I have followed Tonbridge for several seasons and it was painfully aware that they had a severe lack of finance reflected in the small budget they gave Steve McKimm and he has done wonders there getting them promoted and keeping them in the NLS ,their financial situation will dramatically improve from next season when their new 4G pitch gets laid and with the additional revenue generated they will have the opportunity to compete financially in the NLS
I feel sorry for Steve McKimm as he deserved the chance but just shows there is no loyalty in football and I thought Tonbridge were better than that !!!!

Perhaps there is some decency if Football after all , Tonbridge have cancelled the end of season presentations at the Players request , it seems they are p.....d off at McKimms departure and a large number of fans are calling for him to be reinstated , obviously NOT going to happen as he would tell them to F.... Off , it seems [ allegedly ] that a newly installed Director has Delusions of Grandeer " and was behind the sacking so hopefully she will get her just reward and then no doubt disappear but NOT before she has left them in the mire !!
Full marks to the Tonbridge Players , I am willing to bet that many will NOT be there next season
Add to that the stupid sacking of Darren Blackburn at Sittingbourne as he would be too busy building an extension to his house and KENT doesnt come out with much credit this week

You beat me to it Dukey regarding Darren & Sittingbourne.
He is actually moving house and because of this it seems Sittingbourne decided to sack him albeit it hasn’t gone down to well with some of their players & fans as well as some of the board. A handful of the board wanted to keep him after he gave them their highest finish in the league for a while on a limited budget. Darren is absolutely gutted after being told in a phone call.

No loyalty in the game now. It's so easy to make a phone call or a video chat.

Ebsfleet finished above us. They beat Chippenham something we haven’t done in 3 games with them so unfortunately Ebsfleet deserve to be in the final. I’d be shocked if Dorking don’t batter them though.

Dorking and Ebbsfleet gone to extra time
Ebbsfleet scoring what looked to be a winner in the 93rd, originally 6 minutes added on however their fans decided to throw a flare on the pitch. Dorking then equalised in the 100th minute.
Dorking just scored early on in extra time.

That idiot who chucked the flare on the pitch may have cost them but know doubt they will blame the ref.

They are blaming everyone they can and complaining about the police. What a horrible horrible way to lose. I still can’t stop laughing at the tin pot club
