The madness of non league football

[Eastside Urchin]

Have heard that Brentwood Town are to play their remaining two home fixtures away from their home,at redbridge as they failed to put up a tunnel to protect the referees.They were given 6 months to do so but I believe refused so the ground has been closed.I believe this goes back to an incident when a referee was sworn at by a fan at the end of the game and the obvious jobsworth referee reported the club to the FA who took such a (in my mind) ridiculous measure.This sort of incident happens all over the country week in week out and while not always necessary,peoples frustrations can get out of hand,especially when an official handles a game wrong in some peoples minds.

Obviously I have heard this from a Brentwood source so there may be more to the story but it seems as if as usual the fans are being made to suffer more than the club.
