To me this just seems to be an ongoing spat from Woodthorpes days at Fylde. Something personal between him and Cowell. Club should carry out a full investigation including police reports (if any) and if rumours of mass invasion of change rooms are unfounded then the club should complain to the press regulators and claim compensation for the Mail maliciously damaging the clubs reputation and also demand a full apology be printed in the paper.

All this anti-fascist/racist talk while you call Welsh people goats.
Strange bunch.

Not trying to start an argument as previously just asking you to stop bringing your political beliefs into a thread at every opportunity.Its a football forum.others have said the same. Fair point and let's keep it club-related going forwards. This shouldn't even need to be said, if people want to talk politics do it in the off topic forum. We've already lost a member due to the incessant derailing of threads because of the introduction of political views on every thread.

People slating the forum. Just don't visit anymore. Its not mandatory. Loving the flounces though, its like an early Big Brother episode. What the Daily Mail and AFC Fylde are is very pertinent to this story, like it or not. Lets wait for the CCTV to come out when it becomes apparent the fans waiting by the yellow doors were kids waiting for the players. By the way, "dog breath" killed me I think the point people are trying to make is that they want to talk about Chester FC and no, there isn't another option. I'm disappointed you've decided to be a bit passive aggressive and tell people who don't like the political posting to go elsewhere as you talk a lot of sense when it comes to football, as is true of most people on here. We have an in crowd on here who absolutely hammer anyone who disagrees with them and are happy to like each other's posts mocking them (including when they are genuinely upset by something). I'm a 50 yo teacher who probably teaches some of your kids and this is like the stuff we have to manage day-in day-out with teenagers. I'm asking that we can be a little bit less bullying and a bit more open to other viewpoints if we are so happy to share our own. I thoroughly enjoy reading fellow fans views on the team that I love, but my heart sinks when I see people being mocked and feel if I don't say something I'm complicit.

Sorry if you feel I have been bullying by having a pop at a Wrexham fan sticking his oar in. Didn’t think much of it myself but obviously others do.

It must be giving AFC Fylde great satisfaction reading some of the posts on this thread.

A lot of people acting very over sensitive today.
The Mail is a disgrace of a rag, and Fylde are a disgrace of a club. What is there to disagree with?

I wasn't referring to that Frank, just have a look back through at people mocking other Chester fans and Neil (loving my life right now) Hunt showing people the door. The ironic thing is we probably all brush shoulders and say hello are the game but are happy to rip into each other semi-anonymously. I'm happy to talk footy or politics til the cows come home (you'll be able to spot me on crutches in the bar for the next few games), just trying to stand up for the minority on here.

Again, sorry to disappoint you BJ, but I've shown nobody the door. It seems some people are hyper sensitive to what I believe are related issues around the Daily Mail and AFC Fylde. I've also not ripped into anybody? I would just suggest that if they let something bother them then the easiest thing is to block the individual who offends/upsets you, or have a rest from it. Upwards and onwards to Kings Lynn anyway. Anybody know how their Chairman voted in the Brexit debate?* *jokes

For a supporter who lives out of the area Having worked hard all day. I thought I’d have a read to try and get the latest in this AFC Fylde saga. I’ve read a CV page and a half no wiser as to what’s gone or currently going on. Yet had to endure all the absolute nonsense with people having a go at each other. It’s a fans forum one would hope it be constructive and informative re our club anything but sad

They all claim to love the club but want to constantly criticise everything or push an agenda. All stuck in their ways and need to get gone. Imagine being a teenager excited after going to your first Chester game and you want to talk about it and this garbage is what you see. Shameful that people never think about that.

Maybe if we tried steering it in the right direction then? As far as I can see it's over a day since anyone made what might be called a political point, but people are continuing to complain.
Does anyone have anything to say about the allegations?
Here's my view - Fylde are known to do a lot of moaning. They did it for both the curtailed Covid stance, changing their stance from one season to the next based on what suited their circumstances. We know Woodthorpe successfully sued them, and we know by their choice of manager that ethics don't mean much to them, so I suspect these allegations are exaggerated at best.
However, if even one Chester fan entered their dressing room, that's too many, so we should look into that.

The key is that they are 'considering' reporting an incident to the police. If anything serious had happened they would have done so by now. The journalist has presumably got whoever is the source of the story (at Fylde) to agree to this (ie 'can I write that you are considering going to the police') to try to give it some substance. It's mischief making by Fylde and our club is right to ignore it, and not giving it any credibility by making a statement. However, someone might like to have a quiet word with Woodthorpe (albeit there is history with Fylde) about winding his neck in.

If there was anything in it there would be a club statement on their website which there isn't.

This is another example of why I think on balance the club should offer some sort of response and take control of the narrative.

It pisses me off Spennymoor putting out an official statement like that and taking paper gossip as fact. They're another bloody annoying club in this league! Even the Mail managed to use the word "alleging" and made some effort to seek our side of the story.

I doubt they will be the only club going forward to do so either. Playing devils advocate, I suppose they would argue that if it hadn't happened then surely the club would have denied it.

As I was leaving the main stand on Saturday I noticed the door to the players entrance was open (usually closed). I don't know who opened it but a Fylde van was parked by the door and presumed their kit man was packing up for an early dart. Anyway, their players were going into the dressing room and a few Chester fans were giving them verbals on the way past. This seems to have been the extent of the "attack".
It seems a shithouse club is stirring up something out of nothing because there is apparent bad blood between someone there and an ex employee who now works for us.
A total non event but unfortunately there are plenty of gullible people around prepared to take it at face value without knowing or even trying to confirm the validity of the accusation, which consequently makes us look bad.

The door was open, Danny Rowe started shouting and goading a few fans. A few fans walked to the door and a few words were exchanged, then James Rowe came and he was giving it too. Police came and moved the fans on.
The End

The club has extensive CCTV coverage at the Deva. Taking some time to trawl through it. Nothing that resembles the Fylde claim so far and I am sure there will be a statement in due course.

Surely it’s downright libellous for them to present an (unverified) allegation about our supporters as if it were fact? Either way it’s very poor from Spennymoor and as others have noted, it seems as though the mention of other clubs in their statement is an attempt to deflect attention from their need to get their own house in order and to present their issues as part of a ‘wider footballing problem’.
