not the clubs fault as they say it was enforced but absolutely madness for a (possible) nothing game the crowd wouldn’t have been that high anyway. I hope they give Farnborough the usual side section.

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

yeah preferably outside

[Markskelton]

From what I can read it sounds like it’s a bit half a**sed segregation…farnborough fans can still use the main facilities?

That wouldn't make sense.

I reckon they'll get the east stand and far corner or both of the far corners.

On the segregation bit, the club said the decision was taken after receiving advice.

Someone on the Farnborough forum reckons it's because there have been recent postings on social media about 'fans' organising trouble.

I read that they will get half the east stand and home supporters will still be able to access the far stand.

The info says that away support will get seating in the Berkeley Community Stand which has reserved seats for home support.

Does sound a bit odd if it's segregated. 

[SloughFlyer]

Someone asked on twitter and they were told 50% of the stand each. I would assume the middle will be fenced and divided.

Sounds like that but why change the arrangement from all previous segregated matches? Alternatively why not have this in place from the beginning!

[Reading Rebel]

So presumably those with reserved seats will have to take any seat that's available.

Those behind the goal 1st half how did we not get 2 penalties or were the decisions correct…

Good game and cracking goal from Slavi.

A draw was a fair result on the day as neither side did enough to win yet neither deserved to lose. Positives include another well taken goal from Spasov, Ogbonna looked back to his best (I didn't get a clear look to see if his booking was really simulation) and an assured display from Horlock.

However it also fair to say that, except for a 10 minute spell at the start of the 2nd half, we didn't really look like winning. Wins are what's needed to inject some life back into our season put any lingering relegation worries to bed; we've had more than enough opportunity over the past 18 games for us to be comfortably safe now and looking to next season. Yet we've only won twice in this time and there's still plenty of work to do.

The last 3 months (ever since we won the "we beat Maidenhead" trophy) have been a calamity. With this in mind and with money obviously extremely tight, is anyone looking to next season (or even the remainder of this season) with any optimism?

[Irishadrian]

Good that we topped an attendance 0f 1000  (1017 according to Farnborough )

A draw was not a fair result according to Spencer Day.

According to him Scott should have been sent off, they were much the better side with the better chances and our goal was due to a mistake from one of their players and both of our shouts for penalties were soft.
