AlwaysLeighton 10 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 No, we are banned, I am banned, we’re all banned. I am not surprised they’ve made this decision as they always threw all blame at us, however, I think 5 or so people that caused issue, who the club took action again, means all Leighton supporters get banned? I think that’s completely out of order and unacceptable and look forward to seeing the outcome against Eynesbury. Saturday was a fantastic day to be a Leighton Town supporter off the pitch, amazing support and brilliant to see so many faces enjoying watching their local side. The support was brilliant. On the pitch, we were okay, worked hard, just the first 15 minutes let us down. Connor should’ve come on earlier yes, however, it would’ve been difficult for even him to make an impact.

It appears Eynesbury Rovers Chairman Matt Plumb has held a grudge ever since 11 January and has possibly planned for this moment as the League game at Hall Road last season wasn't played, it's surprising as I always thought Mr Plumb was a reasonable man and actually felt sorry for him when Mark Ducket stabbed him in the back, coincidentally shortly after the FA Vase 4th Round tie in January.

Yes, the club did do that and handed out lifetime bans from the club to certain individuals, so I’m told. I understand they don’t want a repeat of those scenes, neither does our club. You’ve got to remember that Eynesbury are not blameless in this. Their own supporters didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory and let’s not forget just how badly Eynesbury prepared for a game of this stature. Neither are Leighton of course, but Eynesbury are not perfect or victims in this. They need to start taking some responsibility. Mr Plumb said a few things to the local paper I don’t agree with as well as a few things online after the game, therefore, I don’t think he’s a pleasant bloke. Ducket quitting just 3 days later will always be a funny moment to be a Leighton Town fan! Hope we win 4-3 tonight and Ashton Campbell scores the winner again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysLeighton - Was it Mr Plumb who said things, I know Mark Ducket said the following and made it look like it was all about the Leighton Town fans but had Eynesbury Rovers held on to win the tie and go to Bradford Town in the next round it would have been a different story, mind you the trouble might not have happened then, we're not to know: “I didn’t expect that at all, it was mental,” said Ducket. “I’ve never witnessed anything like it. As a football person I’ve seen most things in the game though, and this was a recipe for disaster. It was basically 100-odd kids with flares chucking things and playing the hard man. I got my lads in close as I could see what was going to happen. I had a punch thrown at me, but that doesn’t bother me, Seats were ripped out, the stand is damaged, the Portakabins are in a terrible state and parts of the pitch are still red from the flares, and we all had our families down there. At the end of the day though, it was a great cup tie to be involved with and nobody died, we just lost an FA Vase tie. But we went to Clacton and won and didn’t do that. There’s ways of winning, and that isn’t it. Fair play to the Leighton Town players as it was a great comeback, whereas we buckled and froze all over. I always tell a player there’s a reason they’re playing step five, and you have to question the commitment, desire and mentality. We were miles off the pace, Sunday League. I made a few decisions which may have backfired, but you cannot account for the individual errors. We melted under the occasion and it’s a life lesson learnt. Leighton won the game and you can’t take that away from them, but I never want to be in that situation again on or off the pitch.” https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/sport/football/eynesbury-rovers-manager-reacts-shameful-17567856 Edited October 6, 2020 by Rhodes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, if Eynesbury hold on and win 3-1, 3-2 even, it never kicks off like it did. When you’re 3-1 down with 15 to go, surrounded by your mates, supporting your local team, and you win 4-3 in the 91st minute, then emotions run high. I’d never change the score line for the world, my favourite live game of football, ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winslow Boy 286 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) He didn’t give it very long, I know it was a hell of a big jump but unless it was immediately obvious he was way out of his depth this seems a bit premature. Unless of course he was told he wasn’t going to get a game. Great news for Leighton though. Edited October 31, 2020 by Winslow Boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I saw that, he got man of the match. I'm not altogether sure what Lee Bircham was trying to do during pre-season as he brought everyone under the sun to Vauxhall Road, some players such as Webby haven't been able to get a look in including the pre-season friendlies when he was always on the bench.
