You mean North Ferriby, of course?
How the mighty have fallen...

Apologies , yes for the mighty North Ferriby. The final score was Port 2 North Ferriby 4
Guisley also had a fine away win by 2-1 at our old friends Macclesfield Town.
Some very sad news. Barrow lost 2-1 to a 94th minute winner at bottom of the Conference York

Good man. It can't be easy when there are still knuckle-draggers roaming freely but laughing at them has got to be the best response. I'm not sure I'd find it as easy to laugh at them.

Well, I'm definitely two of the four. Definitely not one of them. And I'll leave it up to others to decide about the remaining one!
Seriously, as a disabled person, I've not [yet] experienced any real blatant discrimination. I've come across some overt discrimination. Interestingly, two occasions of overt discrimination both occurred when I was taking photos for the club. As I was representing the club at the time, I won't go in to exact details, other than to say one experience was so poor that I will simply never return to that club. The other occasion was interesting. A kiosk had been sited on the pavement leading to the entrance that media were using but there was no drop curb. I asked for some help and was told in no uncertain terms that I should have phoned ahead to tell them I was using a wheelchair. Being an assertive person, I responded by pointing out their obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act/Equality Act with regard to access to goods & services. 'Grumpy' left and wasn't seen again but I was passed on to a different steward who helped me fine.
As I'm mentioning it, most places I've been have been excellent, but top marks go to Mansfield Town. Despite the challenges of an old stadium with the usual access issues, the stewards there were superb. They helped me get in to position, then the head safety officer came and had a chat with me. He brought another steward with him and told us both, "in the event that we have to evacuate, you [steward] come straight here and assist this gentleman in evacuation. Also, there are steps around the back of the stand [where the tea hut is]. If you want a drink or anything, just ask him [steward] and he'll go and get them for you". Superb, positive attitude and probably the only place that has really considered & planned for my safety. Shame the football was so dire!
But I know some people with disabilities who faced dreadful discrimination, including being abused in the street.

In the end a consolation goal as the 10 men of the much changed Tottenham line-up scored 2 late goals for a 4-3 win.
It will be the highlight of Thommo's career to score such a fine header in the final season of White Hart Lane.

Really? Better than his Wembley appearance for us when he scored one and made one?
