I'd like to know why we are at any more of a disadvantage compared to the vast majority of teams at our level who for the most part seemed able to get themselves through against lower ranked opposition. We can appeal to fans to raise more money, blame the lack of budget etc.....but every single team in our league finds themselves in this position

 Interesting point

Was poor.

Defence shocking. Centre backs were disinterested and disorganised

Midfield was playing in treacle.

Only players to come out with credit for me were dipo and wilksey.

They deserved it

I'm not sure what has happened to Maidstone's squad but they were good value for the 3-1 down there late last season, at a time when we were playing decent football and still thought we were play off long shots. Based on what I've read here about the players we have at the moment, we could be in for an absolute splatting of the highest order on that plastic pitch ****e. Just a good job I won't be able to get wound up by those little chav pricks the other side of the stewards !!

 Geting beaten 4-1 on your own pitch by a team three divisions below isn't? Am sure we got tanked serveral times at Butterfly Lane. Yesterday was not as significant, I'd argue, even in the current climate as the loss to Kingstonian in 1992 which made our qualification for the first round a lot more difficult until they changed the qualification system.

 Anyone that can defend yesterdays result and compare it to other very bad results for the club really needs to take their beer goggles off.

After how bad we were in pre season you could see this result coming unfortunately.

 If it was aimed at me, do point  out where I was defending yesterday's performance?

I have 35 years of crap performances to compare it against which gives a certain perspective but still appears to be somewhat less than you are bringing to bear in your assessment.

I don't deal in hyperbole, even on the somewhat infamous subject of George Borg (for which it would undoubtably been most apt).

I'm still waiting for any well reasoned argument to be put forward as to why our position of being under prepared and damaged by COVID financially is any worse than practically any other club at our level - particularly those who didn't seem to have any problems with their 'banana skin' ties yesterday.

 Hate to say it Chris but not the taxpayer but the fans of both clubs. Would love to know if this happened at other step 2 away to lower league team or just us.

The club has been poorly run under MG. It is still owned by MG and is not in a better financial shape and never will be so long as he has an interest in the club. End of.

Covid has hammered pretty much everyone financially, but in there have been savings. And Welling will be benefiting from a lower wage demand, lower outgoings, grants, payment holidays and i would image the deal with the brewery coincided with the old one being knocked and the new one giving a golden hello of some sort.

Jamieson is right in what he says: We have no excuse.

And for the police going to sheppey..... like lots of folk, they are trying to look busy at the moment. No fights up the high street on friday nights or ASB and crime is down in general, so they are drumming up business you could say!

 Because the club was in a financial mess before covid, home game attendances were not generating enough income to covering outgoings and if anything covid helped stop it being worse by not having to pay player wages. There were 7 games left 4 of which were away so would of been no income there, but then things like no charlton friendly etc haven't helped. 

---

 So basically no different to every other team that has pre season friendlies against larger clubs and who all spend somewhere between £4k and £6k per week in wages then

---

 But they would of had money in reserve to keep the their core players. And be more organised commercially. I dont think anyone has brought in good players, but they've kept most of what they had.

Maidstone fielded 3 players yesterday that were on trial with them and I couldn't tell you anything about 1 of them.

I believe there were a couple of PCs at the Corinthian game

Any signs of Chiori Johnson and Harold Joseph??? Hopefully theyre involved tonight.

Up the wings!!!
